This week’s NTS is our first guest submission, which is fantastic because I could use a breather from baring my nerdy soul. Thomas shares an awesome tale of Halloween humiliation, something near and dear to my heart. Thomas is a Buffalo area kid, seeing as I grew up in Southern Ontario and force fed nothing but WKBW and […]
I had more reader contribution photos but a thumb drive failure caused me to lose all files. Fortunately, my pal Doug sent this to me yesterday and I can think of no better shot to end October. That’s Doug as Godzilla and it’s really fitting, as he’s the guy who helped me score this toy last […]
Followers of this site and blog will know that Collegeville is a favourite subject around here, that’s likely because I got a ton of these as a kid combined with the fact that they got some really cool licenses. This is a Canadian version of the Catalog (by a company called Norbin) and I highly […]
It wouldn’t be Halloween without me extolling the sweet virtue of Remco Mini Monsters, a line I love collecting. Above is a snippet from a 1980 Toys R Us flyer that will appear on the site before Christmas some time. I’ve been trying to find these guys on Canadian issue cards because that’s how I […]
While many of you may have been aware of this vintage bendy from toymaker GLJ, I was blissfully unaware at how cool it was. I periodically search GLJ on Ebay in hope of finding a Monster Squad Frank Bop Bag (someday) and this little guy popped up instead. It was love at first sight, the figure […]
I picked up these little guys on Ebay UK (a lot of wonderful strangeness comes out of the UK for some reason) and while I’ve never seen or heard of them before, they did look oddly familiar… More after the jump While not licensed it’s pretty obvious that these two were based on the Mego […]
I LOVE it when folks share their collections with me, especially when it’s stuff near and dear to my heart like Monster toys. John was kind enough to give us a peak into his lair today and it’s a drool worthy assortment of old and new, more after the jump. If you dare! A lot […]
As much as I’d like to say I own this killer Collegeville Ultraman suit, I don’t. Fortunately for me, Corey volunteered some shots of his collection to the blog including the two variations of this classic suit, more after the jump. Above is the first version suit and smock, I don’t know why they chose […]
My love for the Aurora Monster model kits knows no bounds, I’ve bought and re bought them several times over during my life and I’m currently repairing the ones my kids and I did over the years. I thought it would be fun to go through some old timey ads where they could be purchased […]
I am not at all fond of Ventriloquist dummies but I am somewhat smitten with this Frankenstein version from the UK. Mostly because it’s really easy to drink a glass of water and go “Mrrrrrrrrrrrr”.
