I’m pretty sure I had this as a kid, mostly because of the disappointing weird, chubby Batman and Robin figures that are at the drivers seat. As a kid, if you couldn’t take the figures out of something, I had entirely no use for it. I was totally spoiled thanks to the good people at […]
Just found this cool still of behind the scenes of filming the Big Jim P.A.C.K Beast commercial, you almost never see stuff like this but the main reason I like this is that it means there are commercials for Big Jim’s P.A.C.K out there! One of these days I will track these down, mark my […]
Dan Bru, a graphicdesigner/artist/blogger living in West Paris, Maine dropped me a line this week with some peaks at his uber cool upstairs office. Dan muses on comics, art and pop culture on his very own blog 3-d monster.That Brianiac figure is one of Dan’s own creations, which reminded that I used to know him […]
In the late seventies, Charles Fries productions (the same people who brought you the TV version of Spider-Man) undertook an ambitious project, bringing Ray Bradbury’s acclaimed book of short stories “The Martian Chronicles” to Television as a 6 hour event. The names involved were a Science Fiction fans dream, Richard Matheson wrote the screenplay and […]
Some great new variation figures added to the AHI Monster Gallery today, cataloging these is a bigger chore than I imagined, below we have wrist jointed Dracula:Man he looks pissed that someone stole his shoes! These jointed wrist versions are the closest things to Mego, but for some reason they all have the Wolfman’s hairy […]
UK kids weren’t immune to the awesome, corrupting influence of George Lucas and got Star Wars Mania every bit as bad as we did here in North America. There were of course, subtle differences as evidenced in this 1979 toy catalog by Palitoy, UK distributor for the Kenner line. Among them you’ll notice several exclusives […]
I didn’t hear tell of the Sears exclusive Cantina playset until my adult years and I think the first time I’ve ever heard of “action figure variants” was this blue suited Snaggle Tooth. Even though he’s tall and I never had him as a kid, he’s just one of those things that makes my nerdy […]
Big Wheels were the Rolls freaking Royce of children’s transportation in the 1970s, there seemed to be at least two on every block. The Big Wheel however was only one part of the Marx “Ride ‘Ems” line which included some fun and strange vehicles, check out the 1975 Marx Ride Ems Catalog here. Related Linkage:
Stretch Serpent, yet another creature to combat Stretch Armstrong with (Geez Kenner, couldn’t you have made him a girlfriend or something?) is way too obviously inspired by the Land of the Lost Sleestaks. That’s probably the reason I want one so bad, sadly these things are tough as nails to find and usually go for […]
Seeing as the film was released on Blue Ray and DVD this week, I thought it would be fun/sad to take a look at the action figures we got screwed out of when the film was in theatres. As the Star Wars franchise started to slow down with the finality of “Return of the Jedi”, […]
