Grand Finale!

June 30, 2009

It’s been one whole month of toys.  I could probably go on for another month, but all good things must come to an end and it’s time for this project to move on.  I don’t know where it’s going… a book?  A show?  Comic conventions?  I want to take the project somewhere but I’m not sure what format it should take.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!

And now… for the grand finale… A Band of Bad Guys!  Skeletor, Hordac, Beast Man and Mer-man.  Awesome.

Thanks for checking out the toys, and I hope you enjoyed them!

You asked for it, so here’s another!

Two Face

June 28, 2009

This isn’t a toy from the 80s, because its from Batman: The Animated Series, which I watched in high school. Two Face is, however, a really important toy to me because he was sitting on my desk at my last desk job and reminded me that there are things to love in the world. Like awesome cartoons. This is also the first toy I photographed and I think I have to go back and do it again, but figured I’d put it up anyway!

Grimlock!

To celebrate the apparent mess that is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, here is a Dinobot.

Barbie

June 25, 2009

It could not be an 80’s toy retrospective without Barbie.  There are many more Barbie portraits where these two came from, but these two are my favorites.  This is an early-80’s ballerina Barbie and I loved her so so much.

Strange Unknown Action Figure

June 23, 2009

I have no idea what or who this is.  I found it with my brother’s toys, and am quite taken with how sad he looks. Any ideas who this is?

I didn’t know this guy’s name so I just googled it – it’s apparently Robeast Scorpius.   Right on!
