Loving the props in this one, especially the feats of strength although I don’t know why the Spock kid is lifting a dumbell.

Ok, I would so totally use a set of these on my bed today. This picture also features one of my favourite things, the use of toys in the child’s bedroom set. For some reason, I really like that extra detail, I probably need to get out more. That’s the Dinky Toys Enterprise by the […]

G.I. Joe meets the Six Million Dollar Man, that’s a cross over that happened more than once in my house. This page comes from Simpsons, a long gone Canadian retailer.Speaking of cross overs, you can see the other side to this beautiful double page spread (which features Big Jim and Mego) at the Megomuseum. It’s […]
ACTION FIGURES, CLASSIC 70’S by ~dusty-abell on deviantARTI got sent a link to this amazing piece by Dusty Abell last night and just had to showcase it today. This is pretty much how things looked in my six year old mind, I’m truly floored and need to get a copy of this somehow for my […]
