Mr. Mentor’s Autograph

After watching the Shazam! movie last night (It’s a lot of fun), I was reminded of how obsessed I was with the Filmation series as a kid/adult.  One of my favourite pieces I’ve found is this Mr. Mentor promotional “autograph” from the series. Seeing as Les is no longer with us, it’s the best I’ll ever […]

Pod Stallions Episode 55: Tarzan

Their offering for 1974 was a fun mix of generic staples like bubbles, paddle balls, toy guns that you can still find to this day. On the licensing side they had everything from Batman to the […]

Pod Stallions Episode 24: Starlog

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 […]

Costume Spotlight: Web Woman

I know it seems odd that I’m excited to own a girl’s Halloween costume but this is Web Woman, one of the seven of Filmation’s “Tarzan and the Super 7” fame that I’ve been obsessed with since i was 9. I’ve been looking for this costume for years and managed to get it for $20, […]

Again with the Space Sentinels

I could not love this more. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the […]
