Have You Ever Lost Your Toys/Action Figures?

3:36:00 PM
Oh Sweet Memories...

We may go mad! Want to cry and die a little inside right? Need therapy... who knows.

Have you ever wondered WTF happened to all of your awesome childhood toys/action figures? I have... sometimes. I was having this conversation with my brother the other day... He's a pretty funny guy and also an action figure/awesome pop culture poster enthusiast. 

I remember I donated A LOT of plush animals once to charity. I regret it sometimes because of sentimental value and because I had a whole Toy Story sort of thing going on (long story) but plushed animals take up a shit load of space! I just couldn't deal anymore. Also theres the thought of them going to kids who need them which makes me feel like I did something good, so that's okay. I do however have a bunch of little action figures missing that I don't remember donating: Madonna and Dick Tracy, Princess Peach from Mario, Retro Barbie Figures, Topcat, and much more. I'm going to assume the parentals through them out or gave them away... 

Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever tried to hunt them down and get them back in your life? Have you ever flipped the fuck out when you realize you probably purchased them for 1-10 dollars and now they can be up to 60-300 dollars on eBay on at toy stores? WTFFFFFFF. Luckily some have remained at about the same price but A LOT of sky rocketed.

Here are some of my brothers that went missing:  

Roton MOTU Heman 1980's toy Original Vintage lot Vehicle 1984

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 1984 ROAD RIPPER VEHICLE W/ STRIP MOTU HE-MAN MATTEL

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vintage 1990 FUGITOID Figure TMNT


As for me... I couldn't find much of my stuff online but I remember...

Vintage Disney Applause Dick Tracy and Breathless Madonna PVC Figures

Retro Barbie Toys from Mc Donalds

Retro Looney Tunes Figures - Shell Gas - 1990

It's sad stuff I tell ya! I would loved to have some of the retro figures I remember owning nicely displayed on a book-shelf (sigh).

So here's what I have to say to the parents of small children right now...

Save some of their shit! You know, some cool toys or action figures you think will mean something someday... pay attention. They don't know any better... and one day they'll thank you. Perhaps pick your top 10 favorite toys or more if you have the space. No excuses!

National Pizza Day: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Homage.

12:58:00 PM
So I guess you all heard it's 'National Pizza Day'...




Growing up I was obsessed with Pizza (notice how I capitalize the P, this is no mistake) and I still am! Every time my parents would buy a box for the family it was a treat! A good day! A celebration! Basically it meant we were all in a good mood and life wasn't so bad. These days I'm able to afford my own Pizza ha ha... and I buy it whenever The.Hell.I.Want. (muahaha).

Anyway, in honor of 'National Pizza Day' I found the most awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pizza mash-up on YouTube. You're favorite Pizza loving cartoon characters. They talk about all sorts of Pizza (even Pizza with marshmallows on top). Whoever made this video is awesome, it even references back to which episode the clip is from.

Pizza just makes life better... Isn't that a fact at this point in life?

Flophouse.com is LIVE.

2:02:00 PM
Yesterday my brother texted me THIS and I got pretty excited.


Many of you may have seen Flophouse at comic coventions with their awesome tees and pancake pillows, but their website wasn't available. Alas the day has come! Check out http://flophouse.com

I love their whole mission and how they try to take you back to those special childhood moments we all miss and wish we could revisit.

- THE WHY? -

When we set out on this journey to start our new little company, many thoughts raced through my mind as to why we wanted to do this. Do what you love and the money will follow!…….Do more of what makes you happy!……..Do what your heart tells you to do!……Just do it!……….Relax don’t do it!?………….I was so confused!!!&@^#%

In the end I figured, let’s just make stuff we love and figure out the rest later. Worst case, we got plenty of nifty shirts we can wear ourselves and pancake pillows we can give out to friends and family as Christmas presents over the next 100 years or so.

We try to create more of a “feeling” than just another t-shirt or plush item – we want to stir childhood memories and fun times. Enjoy life here and now, and try not to take things so seriously – unless of course you spent your life savings on t-shirts and pancake pillows (just kidding). So to answer the question as to the Why? Flophouse, fun stuff we wanted for ourselves! Hope you like it too.

Bebop and Rocksteady Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 3 debut at New York Comic Con 2014.

11:10:00 PM
You have to know that any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle panel going down at Comic Con is going to have a HUGE line and be jam packed... I mean why wouldn't it be? Who wouldn't love awesome Turtles who are ninjas and love to devour pizza?

Fans of the Nickelodeons TMNT cartoon rejoiced and anxiously waited for the panelist to talk and show some season 3 teasers. On stage you had executive producer Ciro Neili, head writer Brandon Auman, and voice artists Greg Cipes (Michelangelo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Seth Green (the new Leonardo), and Eric Bauza (Tiger Claw).

Some teasers and news I found interesting was the return of Renet, an old character from the comics who's going to be voiced by Ashley Johnson. The producers also promised more female characters coming soon! (girl power y'all).

The news I found to be the coolest, being someone who grew up on the old cartoons was *drum rolls please* WAIT FOR IT... The return of the iconic Behop and Rocksteady! How freaken awesome is that! Remember these guys?


Some of you who have only watch the Nickelodeon cartoon may not be familiar with these guys but they first made their debut in the 1987 TV Series. 

For those of you not familiar with their history head over HERE and find out all about how The Shredder mutated members of a street gang, so that they would be stronger than the turtles and have better abilities to beat them. Bebop and Rocksteady volunteered but things didn't necessarily go as planned. 

Below watch a clip of Bebop and Rocksteady's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 3 debut played at the New York Comic Con TMNT 2014 panel. It was a wise choice of Nickelodeon to bring them back in my opinion, makes the hardcore fans happy. 

A shout-out and thanks to Daniel Mejia for providing us with the clip! 






We'll be back with more New York Comic Con updates for you soon, but For now check us out on Twitter and Instagram
