| 3616 | Article | NLogan | @Vapor the aluminium was thin and flexible. I suppose it would be possible to cut oneself if you got the right angle but I don't remember it ever being a problem. @Vkimo chocolate for the win! @sock thanks! I didn't know they re-released it. | Dec 20, 2016 |  | |
| 3639 | Article | NLogan | Yeah that is a Monkian augmenting my brother's forces with his Cyclops. I had Lion-O assisting my side of the battle with a Minotaur. | NLogan's Christmas at Grandma's House | Dec 28, 2016 | |
| 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. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | 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 | |
| 3676 | Article | NLogan | I can still hear the music from Marble Madness looking at the levels, and feel the frustration. That game was murder hard. | Failed 90's Video Game Console Wars | Jan 11, 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. I also had a Marvin the Martian ball-cap. <img src="/images/postImages/1484176697spacejam.jpg" height="377" width="251"> | Bugs Bunny 50th Anniversary Magazine | Jan 11, 2017 | |
| 3681 | Article | NLogan | Thanks Old School! I am much like you and also liked most of the things you mentioned. This article is part of a 6 part series. In the sixth part I get around to the non-marvel stuff. | Make Mine Marvel 1 | Jan 13, 2017 | |

| 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 | |
