| 3644 | Article | NLogan | Somehow M.A.S.K. was one of the only properties in the 80s that I wasn't fully immersed in. The only possible explanation is that some other show that I was more interested in was on in the same time slot. I was aware of it and may have even watched a few episodes, but only dimly remember it. As for the toy line I had 1.5 pieces. I remember looking at the toys in the toy aisle but never purchased or asked for any. I had a Hocus Pocus yellow little man with a small mask that I found on the playground once. Because he was tiny compared with my He-Man, Star Wars, and GI*JOE figures he was rarely played with. As an adult I bought an Indiana Jones Lost Temple of Akator playset for my sons. Wanting, hoping for the new film to be as good as the originals and getting some Indy figures for my boys where I as a child missed out on the Kenner figures and had none. I am not sure how or where I became aware that it was in fact the Kenner M.A.S.K. Boulder Hill playset re-purposed by Hasbro who would also use it again for their Star Wars property as a Mustafar final battle playset on the lava world of the prequels. The thing that resonates, I suppose, with me about this article is the feeling of wanting, hoping. That while in the present they are strip mining our childhood cartoons and toy lines for current marketable properties, that they stay faithful, close to the originals. There is always a spark of nostalgia when I see something I am familiar with come up again, a feeling of dread when I know they will probably mess it up by not coming close to the originals, and the let down and disappointment of being proven right as beloved characters are drastically changed. | Dec 31, 2016 |  | |
| 3674 | Article | NLogan | I love me some metal lunchbox goodness. I have Universal Monsters, Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon's Lair, and Peanuts. My brother has Secret of Nimh and a few others. There is an Imperial Mummy figure in the pictures with the Dick Tracy stuff. My antique stores around here never get cool stuff like that. | Antique Store Finds Part 1 | Jan 07, 2017 | |

| 3679 | Article | NLogan | In 1998 I had a black Space Jam long sleeved shirt. It had the Tune Squad on it with Bugs,Wile E. Coyote, and the Tazmanian Devil with Space Jam written on the sleeves.

| 3706 | Article | NLogan | I wore TC surf designs shirts and played the NES game. I ruled the skateboarding part but totally sucked on the surfing, hitting the pier time after time and getting dive-bombed by the seagulls. My favorites were the NES huddle, the jean jacket I also had a few in my day, and that awesome smilodon sabertoothed tiger party decoration. | Hoju's 7th Birthday Party: 1989 | Jan 29, 2017 | |

| 3785 | Article | NLogan | I would have loved reading some Sgt. Rock and Unknown Soldier with you under the carport as a kid growing up my friend. I found some of my old books in a milk crate in my uncle's garage and begged him for them. | The Beginning of My Comic Fandom | Mar 21, 2017 | |
