Our November podcast has Jason and Brian waxing nostalgic (which technically is our job) about the glory days of Starlog magazine. Starlog magazine was how both of us first cut our nerdy teeth, a wonderful window into the world of SF and fantasy that gave us that connection. It’s safe to say, this podcast owes […]
Been kind of sidetracked lately and whenever that happens, the world moves on and does neat stuff, so I’ll try and play catch up. 1) Outer Space Men The very cool Outer Space Men line of toys has a new limited edition set called “Cosmic Creators” that are signed by the legendary Mel Birnkrant, creator […]
I’m very happy to unveil Pod-Stallions, our new monthly podcast series which will be dedicated to discussing such important matters as Planet of the Apes week or long reminisces about ToyShop magazine. Joining me each show will be my pal and co chair Jason Lenzi, who people might know from the great “Geek Shall Inherit” show. […]
I loves me some classic Who merchandise, so I was pretty thrilled to find this colouring book from World. Unlike the Pertwee one I looked at a while back, this one suffers from that kind of earth tone ruddiness that a lot of Tom Baker merchandise has, it’s kind of morose and reminds me of […]
2013 marks the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the longest-running science fiction series in the world; the first episode was broadcast on 23 November 1963 · Each of the Eleven Doctors is featured in the set of 11 stamps depicting the actors who played the role over the last five decades · Fans can pre-order […]
This one blew my mind, UK Toy distributor Jotastar (who sold a lot of AHI stuff in the UK) plastered the Blake’s Seven logo on some unrelated friction space ships in the early 1980s. They have no relation to the program but I must admit I want them. For those not in the know, Blake’s […]
TOTALLY TRUE STORY: When i was 15 years old I found a copy of this game at a “Toys and Wheels” store at the mall in Canada. I don’t know how it got there but this store used to buy a lot of close out stock like Action Jackson uniforms and the like so maybe […]
I was gifted this book sight unseen by my pal Andy, who told me it was perfect for the site. I was skeptical, that is until I opened it. It’s the perfect combination of nerdy fan love mixed with fashion mockery. There is as much to mock as there is to absolutely love in this sweet […]
Two of my favourite things together at last! If you needed a reminder that Doctor Who’s popularity is nothing new, then I present the haunting visage of Tom Baker on ….cans of baked beans. Until I see Matt Smith’s face on a packet of “noodles and sauce” I’ll still list Baker as the Doctor that garnered the […]
It’s time once again for my fake awards show dedicated to what I feel is retro goodness of the past year. All in all, 2011 was a tremendous year for this kind of commerce, so there was lots to choose from. I’ve also got some news on the book projects and changes to the site […]
