Looks like the High Aldwin is in trouble! He better cast magic missile or something

Here, have some Slurfies! They’re some of the neatest 70’s relics around. Kinda like tiny jigglers if that makes sense

Share a character(s) who didn't deserve their fate 🎥 📺

Drop something PURPLE 🦄👾☂️💜

Think about this: The power of Macho Man Randy Savage is so overwhelming that they’ve played his theme song at every graduation ceremony I’ve ever been to

One of my greatest flea market hauls of all time was finding the complete first series of Shogun Warriors minis, including Poseidon here, inside a little wicker basket for a buck apiece

Post a woman wrestler that you love

My fingers are so split from the cold and dealing with paper that I feel like Django in the cemetery trying to shoot using the tombstone

What absolutely MAKES this Wheeled Warriors accessory pack are those TRU clearance stickers. 8 friggin cents! That’s desperation to clear stock right there. I’d have been swimming in Monster Minds like Scrooge McDuck in his vault. Pretty sure I could’ve filled the bathtub with them for like 30 bucks

Casey Jones would’ve been the heaviest hitter in the second series of TMNT figures, but up against a talking brain, the homeless guy in a hockey mask comes up just a tad short. That’s nothing to be ashamed of by the way

When 900 years old, look half as well as this Yoda bubble bath bottle, you will not

Don the Beachcomber, the original Transformer dune buggy with an engine that looks like a Lego piece! The minibots were some of the most ubiquitous Autobots, mainly because they were cheap compared to the full sizers

Filmation had some killer character designs for their Ghostbusters cartoon, maybe none more goofy than Brat-a-Rat

For some reason I’m thinking about how bizarre it was that ten years ago, Olive Garden was playing Michael Buble singing a cover of a song about wishing the world would end. We were already in Weimar Germany and didn’t realize it

So if nothing can stop The Juggernaut, and nothing moves The Blob, what happens if they collide🤔

Wrong sport for today, I know, I know. Well, Eric Bennett is SPORT-1, so presumably that encompasses football as well as baseball, yah? I never fail to be impressed by how *nice* the LJN B6 figures are; so detailed and heavy, beautiful translucent parts and paint apps…

Only caught one shiny. Lame

The moment I realized my fat adult fingers could still fit inside this Oscar the Grouch finger puppet he was of course coming home. Does anybody have a spare of that absolutely psychotic Big Bird finger puppet? He looks like he’s on a ten day bender

Say, ever seen a papaya driving a pink car? Well, now you have, and you didn’t even need to mix ayahuasca and Frangelico

Follow Your Dreams to the Salem County Toy Show on March 30th. Two rooms full of vintage and modern toys, comics, records and ephemera. There will be food trucks! Just $5 admission from 10-3, early buyers $10 from 9-10. Kids under 12 are free as always

Finally some good news, right?

Did you ever look at Raygoth’s mouth? Wayne Barlowe is slick af😂 #VintageToyTuesday

Steve Regal called himself “Mister Electricity”, which had to be some sort of self rib because the guy made Dean Malenko seem like the Rock charisma wise😂 but hey, he got a decent push in the AWA and had an action figure, something the Von Erichs, Dusty, Magnum didn’t get until years later

If Bossk gets a day of celebration, shouldn’t IG-88 as well? I say thee yea

I guess this is the new national anthem youtu.be/PyM4uAJBujA?...

I often see people saying for kids growing up in the 80s, Optimus Prime was the dad we needed. The cartoon He-Man was the big brother we all needed. In a lot of ways he was like a Mr Rogers who occasionally punched people

#RIP to John Erwin, one of the most recognizable voices in the world to millions of us eighties kids😞

Personally, I’ve always found C3PO, who was my first childhood Star Wars figure, annoying, but he’s also a Droid so that counts pretty heavy in my book too. Plus he’s a polyglot and if you don’t know what that means, just google it. I’m expanding yer vocabulary

Kudos to Mattel for thinking outside the box and partnering with Olmec to create MotU Origins versions of the super rare Sun Man & The Rulers of the Sun line. There’s zero chance I’d ever have a Space Sumo on my steering wheel otherwise

The hula dancer on the Monster Blue Hawaaiian can is holding a shrunken head😯

You’ve discovered his secret

Dark Warrior is my pick for the neatest of Kenner’s kitbashed Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves figures. He’s sparkly and has that great winged helmet and long axe
