A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
I had another busy weekend filled with kids’ birthday parties and family gatherings, so I visited the Big Flea early on Saturday morning. I usually roll in on Sunday afternoon, but while the crowds were heavy on Saturday, the good stuff was also easier to find. I would pay the admission price just to visit [...]
This awesome Friday the 13th poster will be available from Mondo at a random time tomorrow. I’ve been a fan of Francesco Francavilla’s pulp noir style for a while, and hopefully, this poster will find its way onto my wall. It takes a skilled hand to capture an entire film with a single image–many try, but [...]
When the poster tube from Hero Complex Gallery arrived yesterday, it didn’t take me long to tear it open and unveil this beauty… This poster by Laurent Durieux was offered at the Hero Complex Gallery’s recent Weapon of Choice show in Los Angeles. I had my sights on this poster from the second they teased [...]
Last month, @Signalnoise sent out a tweet that he had a few of his posters available in his shop and I immediately pounced on this Drive print. That pink just could not get any hotter! I went through a bit of Mondo burnout last year after their designs got a bit stale (they’ve been on [...]

I have saved the best for last as we near the end of KONGTOBER. Here we have a vintage Mexican lobby card used to promote the re-release of the original 1933 King Kong movie. This lobby card is from the 60′s and is absolutely stunning. The colors are so rich it looks like it was [...]

Today’s post for KONGTOBER features one of my absolute treasures. This is a huge Italian movie poster from the 60′s that shows King Kong swatting down biplanes while towering over Fay Wray (who appears to have passed out). The size ratio on this image is all kinds of wonky, but I’m sure that’s because they [...]
I know I’m going to regret this but here goes… Another batch of Mondo posters is up for sale in my store. The last time I did this, the posters sold out in minutes, much like a regular Mondo drop, so get ‘em while you can! The Wolfman glow-in-the-dark variant print by Martin Ansin is [...]
