Most of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was delightful but I did NOT LIKE this guy. I had a lot of abominable snowman nightmares afterwards, but oddly with a man made of snow as the stand-in even though I understood it as the same entity.

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up? I remember pulling this (or something very similar) out of my copy of the "Sonic in Your Face" 48-page special. (Later I bought some other copies so I'd have one in complete condition)

The upcoming series Archie in Hell just makes me think of the largely forgotten 90s Marvel mini-series Mort the Dead Teenager. There was potential there! If Disney weren't a bunch of creatively bankrupt cowards, we'd have a Mort movie.

I always appreciate being reminded how expensive pre-recorded home video was back in the 1980s. $40 for some episodes of GI Joe was considered cheap! It's obvious why rental stores were ubiquitous.

An ad from a 1984 Dazzler comic - the video game crash must have been in effect because "Games Clearinghouse, Inc" was trying to convince kids to start selling video games. Surely very few kids saw a direct profit from this, but I wonder what the entire dealer price list would have looked like.

Over the past several years, I've slowly built up a complete collection of Dazzler comics, because I really like her in X-Men. Now I'm reading them and... they're kind of bad. At least Bill Sienkiewicz's covers are cool. (I hope I'll enjoy the Dazzler the Movie GN or Beauty and the Beast mini)

Failed to find anyone with Thelemic leanings, struck out when finding the tarot deck I was looking for. But found some interesting-looking reading material (branchimg out into reading about Wicca)

My Area #1 score is surely going to be gone in a flash, but it feels good that I can claim to be the NY high score holder, even with my absolute scrub-ass, barely-clearing score! I know there are other NY players that will blow me away but I can hold the record for as long as they don't play it!

Post a comic cover you love.
the cover of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog #52 by Patrick Spaziante and Harvey Mercadoocasio showing a greyscale Sonic wearing a fedora with a feather in it, a trenchcoat and tie, with a flower in his lapel. He seems to be jumping backwards while holding out a pocket watch by the chain.

I love when comic book covers are extremely comic booky.
The cover of Fantastic Four #141
In the background to the left, The Thing is punching Mr. Fantastic. Mr Fantastic exclaims "Ben -- STOP! You don't UNDERSTAND!" to which The Thing responds with "All I know Richards, is that you tried to KILL YOUR OWN SON!!!"

In the foreground to the right, Invisible Woman is holding a brown-haired Franklin Richards who is glowing with an aura and eyes are shining yellow. She shouts "It's TOO LATE, Ben -- Too late for ALL of us!! Little Franklin is GLOWING -- like an ATOMIC BOMB!"

A box asks "Is this -- the END of the Fantastic Four?"

My final upload from the American Treasure Tour: a short clip of the Chuck E. Cheese animatronics in action! I never went to a Chuck E. Cheese so I've never seen them in person before, so this was cool. Also I'm not used to recording video with my camera so I missed the actual song.

Getting to the end, here are some misc SIGHTS that I liked. It's wild to see those shelves FULL in a random corner where nobody can easily get close and see what's on them. And I don't know why that particular Alice in the second pic looks like a Gelfling but she seems vaguely familiar somehow?

More than Christmas, there was also a ton of Easter decorations. Apparently the Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs set in the last picture are the *only* things in the collection that were donated - everything else was purchased.

When Collegeville Costumes closed, the owner of the collection bought their entire inventory. I had no idea they even made costumes of the like of Mr. Bumpy, Mega Man, Dr. Killemoff, and Tails! IMO this should still be the default for kids' Halloween costumes.
