| 1303 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just... wow. I LOVE this story. This is something special. I can't even come close to providing a similar moment in my own life, at least not as far as sharing a moment with a superstar. KIDS, Incorporated was a show that I caught on an on-and-off basis. There would be times that I would be flipping through channels and catch the show, watch it to it's conclusion, and mostly forget about it. I was not one of those kids who ever thought I would be anybody famous or working with anybody famous. Only my dad can say that in my family. He spent some time at a dinner with Ric Flair once, and once met Johnny Bench I believe. I... didn't LOL. I suppose if I were to pick an accomplishment in life that might have produced a similar feeling, it would be the work I did for the Masters of the Universe comic book. To actually be able to contribute even the smallest, goofiest thing for a property I grew up loving so much, was really special... even if Mattel said I had to go after 3 issues. LOL. I think those weeks/months I did that work, I felt like I was doing something pretty cool that transcended my otherwise quiet and unassuming life. Wonderful story Hoju. | Sep 23, 2014 |  | |
| 1314 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan - Yeah, I spent a few years at the He-Man.org website contributing mostly in the Fan Art Forum. Then one day the site Admin, Val Staples, asked me if I wanted to put the silly He-Man comic strip I and Devin "Goatman" Duchscherer had been posting into the newest iteration of the comic (which was, at the time, The Rise of The Snakemen series). Naturally I went totally bonkers and was like "YES YES YES YES YES!" We did four strips, with three of them getting published before Mattel told Val that the strip had to go because they didn't like how their characters were being treated in the strips (as buffoonish, egotistical, lazy, confrontational, etc.). It was fun while it lasted. | KIDS, Incorporated: Dreams Come True | Sep 23, 2014 | |
| 1320 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man. Just look at that section of Masters of the Universe stuff. If only I could ACTUALLY go back in time and just buy every bit of it. So much coolness. So much money. :) This was a fun adventure Hoj... I mean, Dr. Timewarp. Thank you for taking us on it. Now if I can just figure out where that Man-E-Faces costume is these days, and have the person who owns it sell it to me. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1324 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's okay. We like weird as long as it's a cool weird. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1337 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeesh. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the nude haunted house. That just sounds like a whole lotta trouble waiting to happen. I WOULD love to see Knott's Scary Farm one year. Seems like such a cool place to visit for the season. | A Haunting Experience | Sep 26, 2014 | |
| 1346 | Article | Vaporman87 | In answer to that question, it could be worse. Stinkor. Great article! I myself enjoyed the Slime Pit, but aside from that I played very little with slime related toys. I think the down sides that you described here were all it took to make me NOT a slime fan. Silly Putty on the other hand... | Slime Time! | Sep 30, 2014 | |
| 1348 | Article | Vaporman87 | @pikachulover: Somehow I am seeing that mixture of water and Playdoh as coming out looking like the dinner served in Better Off Dead... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/heP3s725hSA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> | Slime Time! | Sep 30, 2014 | |
| 1350 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can recall the hours upon hours I spent collecting the images for the VHS Covers section of the site from VHS Wasteland (with the owner's permission, mind you) and having to sort out the really gruesome images from those that could safely be viewed here. I purposefully left out the horror section because they were just so horrific, some of them. That is a testament to the effectiveness of the VHS cover. As you said, you had only a few ways to attract a customer outside of giant ad campaigns and being viewed on thousands of movie screens. The thing is, after so many times renting that eye-catching film with the great VHS cover and being sorely disappointed with the actual film, you start to catch on. But apparently that didn't stop others from making the same mistake, because the market was FLOODED with cheap direct to video movies for SO LONG! But I really feel like the VHS cover was an art form unto itself. A really great cover could be all the difference between losing your hat or scoring big. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1353 | Article | Vaporman87 | Your right. The wrap around style is sweet. Not something you saw an awful lot of back in the day. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1355 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's cool jkatz. I usually leave enough there so that it's obvious what the author wrote, but also keep it friendly to those who don't care for it. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
