A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
The other day I showed you the Robocop action figure by Neca, and last night I snapped a few photos of another awesome action figure by Neca Toys — “Jungle Patrol Dutch” — from the 80′s classic, Predator. Such a great figure! Here’s Dutch stalking the alien in the early morning hours… or is he?!? Here’s [...]
It’s been a while since I took some action figure photos, so I hit the toy store the other day to see what I could find. Check out this awesome Robocop figure by Neca. That is the spitting image of Peter Weller! And here’s the full body profile. I love those pistons on the back [...]
I’ve recently received a bunch of great items from fellow collectors, but have neglected giving them the proper thanks here on the site. To be honest, I had every intention to put up individual thank you’s, but once I fell behind, they kind of snowballed and the only way I can clear the plate is [...]
I think EVERY neighborhood in northern Virginia was having a community yard sale this past weekend. I had to rush through our neighborhood, and then hit a local comic book shop for Free Comic Book Day on our way to an overnight camping trip. It was exhausting but fun, and here are the treasures I [...]
FedEx delivered this huge box of goodies yesterday, straight from my pal, John (AKA jboypacman), at the Revenge from the Cosmic Ark. We worked out another trade and I’m pretty sure we both got what we wanted, which is always the goal of a good trade! This Pac-Man tabletop arcade game from Coleco was the [...]
I do love a good toy collection video… WARNING! This collection will make you feel very inadequate — to give you an idea of the caliber of this collection, there’s a rocket-firing Boba Fett prototype! These videos show the personal collection of Clive Collier, the man behind Retro Toy Revivals, which sells repro boxes and toys. [...]
Dear lord, look at this… If your eyeballs aren’t burnt to a crisp in their sockets, then you need to check out the rest of the the “Righteous Rides…And the Dudes Who Drive Them” show premiering at Hero Complex Gallery on Friday, May 3 in Los Angeles. This Skeletor and Panthor print by Brian Carbaugh [...]
“This is the most wonderful time of the year…” That’s right, yard sale season is upon us here in the mid-Atlantic region. This past Saturday was a slow start, but there was one neighborhood sale not too far away, where I was able to scrounge up a few fun items… This is what I got [...]
Blacksparrow Auctions has put together an amazing selection of pop culture items for their Vintage Toys & Pop Culture Auction, which will be held at this weekend’s Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2). There is plenty to love in the catalog, but as a collector of vintage Hulk toys and frame tray puzzles, my mind [...]
The yard sale season is just about here and I need to clear some shelves. Until Sunday 4/28 just about everything in my store has been reduced to HALF PRICE! There are some great G.I. Joe and Star Wars figures, super hero toys, and even Mumm-Ra’s Tomb, so get over there now, before the shelves are [...]
