| 1862 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Most people run into those types of "Modeling Schools" at malls from what I hear. It's so weird that the school sanctioned such an obvious cash-grab. Do you remember those TV ads that ran on daytime TV for the Barbizon School of Modeling way back when? They usually came on right after a commercial for Survival auto insurance with the guys playing poker, "Are you insured?" "Yes." "By Survival?" "No." "I can't take that bet." So cheesy, cracks me up. | Jan 30, 2015 |  | |
| 1865 | Article | pikachulover | Of course I remember the modeling school ads and the insurance ones they would show them during Punky Brewster all the time. "Call Survival now!" | Model Student | Jan 30, 2015 | |
| 1999 | Article | MissM | That is crazy! I can't believe your school had a connection with that lady and the modeling school. That is some experience you went through. I liked how you also mentioned the Sailor Moon episode because while reading about your experience I kept thinking, this sounds like it could turn into a Sailor Moon episode or something. | Model Student | Feb 16, 2015 | |
| 172 | Video | Vaporman87 | I still have at least 15 of the 10" Trendmasters figures STILL SEALED IN THE BOX. They weren't the most realistic looking Godzilla figures, but they were American made, something you won't see today (Bandai America is still owned by Bandai Japan). There were plans to release a line called Godzilla Doom Island, and some figures were produced for this line, but none made it onto store shelves. Before Trendmasters closed their doors, they liquidated their inventory online, and many Doom Island figures were sold in that liquidation to fans of the toy line. I got my hands on several, and some lucky dude won a prototype 10" Destroyah. Overseas, a small number of 10" Biollantes were sold. To find and purchase one now would cost you a small fortune. | Godzilla Wars Figures - 1996 | Jan 21, 2013 | |
| 1858 | Article | echidna64 | I had a similar experience when my parents bought the movie Excalibur for me because I was into medieval times and mythology, BOY was I surprised after the first ten minutes of the movie! | Movie Misunderstandings | Jan 30, 2015 | |
| 1857 | Article | Vaporman87 | If there is one useless thing about my memory, it is that I am almost always right about my recollections of movies, or of certain aspects of them. But not 100% of the time. LOL. For the longest time... and I mean THE LONGEST TIME... I could not, for the life of me, remember what film I had heard the saying, "The quarterback IS toast!" That aggravated me for years. YEARS! I tried attributing it to all sorts of movies, most of them naturally being sports related. But it had nothing at all to do with sports, unless you consider terrorism a sport. The phrase came from the movie "Die Hard", and it was said by a less than memorable character played by Clarence Gilyard Jr. (of Matlock and Walker, Texas Ranger fame). Probably the last movie, and the last movie character I would have ever guessed the phrase came from. LOL. | Movie Misunderstandings | Jan 30, 2015 | |
| 1863 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Fun topic. "Team Wolf" is pretty much the best thing ever, especially because it was your Mom's mislabeling that perpetuated the error. Makes me chuckle in a big way. | Movie Misunderstandings | Jan 30, 2015 | |
| 1864 | Article | fuschnikt | @Vaporman - The moment I read that quote I was fully struggling to figure it out. I scanned my brain, and you are totally right, I went from sports movie to sports movie. The moment of the reveal it was like, "of course! Die Hard!" Seems so obvious now. I can even visualize the moment. @echidna64- That sounds about right. I have still never seen the movie, but I've seen clips and photos. I cannot even imagine what my parents thought while they previewed it. I should probably watch it sometime. Maybe I can pretend it's He-Man. @Hoju Koolander- Yup. Classic mom stuff. At least my mom. | Movie Misunderstandings | Jan 30, 2015 | |
| 1867 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would say I had a pretty extensive collection of all of these items. But, every time I would become bored with any of them, they would be placed in a drawer somewhere and eventually disappear altogether. Even so, I can still feel my hand rubbing a pencil across that molded plastic, and smell the vinyl stickers of the Colorforms. The thing I hated was when the Colorforms had characters in colors that were nowhere near correct (like Rhino in the picture you provided above). Seriously? Was it THAT much more expensive to make him gray? I also attempted to manufacture my own "stencils" for use with the "monster maker" style toys. They never turned out any good though. Still, it was fun to try anyway! | Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers | Jan 31, 2015 | |
