| 3790 | Article | Hoju Koolander | To answer your question, I totally mailed away for my Olympic sales kit and managed one sale of Christmas cards to my friend's Mom before giving up my dreams​ of earning enough points for a rock tumbler. I also ordered some novelty pranks like Rattlesnake Eggs and the mouse trap chewing gum pack. I used to love the Things You Never Knew Existed and Can't Possibly Live Without catalog as well. During the 90s comic book boom Mile High opened a location in Anaheim, CA that was massive. I loved going through that store and even got some "Collectors Item" comics from an in store auction. | Mar 22, 2017 |  | |
| 3791 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I have always had a soft spot for oldies as well and went to a 60's superstars show at a county fair around 1989 where acts like The Monkees, Bobby "Boris" Pickett (The Monster Mash) and The Tokens ( The Lion Sleeps Tonight) among others performed, it was great. I would have loved to see all those Grandmas freaking out at your show. | Salute to the '60s | Mar 22, 2017 | |
| 3799 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @oldschool80s Sounds like a cool collector's item. I had no idea they were doing midnight screenings of new films that far back. @jkatz Yeah, I actually got the Dick Tracy NES game recently and man, is it a bummer. I like the varied gameplay and mystery concept, but all the snipers on the rooftop are ridiculous. | Antique Store Finds: Dick Tracy Memorabilia | Mar 23, 2017 | |
| 3804 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Caps 2.0 So basically you were "The Kid" from the movie and got to use Dick Tracy's name in real life? That's awesome! Maybe you should try to set-up one of your famous interviews with that child actor, Charlie Korsmo, since he was also in Hook and What About Bob? | Antique Store Finds: Dick Tracy Memorabilia | Mar 26, 2017 | |
| 3812 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Hey, good to hear from you, it's been a while. Glad to know someone else enjoyed the fun of the Hi-C promotion. I totally forgot about the character profiles. If my purchase hadn't been a one time deal to get the Hero Caps, I'm sure I would still be hanging on to those cut out cards. | 90's X-Men Food Ads | Mar 31, 2017 | |
| 3822 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I was definitely "non-partisan" when it came to Matchbox vs Hot Wheels. If it looked cool, I wanted it. Mostly I wanted any Pontiac Firebird replicas that I could use as KITT from Knight Rider. Also, when I managed a Kay-Bee Toys in he early 2000's, die cast cars were the most shoplifted items. I always found empty packages at the end of the day hidden behind other toys. | 5 Fun Matchbox Toys | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3827 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @jkatz Yeah, Kamen Rider always seemed like the Batman of that Super Sentai universe. I watched the Americanized Masked Rider show briefly and though it was goofy, I'll always love it for introducing me toy favorite "so bad it's good" movie, Tiger Heart featuring the star T.J. Roberts. @Rick Ace Rhodes I have seen a few episodes of the In Space version and thought it was a cool re-invention of the franchise, even if it seemingly falls into the "what do you do when a show runs out of ideas? Send them to space!" category. | RJ Classics: Power Rangers Memories | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3826 | Article | Hoju Koolander | So many memories connected to this stuff. I used to see the manuals and game boxes for the Marvel role playing game at the hobby shop where I would purchase my Marvel Universe trading cards. I also had that Wolverine poster and it has defined the character for me all these years. That's what we needed Hugh Jackman to be decked out in, at least for one film. My friends and I started our own comic book company in 6th grade, hoping to cash in on the 90s comic book boom, with all original characters, sadly our fledgling line never made I past the debut issues (or my friend's bedroom). Pryde of The X-Men was always a welcome sight coming after other Marvel produced cartoons like RoboCop and Dino-Riders on Sunday mornings. I have a later issue of Marvel Age that promotes a graphic novel they produced using animation stills from that pilot episode, after the series didn't get picked up. Of course no retro arcade would be complete without a double X-Men cabinet, Colossus was always my guy. | Make Mine Marvel 5 | Apr 04, 2017 | |
| 3854 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You're right. I mean Marvel still has a lot of their movie characters on Doritos, Skittles and even Kleenex boxes around the time of movie release dates, but those are movie tie-ins, not the illustrated comic book characters promoting Go-Gurt for example. You see The Avengers everywhere, but it's like movie concept art. Meanwhile the original inspirations for the live action adventures are relegated to dollar store merchandise, it's a sad state of affairs indeed. | Spider-Man Food Ads of the 90's | Apr 24, 2017 | |
| 3858 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Thanks for giving MarvelMan/MiracleMan some love. I have have the 1st printings of issues 1-6 in my collection and they are fantastic. So engaging and truly twisted take on what the Captain Marvel concept could be. I'm looking forward to Part 2 because that's where the the story really gets convoluted as far as rights ownership, with Todd Mcfarlane himself getting into the mix. | The Secret Origin of Miracleman, Pt.1! | Apr 24, 2017 | |
