Face Off – Do They Listen to the Judges?
I realized I hadn’t written anything about this season’s Face Off yet. I know it’s almost over. I know there are only 4 people left. I know there is one that seems capable of winning it more than the others. But, if you’re reading this, you must have some interest. I can tell you this, […]

Name That…Jeanie
In addition to “Price is Right”, one of my favorite shows to watch when I was sick as a kid was “I Dream of Jeanie”.
Name That…Faux Paneling
Everybody back in the day had a faux paneling rec room in the basement. (It is not GI Joe.)
Batman (Mego Pocket Heroes)
The Mego Pocket Heroes lines is one of those things in action figure history that you have to wonder about. It mixed DC and Marvel characters in the same 3.75″ scale.

Name That…Frankenbroc
I’m not a broccoli fan. Broccoli raised from the dead? Not a fan of that either.
AWE Striker
The AWE Striker has been around for a long time. Since 1985 in fact. It’s been repainted several times and is somewhat of a staple of the line. That said, I’ve never owned one until I saw this one at a good price. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The backdrop folds […]
Name That…Chemistry Set
With all of the other science things out there, you don’t see chemistry sets like you used to.
Lego Minifigure Display
I recently realized I didn’t have a cool way to display my Lego Minifigures. So, I asked my Dad if he could help out. He does some woodworking and has his own website, Woodbitz.com. His main focus is display and storage racks for bottles and such. (I’m sure there’s some customizers out there that […]
