862ArticleThe Trash ManChildren's Palace was owned and operated by Child World, which was a chain of toy stores that was founded in Avon, MA. Right around the corner from where I grew up [and still currently live]. My friend and I were reminiscing about our local Child World just the other day while we were at the mall it used to be part of. Their panda bear mascot meant more to my childhood than any Geoffrey the Giraffe ever could. Nov 18, 2013View
895ArticleThe Trash ManEven without the birthday wishes [thank you, Miss M..!], I would've loved this post a million times. Gremlins 2 is one of my absolute favorite movies and I have such fond memories of opening pack after pack of the trading cards, too! A truly wonderful look at a fantastically absurd film. Plus, shout-outs to Christopher Lee, John Glover and the late, great Robert Prosky? The only thing missing is some Murray Futterman [Dick Miller FTW] love. Great post!Trading After MidnightDec 10, 2013View
956ArticleThe Trash ManStinkor's aroma is heavenly. Second only to the smell of old books [and comics]. Actually, I loved the pine scent of Moss-Man, too. I remember ordering the Classics' version for my friend for Christmas last year and, just, inhaling deeply when I opened the box he arrived in. Even through the white Mattel mailer, I was overwhelmed by how strong the smell was, and how it instantly transported me back to being a kid and picking out the original MOTU Moss-Man from the toy store.The Fear of ToysJan 24, 2014View
992ArticleThe Trash ManGodzilla-themed Valentine's do exist. I remember stumbling upon a box of them at a dollar-store back when I lived in L.A [this was, uh, 2005/2006?]. I have no idea what happened to them, but there was also a sheet of stickers included that I used to "decorate" my name-badge at work. Moth-ah-raaaa..!For the Love of V-Day! Part 2Feb 10, 2014View

1599ArticleSockofFleagullsGreat story. Can't remember how old I was when I found presents in my parent's closet (mid 80s), but I do recall finding something G.I. Joe related. Never told them about it either. No recollection of Spinjas!1990 - The Year Santa DiedDec 10, 2014View
1665ArticleSockofFleagullsI got my first mini boombox a little later in the decade, but I remember trying to record songs off the radio and when high speed dubbing was THE feature to have on your boombox or stereo. Thanks for the memories!My Christmas 1982Dec 16, 2014View
3543ArticleSockofFleagullsStar Wars Episode 4 was one of the first movies my family ever rented on VHS. In fact, it was sometime in the mid 80s when we had to rent the VCR too! It was for a birthday sleepover if I remember right and I'll never forgot how enamored I was watching this outer space story. Star Wars: The Past AwakensDec 08, 2016View
