Hard not to point out how bad Wonder Woman is, but as a kid I didn't buy "girl" toys so I never had one, but I remember laughing at one a friend had. It looked like Wonder Woman as played by Lee Majors. To me it looks more like Geronimo in a swimsuit. The pose on those things was so limit...

One of the very few Spider-Man items I did have, because it was so appropriate. Unlike, say, a Spidey utility belt...or a Hulk helicopter!

Wonder if that Batman version has the only merch box art to feature an Ernie Chan illustration?

Cool radio, but here's the real test: Can you power it with coconuts?

It didn't help that Kilmer looked at least 10 years younger than Keaton, so he and O'Donnell seemed more like drinking buddies than guardian/ward. I liked Val in the role and the lighter tone was welcome after "Returns." I was less enamored of Carrey, who was never my bag, and I wasn't cra...

The "Comic Book Plus" site has 19 issues of Batmania (which may be the entire run) available to read or download: https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=746 They also have lots of other fanzines as well as Golden Age comics that have fallen into the public domain (nothing DC or Timely, but lots of...

I would love to have a Force Field Generator in 1/6th scale.

Indeed, that should be just about the right size to repel the squirrels from my bird feeder. Sweet...

It's possible -- maybe even likely -- that my brother filled the tub with the express intent of putting in GI Joe, as opposed to making it a "bath time" distraction. In fairness to him, Hasbro marketed a one-man submarine specifically designed to work in the tub, but his problem was that h...

I guess I had an early version since I remember the "tin fin." Amazingly I had the good sense not to actually put the boat into the bathtub (unlike my brother, who dipped his "talking GI Joe" in the tub for an aquatic adventure, after which Joe always talked like he was staggerin...

I have a friend who collects the Mezco figures. His biggest issue is that the company does things ALMOST right, but not quite. For example, they made those Star Trek figures, including variations, but they don’t have a Dr. McCoy? You can imagine how I feel with a McFarlane Captain Kirk that apparen...

Preorders for Doc Savage now open...includes ripped shirt option

Better yet, there's also a "Baumhofer" head to go with the Bamas.

Still awfully pricey, though...

This is a great example of why unsolicited submissions need to be returned unopened. Lots of folks come up with the same or similar ideas: the name "Batman" shows up in various unrelated pulps, the pulp character the Black Bat wore a cowl and scalloped cape, the Phantom Detective was summo...

That's George Perez' redesign of Zatanna's outfit and while it has nowhere near the charm of the fishnets-and-top hat original, it should be remembered that in between we had this godawful eyesore: https://fwpodcasts.com/rd/pofimages/JLA/161page3.jpg So at the time, it was a definite step up. As alm...

I'm with you, something's off. Maybe it's the fact that the figures are many times larger than the buildings they're supposed to be swinging from, and it looks like the thug could simply put his feet down to resolve his peril. Or maybe it's that the hold Batman has him in looks pretty darn fatal. Or...

So...an unwearable, plastic approximation of an empty cowl like Adam West might have worn if Adam West had actually worn something that looked like that. And for a mere hundred bucks? Awesome. It's cool that there seems to be literally be something for everyone in the '66 Batman realm these days, bu...

Sometimes I sit in the living room and encourage my kids to keep plugging away at their homework or their piano lessons while I relax with a book.

Also I often talk about going fishing without actually getting around to it.

That's about it.
