Coolest Rack Toy Ever?


I don't know about you all but I really want to see James Bond and Napoleon Solo team up with the Space Giants and how this all related to a flute/flashlight.

Star Wars Action Favorites!


Even though I wasn't really into Return of the Jedi as a kid, I did love that Kenner was still putting out the original 12 figures during that period. It was like running into old friends...

Spectreman Bowling Pump


Ah the beauty of Rack Toys, even in Japan they take an incredible creative license all the while throwing logic out the window. We are all better for stuff like this.

The Last Star Fighter Prototypes Found



This past week I got one of those emails that I just absolutely live for and that is from the owner of the hand painted set of prototype figures for the Last Star Fighter. Pictured about is the original catalog page we showed here. 

Originally proposed by Galoob, these figures never saw light of day, probably due to the film's lackluster box office (it's a good movie too, I saw it opening weekend). It haunts collectors such as myself a little and that's why this image and the following story made me smile.



More after the Hyper Jump!

All Made to Mix



That right there, is the look of a Stallion, my friends. He will manifest anything he wants today. He pees out more confidence before 9am than I make all year long!

Golden Bathroom Dreams


When I was 17, I had a job which involved tearing out the carpets in a couple of bathrooms that looked just like this. Now, if you'll excuse me I must go wash my hands for the rest of the month.

Mister Rogers toys by Ideal



I wasn't much of a Mr Rogers viewer (more of a Mr. Dressup man) but these toys are all kinds of awesome. I really love the attention to detail on them.

Currently trying to put one of these together to play this with my kids. I'll say it again, OK game but amazing nemesis for your Mego Superheroes.

MPC Star Wars Story




MPC Star Wars models will always remind me of a funny story, well if you're my dad, you wouldn't laugh.


You see in third grade, this cool kid named Andrew (that's his real name, cause I doubt he's a reader)  brought in his fully assembled C3-PO model and somehow, i became "salesman of the year" and got Andrew to lend me the model for the evening

So of course, i broke the elastic that held the damned thing together instantly when I got home.  I panicked, it's in my nature and my folks offered to help.



My fleeting memory of this is my father in his undershirt mumbling "sonovabitch" toiling with C3-PO until the wee hours. I awoke to a fully assembled kit and a warning not to borrow other kid's toys. I was saved!

I didn't learn my lesson and when Andrew traded me for my "Incredible Hulk" treasury edition for his hardbound editions of "Superman and Batman: From the 30's to the 70's" I just let it go until the eight grade. I realized Andrew was just not that interested in his material possessions. 

Pssst Andrew, I still have your books...
