Sometimes when I was a kid, when I got a new toy there often were all the other toys in the line on the box or on the backing card. They usually looked like the most amazing thing that could possibly exist but when I went to the toy store to find that specific toy …

1990. What a year it was! I don't remember too much of it as I was busy being a new born baby. But I'm sure it was fantastic. Being a new born baby, I missed out on a lot of the good shit that was on the shelves in toy shops back then. I also …

It was Christmas '95 or '96 and I was tearing the paper off a present from my great grandmother. Somewhat surprisingly I wasn't overly enthusiastic when I pulled the last bit of wrapping away and I was holding this. Obviously with hindsight I can see that I was a fucking idiot. If I could …

Modern toys rarely manage to impress me so I don't tend to buy them often, but sometimes some come across my path that are so cheap that I think 'Meh!' and I buy them anyway. I have had some experience with Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo figures before, with a Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword …
After starting to plan for my Halloween countdown that I am doing this year, I got my Mighty Max toys out again. Every time I get 'em out, I realise that being a grown man, how far from being an adult I really I am. I sat for entirely too long playing with Mighty Max …

Due to a variety of reasons (most of them boring) it has been a while since I last did a blog post. So I am going to do my best to rectify that now. I am guessing it would have been around 1999 and I had gone over to a friends house (we had been …
Not very long ago and not terribly far away, Star Wars wasn't the massive iconic juggernaut that it is today. You can visit any toy shop in this day and age and you'll probably find Star Wars toys somewhere on the shelves, even for upcoming Star Wars movies that aren't due out for months. But …

My memory is pretty darn good regarding unimportant stuff from back when I was a kid. But I don't remember if I saw the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV show before or after I owned these toys . I probably did watch the show first. I remember watching the show with my cousin, but I …
