April 29th, 2019The toys of the 80's were all over the dang map, thus we have Manic Monday where we relive some of our childhood. If you recall the cartoon that came in between Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, you know all about The Real Ghostbusters. Remember the toys though?
There's a heap-ton of commercials that we used to enjoy as kids and heck, we...
March 25th, 2019We've all had our share of action figures, dolls and toys based on our favorites when we were growing up, right? Heck, even if we didn't - we played a lot of pretend. Alright, so let's pretend these Marvel toys were part of our collections.
I've had my hand in a lot of Superhero toys, especially Marvel with the X-Men, Avengers and such...
January 28th, 2019Now, I know a lot of us know who the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are, but back in the early 90's, we were brand new to it! Saban Entertainment had already had success with the show overseas and with some clever dubbing and only a few filmed scenes here in North America, they could get kids hype! Oh, and the toys they'd sell...
Mighty...
November 26th, 2018There's something so pure about the cartoons we grew up with. Sure, they were made to get us hype so our parents would get us the toys based on them, but still! When it comes to innovative fun toys based on cartoon series, well, Transformers won out.
Back in the 80's, there was no shortage of toys based on cartoon series that we...
November 12th, 2018When we were all kids (and maybe some of us now), we always had to build our dream comic book LEGO sets from scratch. They were always 'good enough' but not quite the real deal, you know? Well, until LEGO gave us all these rad Marvel Iron Man sets to build!
I found some awesome videos of people building these answers to the dream of...
October 29th, 2018When I was a kid, I remember every single cartoon on TV after school had Jurassic Park toy commercials. The ones that touted 'DINO DAMAGE!' and to look for the 'JP Mark' on their legs. Don't remember them? I got you!
Now that you've had a refresher course, those were just the dinosaur toys that you could set up with the characters...
June 11th, 2018If someone said "Name the most terrible yet awesome movie you watched as a kid," what would you say? I bet you could name a few! Let's revisit some of the weirdly cringey films that we grew up with and, with no shame, still kinda enjoy today.
Now, there's tons of movies out there – so if we don't mention your favorite, just let us...
May 21st, 2018There are heaps and heaps of memorable cartoons that we woke up with every Saturday morning! What about those one-off series that we remember watching but managed to bury underneath all of the Thundercats, He-Mans, Scooby-Doos and the like? Well, lets get into where my memories lead me to and see if you have any memories of them...
I...
