I’m not a huge gum card guy but Monster cards are an obvious exception that’s why this set of cards sent in by Matt make me smile, I’ll let him explain: Given the fact that the great Christopher Lee passed away this last year, I could think of nothing more fitting than this for my […]
Well here is something I’ve never seen before, thanks to my buddy Matt for sharing. This is a Ben Cooper Cousin Eerie Halloween costume based of course on the mascot for the Warren magazine Eerie.that ran for nearly 20 years. And it’s a great costume too!

While Kenner was scrambling to make Star Wars action figures, Ben Cooper got Star Wars costumes out for 1977. Two weeks after Halloween, I doubt it mattered…..
Imperial made the 1980s more fun by laying out some truly inspired Godzilla merchandise from the insane bubble blowing bong to the more logical PVC Godzilla. I still have mine that I purchased 30 (sigh!) years back, it followed through every dorm room/crappy apartment and is still kicking!
