So I really didn’t get much at the Octoberfest Toy Show this morning, mostly because I didn’t find anything that was on my “list”. Couldn’t resist this BK Aquaman tub toy tho. It’s funny peculiar that Burger King had two Super Powers kids meals, both long after Kenner had closed shop on the line

Man, banner week. A Telco Motionette, an original Manglor Egg, a Turbo Teen model kit and now this Martian Coconut all in the span of seven days. Blessed

It’s crazy that you can draw a continuous geographic line between the states Evil Dead, Childs Play, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dawn of the Dead, F13th and Ghostbusters take place in

Somebody once asked me to name a set of action figures that wasn’t my thing as a kid, but as an adult, I love ‘em. It’s Rock Lords, hands down. Brimstone may not have a ton of play value in rock form, but he looks great standing on a steering wheel

Not a myth, not a nightmare, yes, Virginia, there *is* a Turbo Teen model kit. For those unfamiliar, Turbo Teen is a 1984 Ruby Spears cartoon about a teenage boy who accidentally drives into the middle of a “government experiment” and finds himself merged with his car

I watch F13th part 6 and I wonder who paid for Jason to have a proper burial and tombstone. I watch Jason Takes Manhattan and I wonder how Jason, who can’t swim, that’s a central element of his character, *swims after a rowboat 25 miles to shore*

3D Holograms seemed like “cutting edge/wave of the future” tech to the masses of American consumers in 1983/84. Colorforms, trying to stay ahead of trends, created the Lazer Blazers branding and licensed everything from Michael Jackson to the A-Team to Transformers for sticker sets

So I’ve maybe solved the mystery of the Brass Battle Cat, or at least found a compelling clue😉 from a December 1986 newspaper

Here’s some spooky boxes of Count Chocula from the late nineties to brighten a gloomy Sunday afternoon. Bonus Boo Berry and Hidden Treasures at the end

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Absolutely floored to add the Ghoulies soundtrack on cassette (in a Fish Ghoulie Green casing no less!) to the collection! If you want treasures like this for yourself, keep an eye out for when @dinosaurdracula reopens subscriptions to his funpacks🤘

I go through phases. Sometimes I’m all about cereal prizes. Sometimes I’m all about 80s horror ish. Sometimes I’m about homebrew sticker albums. Right now “not quite licensed junk you’d find from the indoor vendors at the flea market in 1986” is in retrograde.

From the same flea market box that produced Sabretooth, I also scooped up Longshot, because how could I not? Huge fan of the Longshot miniseries and his all too brief tenure with the X-Men took place exactly when I started reading month to month, during the Claremont/Silvestri run

How cool are these Hallmark Bravestarr stickers?!?

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So I’m watching Jason Lives for the umpteenth time (psst, most of the films are free on YouTube right now in TV edit form) and it finally struck me: who paid for Jason to have a proper burial and tombstone?

Saw another Instagrammer post this amazing Boo! Blvd yard sign a couple weeks ago and I was like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme: “I have that in storage somewhere” and indeed I did. He’s seen better days (may have been scratched up when I bought him honestly) but the wear hasn’t dampened his majesty

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

If, hypothetically speaking, I bought a sealed Turbo Teen model kit, do you think I should put it together when it gets here?

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Mattel’s Mad Scientist toys were all over the place and while more “gimmicky gross toy” than action figure, pretty much all of them are at least action figure -adjacent-

Share someone who looks stylish wearing the colour ORANGE. 🧡

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yeah, yeah, ToyBiz’s first take on Sabretooth isn’t exotic or hard to find. Not everything has to be a “look at me” flex😉 He’s super cool though and something you’re likely to find at a flea market for two bucks!

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Cmon, you didn’t think I was buying a carrying case without a Beetlejuice figure didja? Didn’t want to set him off in the car and risk losing pieces, but I can confirm this Beetlejuice is in fact explosive! Nice face sculpt too…he’s got a bit of Zacharly in him

081

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Shouts to @mizutoysandgames for this wonderful Beetlejuice carrying case complete with packaging artwork from all the first series figures *and* a TRU price sticker! You’re very scary, Harry…

Nerd Fest was good to me this morning. I’ll show off a few other procurements later, but let’s start with an absolutely KILLER issue of Fangoria from 1985!

Bio-Glow Swamp Thing is extra as hell: not only does he full body glow like a boss, he has that Super Powers “squeeze my hips and I punch” gimmick going on. Mercari keeps giving me these $10 coupons (which also work for shipping), this magnificent monster cost me a grand total of a dollar fifty👀

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Oh no…he just *owns* his scenes as “Glam Rock Frankenstein Monster” Beef in Phantom of the Paradise and I low key loooove Used Cars. Gerrit made -everything- he appeared in better. RIP😕

This 7-11 slurpee cup has to be one of, if not the first, piece of All New, All Different X-Men merch. Iceman is even in his alt Frosty the Snowman form!

Some of the finest things I’ve managed to collect over the years are candid 80s found photos of people in full Halloween costumes standing in their living rooms

Forgot to post these mutant fish companions from Waterworld yesterday. Love these guys, they’re like oceanic RGB ghosts

This is kinda amazing. Sixteen episodes of Tales From the Darkside in short story form published as one handy dandy paperback. I read “Halloween Candy” last night and Michael McDowell does a wonderful job adding meat to the bones of the two main characters

Getting together to watch “Deception of a Generation” was definitely the most interesting thing to do that weekend in the whole state of Montana (The Daily Inter Lake, Kalispell, MT, 3/27/87)

Apologies in advance for the subpar photography; I deal in Light, it’s just not cooperating this afternoon. So you don’t see a complete set of Shreddies D&D holograms from 1986 every day!

You can now end your day saying “I got flipped off by a guy in a Klaatu mask”. Yr welcome

Mars had a surprise hit with their candy filled Pumpkin bucket in 1989, so for 1990 we not only got a retooled Pumpkin, but a Ghost and Goblin as well! Perfect for trick or treating and for shelf display

I had the fortune to be at the April 13th, 1998 episode of Raw in Philly. It ended up being historic for two reasons: one, it was the first time in more than 18 months that Raw drew a higher Neilson rating than Nitro

Tom Danger @afunghoul.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Remember those thick brass slammers with a hologram in the center that you could only get from shady vendors at the flea market? Well, look at this👀 Same holograms, now officially sold as Holo Zone Zap Caps, and by a country mile, the best of the twenty something designs all in one set!
