| 3721 | Article | Hoju Koolander | This "Giant" rule is odd since in recent years they award the with winner with an Andre The Giant memo/rial trophy for another Royal Rumble style event don't they? And I think Big Show won this rumble style event during the last 5 years didn't he? | Feb 06, 2017 |  | |

| 260 | Video | Vaporman87 | This animation style seems to be a passing fad, with the squared off features and such. For a while, it seemed like EVERY new cartoon had this style of animation. From "Clerks" to "Samarai Jack" to "Fairly Odd Parents" and on and on. | The Powerpuff Girls: Crime 101 | Feb 05, 2013 | |
| 4288 | Article | jkatz | This article brought back memories of the martial arts classes that I took from the 6th to the 10th grade. My instructor had stacks and stacks of these magazines, as well as other cool magazines like Wizard and Heavy Metal. He had all the equipment mentioned here too..it wouldn't surprise me if this is where he ordered it from! I sure would like to see that Ninja movie advertised in the offer, but with such a generic title and no listed director, tracking it down will be tricky. I did find Douglas Ivan on IMDB though. I think. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0411930/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 | Retro Magazine RoundUp: Black Belt | Feb 14, 2018 | |
| 3183 | Article | Shaddam Corrino IV | This article has me nostalgic for the '90's and all of the toys from movies that were made, and also wishing that there were toys based on the new movies like <i>Avengers: Age Of Ultron</i> (all that we got from that movie-well, I got- were the Hot Wheels cars), <i>The Martian</i>, <i>Jurassic World</i>, <i>Mad Max: Fury Road</i>, <i>Ant-Man</i>, and a few others. At least we have toys based on <i>Star Wars: The Force Unleashed</i>, but I would've loved to see a set of toys from <i>The Martian</i> (The Lander, The Hab, action figures of Mark Watney and the rest of the crew of the <i>Ares</i>.) Where are they? @Vaporman87: There were bad-guy (and gal) figures from Batman-The Animated Series (Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Clayface, the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Bane, and Mr. Freeze), as well as ones of the Creeper and several others. I'd love to see a new set of Shadow action figures as well. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 1994 | Article | Hoju Koolander | This article has taken me so long to process, such great memories. Glad I got on the Retrojunk Train during the Golden era, it was such a fun and sometimes awkward community to be a part of. I had never been "involved" in the Internet before, but supportive folks like vkimo, Cosgrove and good old' Caps 2.0 made me want to stick around. Even Dalmationlover, who irritated me in the best way possible, he was like my annoying online kid brother. I even had my one and only online dating experience, flirting and private messaging for months with one of the scarce women you spoke about in the article, which resulted in one crazy date that went like this: roller derby, Greek food and a midnight screening of A Clockwork Orange. Gee, I wonder why it didn't go anywhere? ;) But in the end it was just great to share my memories with people that could relate and appreciate my useless knowledge. I'm glad I've had the chance to reconnect with so many of you here and that vkimo's black magic ability to attract unheard of attention to his articles remains in tact. Is it goat's blood or eye of newt that does the trick? | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 13, 2015 | |
| 5321 | Article | Vaporman87 | This article is a perfect introduction to the Fall season and does a great job of summing up the anticipation and enjoyment that comes with it. Thanks Ben! | The prelude to Autumn | Nov 08, 2020 | |
| 3173 | Article | DirtyD79 | This article is great. I got those poppers for years on 4th of July as a kid and for some reason never thought to do that. | Expl-ho-ho-ho-sion | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 2391 | Article | onipar | This article is pure awesome. So many great pictures. Halloween is near and dear to my heart as well. Great work! | NLogan's Retro Halloween Overload | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 1511 | Article | Vaporman87 | This article is right in my wheelhouse! Around the mid to late 80's, I got my first video camera. This camera, however, was not the standard VHS camcorders we are all familiar with. The first camera I got was the infamous Fisher Price PXL 2000. <img src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.retrothing.com/retrothing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/17/xpxl_prod_shot.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tZxlCWyvc1.jpg"> The camera that now has a cult following <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL-2000">cult following</a>. I mostly used it to record dumb things like my hamster pooping on our kitchen table and such. In fact, I still have some of the cassette tapes with the video on them. However, I lost/sold??? my PXL 2000 years ago, and have no way of viewing any video that may still be on them. If I am to buy another PXL 2000, it's going to be costly (as they fetch $200 to $500 on Ebay). Later on, I got a REAL camera for Christmas... and the rest is history. We made movies like they were going out of style. Most of them were just dreadful and stupid. There were the occasional "above mediocre" films that we did. One of them I have uploaded to the site... <a href="http://retro-daze.org/site/video/id/96">The Lost Few</a>. That particular version of the movie is a remastered one. The original cut was so bad! Watch the remastered version, then try to imagine how it could be so much worse. Then try to come to the realization that it is. LOL We would mostly film silly comedy stuff. Filming something serious would require a budget and effects unless it was a drama, and since we hated dramas, we rarely made anything outside of comedy stuff. I have whole collections of VHS tapes with our videos. I've put some of them to DVD for the sake of preserving them, while adding a few touches to help improve some of them (with better audio quality or some better editing and such. We would probably agree (we, as in me and about 2 or 3 of my friends) that our signature characters were LongBlade and Dark Wrath (from The Lost Few). But we did do some funny characters like Perv Deathwave or the brothers from the Day Series (a series of shorts where I and my brother fight to the death with weapons that are harmless, yet somehow cause us as much pain as real weapons, lol). I could go on and on and on about this. And I probably will in the days ahead. ;) Now, time to go watch the Rakeman series. :) | Making Movies on VHS | Nov 17, 2014 | |
