Sting in Dune

"Feyd" action figure from the movie Dune. 1984. Feyd was played in the movie by Sting.

Italian Joy Division

Joy Division book from the early 90s. The first half of the book is written in Italian, the second half is written in english.

Cool Cover

"The Dark Side of the Earth" by Alfred Bester. A collection of short stories from 1964. I posted this for the artwork. I love the old psychedelic sci fi book covers from the 60s and 70s.

Ceramic Skull

I made this in art class in the 11th grade. I thought it was neat.

Duran Duran 45 vinyl

Duran Duran, "Is there something I should know"  45 record from 1983. I seem to have alot of Duran Duran vinyl.

Speeder Bike with original box in great condition. Also shown, Biker Scout, and Chief Chirpa the ewok. From Return Of The Jedi, 1983.

The Beatles


John, Paul, George, and Ringo with the Yellow Submarine from Todd Macfarlane Toys, 1999. The box is a promotional item to promote the 1999 re-release of the "Yellow Submarine" album. The Macfarlane dolls were released at the same time. These are too cool!

R2D2 Mania!!!!!!

Radio controlled R2D2 with original box and instructions from 1978, it works too! R2D2 figure from Star Wars 12 inch collection from 1978.

Boss Hogg Tickles the Keys

Just a silly toy find from a thrift store, everyone should have a Boss Hogg figure.

Original Autobot

Transformer "Jazz" 1984. This is the original "Jazz" called generation one because it was taken from 1983s Takara Dioclone Robot Car Porsche 935, same toy, different stickers. The next generation of "Jazz" was a different Porsche with a saxaphone and missles.

Classic 45

Blondie "Rapture" 45 vinyl from 1981. I love vinyl, I love 45s, there like mini art . Great song , Great singer, simply classic

BFF

12 INCH HAN SOLO AND CHEWBACCA from 1978. These are nice, complete figures, im proud of them, i will show more 12 inch figures soon . Star Wars makes up 60% of my toys.

Classic cassette

The Church "Under the Milky Way" cassette single from 1988. One of my favorite bands. I cant believe Ive had this tape for twenty years. I have dozens of cds by them, but I hung onto this as a piece of nostalgia. It reminds me of high school.

Crucial Reading

VALIS 1981 printing and FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID 1975 original printing. I find Philip Dick amazing, Valis is a fine chunk of philosophy disguised as psychedelic scifi. I wouldnt call it a must read for everyone, but if you are into literature, progressive thought, gnostisism, or just mental/spiritual growth, its for you. FLOW MY TEARS on the other hand is an excellent scifi book, very trippy, as well as philosophical, Id say its a must read. Philip K Dick is crucial reading overall. I will continue to showcase PKD books regularly.

Hurray for Ewoks

King Gorneesh from 1985. This is from the cartoon series "Ewoks" which is quite possibly the worst cartoon adaptation of anything, ever. Do I own the DVD? Yes, but its in my daughters room.

Slave 1

Slave 1 from 1981 with Boba Fett and Han Solo frozen in carbonite

Gold Cylon

Gold Cylon. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. 1978. The gold ones were smarter.

Rebel Commando

REBEL COMMANDO from Return of the Jedi..1983..I always liked this figure. I have two of them, one unopened and one loose. (to play with)

Star Wars Soap

There are not words to describe this. Its soap.

Panthro

THUNDERCATS HOOOOO!!!!.  Panthro from 1985

Crucial Music
