Busy at Work Post Friday!

Wow, I’m keeping busy at work and it’s Friday. Strange huh? Anyway, I suppose I owe all you folks something that are surfing the web on a Friday afternoon or evening. While I don’t think there’s a lot of you out there (as comments and traffic indicates), I value you just as ...

TAtTF: X-Men are Xciting and Xwesome. Wait…


This Toy Ads that Time Forgot let’s us take a look back at a highly successful toyline of the 90s, Toybiz’s X-Men line of figures. The toys came out about the same time as the amazingly good X-Men cartoon that aired on Fox. Mutant loving kids bought these figures by Toybiz in droves an...

Facebook’s Star Wars Figures

There’s an “app” (what the cool kids call applications) on Facebook that is both infinitely useless and kind of neat for toy collectors. The app is called, “Star Wars Figures” and it’s pretty much what the name implies. It has a bunch of pictures of vintage Star ...

TMNT Vinyl Figures
This is one of those posts where I again say that I don’t collect vinyl figures, but I do think a few select ones are cool blah blah blah blah. I don’t think it’s any wonder that these vinyl figures fall into my (more likely your) range of interests:

It’s my birthday today and I’m really hoping that your present is in the mail. If it is not, I will really have to reevaluate our blogger/bloggie relationship. Since it’s my birthday, I brought some virtual treats of things that are awesome.

G.I. Joe Diorama Coolness
While digging through my old picture files, I found a set of pictures that had been taken at Wizard World Chicago some years ago. The pictures are of a rather large G.I. Joe diorama that had been set up of Cobra attacking what looked like an oil refinery. The thing was fan-friggen-tastic and would h...

Mail-away Weekend

This last Friday I received a nice surprise in front of my door… my G.I. Joe Anniversary Operation: Rescue Doc mail-away Doc! I’m thankful that I live in an apartment complex where people don’t steal your mail that’s laying out. I’d rather not ever have to...

The Playskool (i.e. Hasbro) Rose Petal Cottage is a set for little girls that contains a lot of things like a kitchen, washer/dryer, and a baby basket. The girl in the commercial looks like she is having fun with all her great play toys, but is she really? What may seem like an innocent playtime ac...

Wizkids is Gone

It’s hard to believe, but the company responsible for collectible table top games like Heroclix is gone. I know that this little bit of news hit this week and I realize that many of you probably had seen it already, I just wanted to put in my two cents.

I was at one time obsessed with Heroc...

Friday Round Up

I’ve got a quick couple of notes to send out this Friday. I don’t want to make a regular habit out of this, but sometimes I can’t justify making a whole post out of one line items.
Item: The Wizard Universe Message Boards (run by the company that publishes magazines like ToyFare a...
