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!

2 Movies I'm Excited To See So Far In 2015.

3:35:00 PM
I've been really picky with my choices of movies I pay to see lately...

The theatre is so pricy these days. Besides the price, you usually always have some creep talking or obnoxiously laughing behind you, someone kicking your chair, a baby crying, or some bullshit going down. If I'm coughing up anywhere around 25-30 bucks a pop it better be worth it.

A lot of movies are so "Meh" now-a-days. All these either paranormal/horror movies (OMG the doll, it's alive!) or the Taken type of movies (seriously, who are they taking next Liam!?) or the I'm coming back from war movies (but WAIT there's one last attack I must overcome.) Can someone please tell me what's up with the space movies lately?! I saw Gravity and after sitting there for 91 minutes I wanted to pull my eyes out with my own bare hands just so I can stuff them in my ears ( I liked Interstellar way more, was intrigued by the time travel) maybe the space movies aren't for everyone...

Anyways, these are just my personal opinions based on what I like to see. Here are the trailers of 2 films I'm excited to see soon.

The Voices
Released February 6 2015



"Likeable Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) stumbles innocently into the role of a killer, guided along the way by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog."

This movie's unconventional and there's talking pets and human deceased heads! Ryan Reynolds also does the voice for both the dog and cat too which is pretty cool because I didn't know he had such range. The movie seems all sorts of kooky so I'm really excited about it.  A horror/comedy/thriller, love it!

Then we have CHAPPIE.
Released March 6 2015



"After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot."

I like watching movies where robots aren't controlled by humans but have their own emotions and learn how to interact. Chappie seems like it has a pretty solid cast starring Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver. I also has Yolandi Visser and Ninja from Die Antwoord (which I've seen live front row and are awesome) so that should make the film a little cooler too. Chappie himself seems like a fine...Chap?

Hope both these films rock! What are you excited to see soon?
