Go-Go Godzilla!

After Saturday's post about some of our fave blogs, Jon K from Dracula's Crypt of Collectibles clued me in to one of its sibling blogs, Go-Go Godzilla! As a fan of the Kaiju I couldn't pass it up! Here's links to all of Jon's genre related sites!

Reporting for Duty!

The Doc is a man after my own heart...but so far I've managed to fend off most of his agents! The Nega Claus will have all the toys! Sorry to all the girls and boys....

Let them eat cake! Just not these....

If you've not been to Cake Wrecks, it's a wonderful way to spend time on the interwebs. Some of them are laughable, but the Sunday sweets are amazing. Oh the things people can do to and with cakes!

Blackstar! Thundarr! He-man!

Thundarr was one of my favorite shows of all times. I even recall that Janus(?) was the only villain to appear on more than one episode. I think this was more of an attempt to cash in on Conan the Barbarian and Beastmaster type movies more than He-Man. I also think this was before the end of the restriction on cartoons having related merchandise.



So, no toys...maybe a lunch box, those were still common even before He-man.
He-man was the first cartoon to cash-in on the allowed toy tie-ins in the '80s. The toys pre-existed the cartoon by a bit. If you ever owned any of the first few (Battlecat was my first) the little comic inside told a completely different story from what was the Saturday morning cartoon. The DC mini-series developed the cartoon plot a lot.



Here's another trip down memory lane! I had a few of these figures, the 'good guys' came with a little Trobbit figure (troll+hobbit?) and the bad guys came with a little gremlin looking guy. I even had the dragon that Blackstar used, probably the best toy in the series. Blackstar was one of the more obvious He-man rip-offs, mainly for the two-halves of a power sword plot in there.

Blogs we "read" Part one....

I love blogs. They're a great source of camp and pop info and pics. Two of my faves have similar tastes it seems:

Dracula's Crypt of Collectibles features, of course, collectible Drac swag.



Frankensteinia is a plethora of Frankenstein nostalgia from the past nearly 200 years....

My personal favorite variation on the Frankenstein myth is probably also the campiest:Frankenstein meets the Space Monster!


You can watch the film here for MAXIMUM ENERGY!


And it's thanks to Monster Crazy that I found both. Monster Crazy is a portal for all sorts of creatures from various media sources and around the interwebs..

Metaluna Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Found this today on TMA Toy News and Reviews. I so want a Metaluna Ninja turtle, the rest are ridiculous though....

(The pic is from Geekologie though)

I so had these....

And would love to have them again!

Finally, a Sex and the City I want to watch...

I'm cool....like snakes!

Japanese Spiderman!

Part of a deal with a Japanese production company (Toei, the same company that produced Kamen Rider) from the '70s. The deal also involved the importation of the Avengers, which became Battle Fever J, the first Sentai series to be referred to as 'Super Sentai'. Basically the Avengers became the Power Rangers.
