I like that POP! Tardis. I just got my wife a few Pops for her birthday, two of which were from Doctor Who. That'd be a great display piece.
Seeing some of these old toys makes me think of the Merv Griffin Show episode of Seinfeld, which was the countdown episode on Hulu yesterday (they've been doing one episode a day for the past week until this Wednesday when the entire series becomes available. That was the episode where Jerry dates a girl who inherited her father's vintage toy collection but won't let Jerry play with anything. He starts finding ways to get her to go to sleep (feeding her a turkey dinner, giving her "may cause drowsiness" aspirin instead of "non-drowsy", and having her watch old home movies) so he and his friends can play with the toys. Funny stuff!
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.

Hey, I had a Hands Down game when I was a kid! AND a Barrel of Monkeys. My cousins had a Lite Brite, the little bastards.
Like to get my hands on that space capsule. And that chocolate
factory would make a great germ factory.
Hands Down! I remember that game.
Very impressive toys. I'll take two of each please.
At least I am still getting your comments msmariah.
