I honestly never set out in this life to collect Halloween costumes, I blame working on this site because now I’ve got a bunch of these things littering my house and I thought I’d share. It all began with the Ben Cooper Frankenstein above, which I bought two years ago yesterday at a toy show […]
Here are some of the first few fun pics submitted for our 2010 Halloween Countdown Contest (which is still open BTW) these come to us from Jon of Pop Culture Central and it’s him and his brother meeting the Frankenstein Monster at Universal stuidos in the 80s. I rarely get sent classic Monster Appearances so it’s blast to […]

James sent me in this awesome shot of himself still wearing his Ben Cooper Superman costume well past October 31st as what can be evidenced by what is in the background. I say, Bravo to you James. I find the sight of Halloween decorations being replaced by Santa on October 31st somewhat bothersome.

What a tough choice kids had in 1979, smooth as glass spy James Bond or those “Whacky” Village People? In 1979 it was an honest dilemma, now those pictures look like different sections of an adult video store. “I’d get the biker son, he looks tough, that Roger Moore is a cissy!”Please tell me that […]
This is an ad from Canadian Tire of all places and I totally remember it, these guys were in my stocking one Christmas. Originally they were made by Azrak Hamway (AHI) . The three figures included a suspiciously familiar “Rex Dinosaur”, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and King Kong, each shot sparks from it’s […]
