Our second October episode, Jason and Brain try to cram in as many monster toys as they can into an hour and a half. Aurora model kits, Marvel comics, action figures by Tomland, Remco and Lincoln International get discussed as does Cracked magazine, Power Records, the number of times we rented “LifeForce” on VHS (I’ve […]
It’s been a while since I updated the Remco Monsters at Home Gallery, thanks mostly to some bargains being found. Above is the carded Creature set, something I had basically given up on owning. The Creature, is always the painful one to get in any set, mostly due to his popularity. Here is the Mummy, […]
Spider-Man, Reggie Jackson,three babies, somebody’s dad and KISS. It’s a super team nobody wanted but everyone got. Remco links . ..
I have a real obsession with toy makers giving Super Heroes who are largely anti-gun, a gun. The most galling is Batman, Spider-man comes a close second as he’s also a victim of gun related violence but the caped crusader is the weirdest to me. Remco got around this by making it a light gun […]

The man was a visionary, Whenever Anderson’s name appeared, awesome merchandise […]
I’ve never heard of Pied Piper Stores, not surprising, as I didn’t grow up in California in the 1970s. No doubt they were one of the many “Mom and Pop” toy store chains that at one magical time dotted our landscape. One thing i do know is that Pied Piper stores had a pretty grasp […]
I am lucky enough to know the owner of these original factory pulls of the 9″ Remco Creature from the Black Lagoon and Phantom of the Opera figures. It’s also advantageous that he brought them over to my house last spring and let me photograph them. From the collection of the line’s sculptor, the difference […]
Stumbled upon this great Captain Company ad for the Remco Monsters figures and well there’s no better time to showcase it than now. Also, I can also tease the fact that I’ll be showcasing some never before seen Remco Monster goodies this month, stay tuned….
