What's crazy is I had every one of those Mego superheroes figures, playsets and vehicles. And all the Bionic Man ones save the Bionic Woman (I still think Oscar Goldman's exploding suitcase was the coolest component).
I had a lot of those MEGO figures (including Fonzie) and I had the Six Million Dollar Man. But I would have loved to have got my grubby little hands on those wicked awesome Space:1999 toys instead of having to resort to making them out of Lego!
A relative gave my older son abn immaculately packaged, new, original GI Joe as a gift millions of years ago...preserved, it would probably have put him through college, but being a normal kid, he played with it down to the nub.And he was right.
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.

Would have killed for a complete set of these way back when!
Where's Bigfoot?

Man, I was spoiled as a kid!

Why is Spiderman the only Marvel character stuck in with those DC figures?

Knowing they were cheesy, I STILL would love to have had the Space:1999 stuff.
I built up the Mattel Eagle a few years back and it's STILL gorgeous.
