Kenner Action Toy Guide

I thought this would make for a pretty cool post,especially with X-Mas just a couple days away.This Kenner pamphlet slid out of my Starting Lineup Award Winners box upon opening.This brought me back like you wouldn't believe!One of my favorite childhood pastimes was looking through toy guides ,marking off figures I needed to complete collections. We recently picked up a new printer with scanner so I figured why not give It a test run.The pics aren't as detailed and crisp as I would have liked them to be ,but that's something I'll have to work on as I go.Trial and error ,I guess.If anyone's got any scanning tips,all are welcomed :)

    The Rat Fink Rad Rods are really cool. Don't think I've ever seen those.

      Yeah I had one of them as a kid ,but that was the extent of it.I was never big on matchbox cars or hot wheels but these had a certain appeal with the exaggerated beastly freaks behind the wheels.

    I have like 3/4 of a shoebox full of these from over the years. I usually end up going through them about once a year, just to try and keep the memories alive.

    That sounds like a great idea.Action figure cardbacks are also great to hang onto for the same reason.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
