Mr Spock is concerned about your social life
I love this ad for the “Star Trek metal detection probe” or as I call it the “Social Life Eradicator” has a slightly worried looking Mr Spock overseeing this action. He’s not liking this one bit.
1977 Johnny’s Toys Catalog
Located in Kentucky, Johnny’s Toys was one of those independant Toy retailers you sorely miss in this day and age. The store was very customer friendly, sending children birthday cards that contained a key that could unlock a free gift on their next visit. In addition, they printed these fun catalogs that showcased some of […]
DVD Review: Planet Earth
It’s been a while since I did a DVD review, mostly because I’m lazy but also because I usually only get motivated to talk about obscure things people might miss. Planet Earth is one of those things. I saw this film on CFTO one Saturday afternoon in the 70s and it never quite left me. […]
The Best of Colouring Book Theatre
While I have a new batch of colouring books on the way, they’re not here yet so let’s phone it in and do a clip show citing the highs and lows of reviewing materials for no real good reason. Grab your crayons and follow me after the jump: Most Cringeworthy Hands down, the winner would […]
Star Trek: The Table
Here’s something I recently found in a pile of papers in my basement, a brochure for a child’s table and chairs based on Star Trek and not just that, the Filmation animated Star Trek! If this exists, I simply must own it despite my lack of room and obvious impracticality, it must be mine. I’m […]
Unexpected Halloween costume collection
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 […]
Star Trek Contest Results
Got lots of fun responses to my question last week of Do you think you could take Captain Kirk in a fight? Here are a few of my favourites: “No way. He would Cheat.” “I think the safe answer is no. If it’s Kirk late in a season, once he doesn’t remove his shirt because […]
Colouring Book Theatre: Star Trek
‘Star Trek” by Saalfield (1975) Bit of an milestone today, as we have not only the worst colouring book I have ever seen but the worst bit of Star Trek merchandise ever. Yes, this publication with the nice shot of a slightly inebriated Mr Spock on the cover beats this item and even this item as […]
Book Review: Star Trek 365
Earlier in the year I was asked to participate in a new publication coming out from Abrams books, something called “Star Trek 365”. While I was happy to do to join in, I did kind of wonder “another Star Trek book”? I am a huge fan of the original series and the folks at Abrams […]
