‘Doctor Who Press Out Book” by World It’s been entirely too long since I did a colouring book theatre, this is mostly due to laziness as I’ve actually got some material kicking around. This fine book was gifted to me by Ray Miller, who runs the cool Micronauts fan group Micropolis Embassy. The punch outs […]
Oh how I would have enjoyed such a toy as a lad. Doctor Who was on twice a week at 7:30 growing up and it had a big effect on me (having limited channels as a boy, I was pretty much spoon fed BBC shows via TVO) but the lack of merchandise was always disappointing […]
In the late 1970s a British Phenomen made it’s way stateside via syndicated package from Time Life, originally offering the first seasons of Fourth Doctor Tom Baker and the rest is cult TV history. This beautiful piece not only has to sell the long running series to an American market but also explain it, which […]
While I have a new batch of colouring books on the way, they’re not here yet so let’s phone it in and do a clip show citing the highs and lows of reviewing materials for no real good reason. Grab your crayons and follow me after the jump: Most Cringeworthy Hands down, the winner would […]
‘Dr Who Colouring Book”If there is one thing that brings me back to being a kid, it’s early seventies Doctor Who especially Jon Pertwee era stuff, he was my Doctor growing up and I both respected and kind of feared him.Later in life I’d get to meet the guy and let me tell you, he […]
Yep, I’m doing an awards show, except without the musical numbers (this is a good thing if you’ve met me), stilted humour and most of all, Billy Crystal. Just thought that instead of talking vintage, I’d point out my favourite nerdy retro treats of the last year. Movies Star Trek: Oh hot damn did I […]
As cool as homemade Darth Vader’s and mall Spider-Men are, you gotta love a vintage picture of a star signing in costume. That’s why I pretty much exploded when Derek (the man responsible for this awesomeness) sent me this pic of 1975 era Tom Baker in full timelord regalia in Debenhams, Plymouth. I’m soooo jealous […]
Card #24 is the Densy Fisher Doctor Who line, it may seem weird to do a Mego line here considering the Megomuseum cards but I’m not sure when we’re ever going to get around to this line and me being a monster fan, just had to do it. I consider it a foreign mego subset. […]
Going across the ocean today and back 31 years to look at the marvelous talking toys produced by Palitoy Bradgate. While we’re all spoiled by voice chips now, a talking toy was a complicated thing back in the day, involving a tiny record. Palitoy made a variety of these items including the Daleks, Batmobile, heck […]
Most North Americans have probably never heard of UK based Berwick toys before but that should change because they created a lot of fun and inspired licensed items for the English market.Berwick’s main items seem to be role play such as their line of play suits and games, while all the American standards are there […]
