I'll get you, my pretty....

Yep. It's that time of year again, folks!
Cold weather, hot chocolate, crowded shopping malls and lots and lots of Christmas specials.
While watching T.V. the other day, I got excited when I saw the first "Wizard of Oz" promo for the season on TBS. Yet one more sign that the winter's coming...
So excited, in fact, that I thought I would do my own rendition of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Space Cadet


(sigh) Yup, I know... dream on, kiddo....
Ok the first one who guesses which Sci Fi hero used to own this ray gun will get a Cocomalt premium. My treat.

Stretch Armstrong

One of the coolest toys of the 70's. -I wasn't there yet, but that's what I've been told.

Flat Top Jones

Here's one of the best characters from Dick Tracy's rogue gallery: Flat Top. Although the movie was not true to the cannon, I still get a kick out of it every time I watch it. I loved the photography and make-up... plus it takes me back to my childhood.
What else can I say?

EGON SPENGLER: Freight Features

One of the coolest action figures from my Real Ghostbusters collection. Without a doubt, Egon was the brains of the team.
The only thing that sucked about playing with it is that the tie was thin and easy to break --which is probably no big deal compared to Winston, whose leg would fall off after a couple of squeezes. Oh well...
Who you gonna call?

Bugs from outer space.

Yet another one of my collectible gum cards. This is a character from a Sci-Fi web comic that will hopefully see the light of day in the near future.

Enjoy!

Ahhh the 50's...

Who you gonna call?

I have always been a huge fan of the Ghostbusters. I've watched the first movie hundreds of times and I don't think I ever missed a single episode of the RGB cartoons back in the day.
Needless to say I was more than happy when I got this assignment from High Definition Review earlier this year.
I bought the XBox 360 videogame a few weeks ago when it came out and haven't had enough spare time to finish it just yet.

This is a good year for Ghostheads like me with the BluRay movie release, the videogame, the Time Life collection and now the new Mattel "action" figures. I haven't felt this good since I was 10. I hear they're working on a script for the third movie and I hope they do a good job with it... lots of us have been waiting for a long time now.

Why so serious?

Hey everybody!
I did this one for my friends at High Definition Review magazine a little while ago. I think about a couple of months before Heath Ledger passed away.
A few years back when the news came out about Heath playing the part of the Joker I was extremely upset. To be honest, I didn't think the guy would be able to pull it off.
Boy, was I wrong. The guy was definitely the Best Joker Tinseltown has ever had to offer. Too bad we won't be seeing him again in any sequel.

MEET KEN ORBITRON

Everyone that knows me, knows I'm a sucker for Old Time Radio Shows and all those good ol' Sci-Fi pulps. I don't know about you but for me, the cheesier those stories are, the more I get hooked on 'em.
So not long ago, I decided to create my very own retro-style Sci-Fi action hero.
So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce KEN (Ken, ken, ken..) ORBITRON! (Tron, tron, tron...)

GROOVY, BABY


With my apologies to the DC Universe, here's my own version of one the hottest comic book characters ever brought to life: Yvonne Craig as BATGIRL.
I used to watch reruns of the 60's Batman TV show when I was a kid and this chick really made an impression on me. (sigh)

P.S. Yes, I'm a big geek.
