Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

What's interesting about Maskatron is that they obviously wanted to exploit the "Fembot" concept from the two TV shows (Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman) because they realized they could do a toy version of the "peel away false face" schtick...but they realized that their target audience of boys wouldn't buy a female action figure ("It's not a doll; it's an action figure") so they invented the male "Maskatron" character, who only exists as a Kenner toy and never appeared on either show.
(There was a Fembot version of Oscar Goldman, but it wasn't "Maskatron" -- just another android built by that mad fiend. I can't remember what his grand objective was; probably, he wanted to "take over the world.")

Maybe that is why they are not re-issueing the male maskatron with all his attatchments. I am a huge fan of figures that can disquise themselves.
My friend had the Maskatron figure. (I just had the Six Million Dollar Man figure, with the engine block etc.) What was great was, when Maskatron put on his "Steve Austin" mask, he really looked like the Steve Austin figure...it was the same plastic mold! Disguising one action figure as another is much more feasible than doing it with real people.
That's why a real life Captain Action movie would look stupid. The concept only works as a toy...or a cartoon.
