| 2013 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Glad to know we're not alone on this one. @Vaporman87 Yeah, talking about the "hottest babes" in school was definitely a topic during sleepovers. A lot of times we would go through the yearbook and rate the girls, but acting the encounters out with action figures is a great twist. @vkimo If only our kids could stay in the sweet, safe glow of the SNES, but alas "That Internet" comes a callin'. | Feb 17, 2015 |  | |
| 2021 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @comic_book_fan Yeah, it takes kids a while to understand the power of our words. For a short time I was jokingly telling people "I'll kill your family", then my buddy started saying it and almost got pummeled by a big guy who didn't get the joke. So "kill" was quickly dropped from our comedic repertoire. @AnEarly90sMan Glad you could relate, dude. Maybe you can share some of your memories with us in an article soon. After writing about it I showed some ProStars to my sports-obsessed son and he loved it. @vkimo Quite the metaphor there, you scholar you. | Sleepovers | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2024 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Cannon Films are so important to 80's cinema...and video stores. What would have been playing on cable and Sunday afternoon TV with out the violence filled schlock they pushed out on a regular basis? Of course Masters of The Universe is their most special release to me. Yes, they disregarded everything about the cartoon that made us love it, but it's such a fun fantasy/sci-fi hybrid and inter-dimensional dwarves stealing fried chicken makes me happy. From what I understand Cyborg was created from sets, costumes and script elements planned for the MOTU sequel that never happened. Oh and the Spider-Man movie! I get such a kick out of all the promo materials and costumes they designed for it. It would have been just one step above the 70's live action TV show, but that film would have defined my childhood for sure. Fantastic article! | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2039 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @massreality I really appreciate your perspective in the discussion, such interesting experiences. I always wondered how my friends dealt with those moves, I see how that struggle to connect without any hope of long-term friendships could be rough. On the other hand, life on base sounds pretty amazing. I wish my friends had invited me over to the movie screenings, that's a sweet deal! And those final days in the abandoned base must have been amazing. | Military Kids | Feb 22, 2015 | |
| 2056 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @echidna64 You're welcome. The Christmas Special was actually the result of a writer's strike. The 3rd season got cut short, so they threw together all those guest stars who had been asking for a chance to be on the show into that holiday madness. @Vaporman87 Yeah, his endless death scene was about the only memorable part of that movie. | Pee-wee Herman Fun Facts | Feb 27, 2015 | |
| 2058 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I think I was just way to precious about my action figures to even get close to breaking them. I do remember a few chewed MOTU figure fingers, but nothing where the whole toy came apart. The closest I got to seeing G.I. Joes break was my friend's brother who would mix and match limbs to create new mutant characters. So I guess the fact that the figures were easily dismantled was a plus to him. | Toy Annihilation | Mar 02, 2015 | |
| 2067 | Article | Hoju Koolander | As only a casual fan of The Lion King and Disney animation in general, I thought this was a pretty cool little behind the scenes look at what could have been. I appreciated the mention of the fanfic as well, it's a pretty fascinating world of fandom out there. | The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride: A History | Mar 07, 2015 | |
| 2066 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Of course you do! If your collection ever goes up on eBay I'll be the first in line to snag your Phroompf doll and those booklets at a "reasonable price". @Vaporman87 That's a good point. From my research there was a Napoleon figure in the Bill and Ted line that never actually made it to store shelves. Not that the kids were really clamoring to get a tiny dictator to re-enact historical battles with. @NLogan Leave it tour resident detective to pull this one out. I was actually going to mention that in the article, but I figured 2 paragraphs was more than enough for a toy line most of us ignored. It is hilarious though. Mattel pulled a similar stunt when they repurposed a bunch of The New Adventures of He-Man toys for the Demolition Man figures a few years later. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '91 | Mar 07, 2015 | |
| 2072 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @thecrow174 Glad to hear you enjoyed Ready to Rumble too, "Crown me, King!" There was definitely a competition on merch between Goldberg and Stone Cold during those few years, but Austin;s legacy burns brightest in retrospect. Still, I love Goldberg's catch phrase, "Who's next?!" @comic_book_fan Razor Ramon was such an iconic character. To this day, I can't pick up a toothpick without wanting to flick it in somebody's face and call them "Chico". During his Scott Hall days, my favorite bits were when he started his promos with, "Hey yo, survey time..." | Wrestling with the 90's | Mar 11, 2015 | |
| 2082 | Article | Hoju Koolander | That was pretty great and your Dad in his underwear seems like something right out any 90s kids comedy. I wouldn't be surprised if there are forums and ancient chat rooms devoted to sightings of The Dinosaur Kid. He sounds like he could fit right in with Sasquatch or El Chupacabra. So was there a sequel to this story? Did you ever run across this mythic creature again? | The Dinosaur Kid | Mar 17, 2015 | |
