| 3812 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Hey, good to hear from you, it's been a while. Glad to know someone else enjoyed the fun of the Hi-C promotion. I totally forgot about the character profiles. If my purchase hadn't been a one time deal to get the Hero Caps, I'm sure I would still be hanging on to those cut out cards. | Mar 31, 2017 |  | |
| 3822 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I was definitely "non-partisan" when it came to Matchbox vs Hot Wheels. If it looked cool, I wanted it. Mostly I wanted any Pontiac Firebird replicas that I could use as KITT from Knight Rider. Also, when I managed a Kay-Bee Toys in he early 2000's, die cast cars were the most shoplifted items. I always found empty packages at the end of the day hidden behind other toys. | 5 Fun Matchbox Toys | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3827 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @jkatz Yeah, Kamen Rider always seemed like the Batman of that Super Sentai universe. I watched the Americanized Masked Rider show briefly and though it was goofy, I'll always love it for introducing me toy favorite "so bad it's good" movie, Tiger Heart featuring the star T.J. Roberts. @Rick Ace Rhodes I have seen a few episodes of the In Space version and thought it was a cool re-invention of the franchise, even if it seemingly falls into the "what do you do when a show runs out of ideas? Send them to space!" category. | RJ Classics: Power Rangers Memories | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3826 | Article | Hoju Koolander | So many memories connected to this stuff. I used to see the manuals and game boxes for the Marvel role playing game at the hobby shop where I would purchase my Marvel Universe trading cards. I also had that Wolverine poster and it has defined the character for me all these years. That's what we needed Hugh Jackman to be decked out in, at least for one film. My friends and I started our own comic book company in 6th grade, hoping to cash in on the 90s comic book boom, with all original characters, sadly our fledgling line never made I past the debut issues (or my friend's bedroom). Pryde of The X-Men was always a welcome sight coming after other Marvel produced cartoons like RoboCop and Dino-Riders on Sunday mornings. I have a later issue of Marvel Age that promotes a graphic novel they produced using animation stills from that pilot episode, after the series didn't get picked up. Of course no retro arcade would be complete without a double X-Men cabinet, Colossus was always my guy. | Make Mine Marvel 5 | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3854 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You're right. I mean Marvel still has a lot of their movie characters on Doritos, Skittles and even Kleenex boxes around the time of movie release dates, but those are movie tie-ins, not the illustrated comic book characters promoting Go-Gurt for example. You see The Avengers everywhere, but it's like movie concept art. Meanwhile the original inspirations for the live action adventures are relegated to dollar store merchandise, it's a sad state of affairs indeed. | Spider-Man Food Ads of the 90's | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3858 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Thanks for giving MarvelMan/MiracleMan some love. I have have the 1st printings of issues 1-6 in my collection and they are fantastic. So engaging and truly twisted take on what the Captain Marvel concept could be. I'm looking forward to Part 2 because that's where the the story really gets convoluted as far as rights ownership, with Todd Mcfarlane himself getting into the mix. | The Secret Origin of Miracleman, Pt.1! | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3859 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I didn't own any He-Man toys until the 3rd or 4th wave with characters like Rokkon, Spikor and Mantenna. But I had a light up He-Man power sword at one point for my role play fun. Alot of the older kids I knew had these original figures and vehicles, so I did play with them. Buzz-Off's helmet always seemed redundant to me because it had extra Bug Eyes on it, which really bothered me. | Catalog Pages: Masters of the Universe from 1985 | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3860 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Funny story, last year a boxed SEGA Pico system was shipped to me unannounced. I sent the word out on social media, asking for the sender to reveal themselves, but got no response. So I totally set it up for my kids with that Richard Scary game and they were having a great time. A few days later I got an email from an eBay seller from whom I had won an auction, saying he accidentally shipped the Pico to me and needed it returned. Ah well, it was a fun 48 hours. | 1990s Edutainment | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3861 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 See in my case the warnings were all nonsense, but you guys apparently had access to the stuff. That's crazy! @mickyarber It's like I've always said, Virginia is the California of the East! OK, maybe I've never actually said that, but VA and CA share a letter! | Retro Culture of Fear | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3866 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Yes, more of these Wizard excerpts please. I definitely tuned into MANTIS as well. It was a very cool premise, though it was always just a countdown to when/how his suit would give out. The image selected for the Swamp Thing blurb is from The Return of Swamp Thing movie (which is mega fun) not the TV show (Which didn't​ have the same wacky spirit). I saw Mask of the Phantasm in theaters, it was just an extra long episode, nothing great. Rob Leifeld was always claiming he had a movie based on one of his creations coming out, that never happened. I remember Badrock and Prophet starring Tom Cruise specifically. And yes, Vaporman87 is right, I LOVE The Shadow. Alec Baldwin and his supporting cast have such great banter in a beautiful 1930s throwback setting. Just go in expecting more humor than gritty action and you will be entertained, though it has some cool special effects scenes. | Andy Mangels Hollywood Heroes From May 1993 | Apr 24, 2017 | |
