TRON week is coming...



As you can see from the blury pic of my desk I have a lot of TRON stuff to open up, read, and play with. I've been swamped the last few days and haven't had a chance to go over all the great TRON items that are starting to hit stores. Next week in honor of the original 80s classic and the upcoming sequel I'll be blogging about TRON every night. Toy pics and reviews, book reviews, and an in depth look at the making of the original film with many rare photographs I've been scanning from my vintage magazines and books collection. END OF LINE.

Land of the Lost 90s style...

Image
This weekend the first official stinker of the 2009 movie season hit theaters with the release of Will Ferrel's version of Land of the Los t. With a budget of over 100 million dollars the film opened nationwide to a meager 17 million dollar take at the box office. I, like many other fans of the previous Land of the Lost shows did not go see it for the simple reason that it's just not the Land of the Lost I grew up with. I was not even alive when the original show aired, but when the 90s version premiered back in 1991, I tuned in and soon became hooked. Many fans of the original have bashed this version to no end, but I was only around 11 years old when it aired and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I tuned in every Saturday morning to ABC for the continuing adventures of the Porter family as they tried to figure out a way back to their world week after week. This version of Land of the Lost followed the Porter family ( their Dad Tom, son Kevin and daughter Annie) a they become trappe...

Happy Three Kings Day...

Image
Today, people all over the world celebrate the arrival of the three wise men at Bethlehem to worship baby Jesus. This is the last major event of the Christmas season. Unfortunately, not a lot of people in the U.S. outside of the Latin communities are very familiar with this celebration of the epiphany. Three Kings Day, celebrates the Biblical story of the three kings, Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar, who followed a star that led them to Bethlehem, where they brought baby Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The journey is believed to have taken 12 days, beginning on Dec. 25 and ending with their arrival on Jan. 6. O n the eve of Three Kings Day, children leave a shoebox filled with grass, sometimes accompanied by a glass of water or freshly polished shoes, under their bed or by the door to help the three kings and their camels along on their journey. When children wake up on the morning of Three Kings Day, the grass and water...

BBC Robin Hood toys!!!

Image
One of my favorite shows in recent years was the BBC version of Robin Hood. I'll admit it got off to a rough start but halfway through the first season the show started to hit on all cylinders. The stories were a lot of fun and they were able to put a new spin on the classic myth. I just found out that at some point around the show's second season an European toy company known as Vivid Imaginations put out a line of toys based on the show. Unfortunately the line was never distributed at retail in the U.S. It took some time but I was able to create a list of all the items released as part of this toy line. Lets take a look at everything. ACTION FIGURES The heart and soul of the toy line, as is usually the case, was the action figure assortment based on some of the show's main characters. Vivid Imaginations put out a total of 5 action figures. These figures measured 5 inches and came with a nice amount of accessories . The line included Robin Hood, Little John, The Night Wa...
