3220ArticleHoju KoolanderAt my work Gift Exchange the only thing offered seems to be various bottles of booze, so I really miss the days when an action figure or Ace of Base CD could be up for grabs. This was a very fun story and the fact that you made your own Sailor Moon costumes is awesome. I used to do the same thing for my Spider-Man toys, building him armor and doing re-paints. Dec 14, 2015View
3221ArticleHoju KoolanderI can totally see this being a network Christmas special sponsored by Atari in 1981 starring Scott Baio or Michael J Fox. Such a heartwarming tale for the holidays.Perfect GameDec 14, 2015View
3222ArticleHoju KoolanderI laughed at your comparison to Cousin Eddie, that really set the scene. All my extended family lived out of state growing up so Christmas time was celebrated with just my older brother and sister's families, I would have loved a huge party like this to complain about years later;)What a Stuffy Party!

3223ArticleHoju KoolanderThe explosions and makeup parts were fun, but I am more touched that you got along with your Mom's boyfriend's daughter. I had as similar experience, where my Mom's boyfriend wasn't my favorite guy in the world, but his Grandson and I were best buds. They could take as much time for hanky-panky as they wanted as long as the two of us got to hang out. We're still in touch today and have many years of adventures to look back on.Expl-ho-ho-ho-sionDec 14, 2015View
3250ArticleHoju KoolanderConstrux were my go-to over Legos for the reason you mentioned, the ability to build your own playsets for action figures. Legos were too small and took forever to form into anything substantial, but with a few clicks of your Construx pieces around those little blue connector pieces you were set. You didn't need to whine to your parents for $50 to buy the Batcave, you could just make your own. I also use to build myself futuristic exo-skeleton armor weapons for for my forearms.Random Retro Part 1Jan 06, 2016View
3271ArticleHoju Koolander@echidna64 Thanks for giving us a listen. More retro movie fun to come this week. @vaporman87 Noah's Ark, we totally blew it. That's the perfect artifact for the next sequel. The biblical ones are always a hit. @NLogan That's awesome that you were in the middle of the Indy storm. Indiana Jones MemoriesJan 11, 2016View
3272ArticleHoju KoolanderThat's awesome that your Dad recorded your songs with you. My son is guitar obsessed and always wants me to play my original songs for him. I can only imagine he'll be penning his own tunes soon. My Favorite Christmas Gifts As A Kid in the 80s & 90sJan 12, 2016View
3273ArticleHoju KoolanderMy first CD was Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, which I still own. It was a mysterious media format to me in the mid 90's, being so devoted to listening and recording on audio cassettes.My first CD'sJan 13, 2016View
3288ArticleHoju KoolanderWhat a varied list, this was awesome. Those Playskool People are such time capsule figures, seeing as they were created to represent the "contemporary" look of everyday people from that era. I too have long been amazed by R-Rated toy lines like Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Predator and Rambo. The basic attitude of the day seemed to be, "If it looks cool, mold it in plastic for the kids". That was a great story about your Miss Elizabeth figure. My Dad was also involved in a lot of my collecting during childhood, though it was most definitely not his thing. Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 20, 2016View
3302ArticleHoju KoolanderI totally remember watching the Robocop appearance live and later on, Chucky. All I can say is that Ernest "The Cat" Miller, The Misfits, The Demon, Chris Jericho, Raven and The Flock all kept me watching during the Monday Night Wars until Arquette won the belt, but I never went back to WWE.
