Today’s spotlight is the fun DVD Dr Shocker’s Vault of Horror, released this past fall, it is something I’ve been meaning to talk about for some time. If you like monsters and monster toys, you need to check this out after the jump. One of the nicer people I’ve gotten to know in this journey […]
So in my post two weeks ago about these wonderful items, I ended with “does anyone collect these?”. Enter Mike, who chimed in with “I do” and he proceded to share his killer collection with us. I had no idea that some of these, like the giant version pictured above, existed. The photos below are […]
I found this game at a toy show a while back, it’s dated 1977 and is made by Hasbro but I have no recollection of ever seeing it before. The vendor was a friend and told me to take it for five dollars, i hadn’t bought anything that day so it was a pretty quick […]
I was super stoked to find this amazing Chemtoy catalog page featuring the Groovie Goolies figures (which I sadly don’t own but luckily are featured in Rack Toys). It’s bittersweet that the find happened just as I get news that Lou Scheimer has passed away. It’s no secret I adored the man’s work and I […]
This picture from the 1980 Combex catalog is something I’ve been searching for years for, evidence of who distributed these darn things. It’s kind of joyous to see the Creatures from Other Worlds mingling with the Star Raiders and Famous Monsters of Legend. Now I’ve just got to find the catalog from the next […]
I recently came across this promotional folder from Mattel full of different concepts for stores to boost sales of (duh) Mattel Toys. The one that most interested me was the Halloween specific teaming of Suckerman, Gre-Gory and Krusher into an end cap called the “Creepy Feature”. While I’m 100% sure this never made it to […]
Since I originally posted about these little guys three years back, I haven’t added anything to the collection. In fact, I’m kind of the belief I may not be able to complete the set for the price I’m willing to pay. Fortunately, I have a pal in Bill, who has some of the characters I […]
I’ve always wanted one of these AHI squirt guns, but they’re so rare and desirable that I could never come close. The other thing that held me back was paying a beefy sum for a squirt gun. I don’t know why that should bother me but it did. Fortune smiled on me and I managed […]
October brings out the best in us as both Jason and myself appear to be “Autumns”. More importantly, October serves as a countdown to Halloween and brings with it all sorts of memories of monsters and horror. Throughout this episode we explore our first experiences with the genre, what publications were most helpful and what […]
This Super Monsters set from Combex/Tomland pretty much nails everything that I like about Monster toys. The generic monsters combined with that all too awesome box artwork. While I’ve seen the boxed set surface (rarely) I’ve never seen the individual carded sets before. You never know with Tomland stuff though, they may surface.
