1983 ATLANTA BRAVES!

The closest I ever got to liking real sports was baseball circa 1982.  Dad and I lost our house due to bad investments on his part and we had to move to apartments.  The Atlanta Braves were looking good that year.  We had a hero in Dale Murphy.

I finally have them again!  Topps 1983 Atlanta Braves baseball cards!  I loved Baseball at the time.  1982's Max Dugan Returns had a help in my love for it too.  I used to get up early on Saturday mornings to watch a show Johnny Bench hosted about the mechanics of baseball for kids.

MONSTER 500 CARS!

These have been on my list as they remind me so much of the wacky cars I had in my youth.  Kevin BuzzChuck did not disappoint me again.  He sent 4 over of the main characters I presume.

Dracula, Wolfman, Franky, and a Zombie

I really like them alot.  Do I want to collect the rest of the line?  No I do not.  These hit the nostalgia button good enough.  Thanks so much to BuzzChuck at Action figure adventures for these great toys!

MARX CAVEMEN SCENE

If it was made by Marx in the states...There is a GOOD chance it has been knocked off in Mexico.  I had the Prehistoric Playset as a kid put out by Marx but you all know what happened to my collection back then.  I found these down here.

 They are knockoff Marx Cavemen for sure.  The playset possibly too.

It lessons the pain of losing the original but at least I got this.  

CREEPSHOW SHELF

Creepshow came out in 1982 I believe.  I was an instant fan.  I think my favorite was the Crate episode.  My least favorite was the cockroaches one.  What was so awesome was the title sequence.  The young boy who happened to actually be Stephen King's son in his room and his father hated him having the Creepshow comic.  I guess the father didn't mind so much the monsters in the kid's room though.

The kid even had Rodan flying up above.

Frankenstein will be substituting for the Mummy in this shot...  I never had the Prehistoric Scenes Allosaurus so that is no big whoop to me if I do not have it now.  The only PS model kits I am interested in are the Tar pit and the Wooly Mammoth as I DID have one of them as a kid.  I saw the tarpit live back then and always wanted one.  But I had the Mammoth.

MU GRIM REAPER

Again Camera sucks....

The Grim Reaper...I love his look.  The only issue I ever read with him in it was in a early story in West Coast Avengers.  He is the brother of Wonderman.  He was the leader of the Lethal Legion which consisted of Manape etc. That is about all I know of him.

MARTIAN MANHUNTER AND DAUGHTER?

Marvel and DC both suck sausages for me now.  I love my characters from the seventies and that is how I will always remember them.  I hardly recognize the characters today.  I found these down here.

It seems as if all the heroes and villains are having children.  That is stupid.  The characters should be timeless.  Oh well..John Jonzz and martian girl hear something rumbling in the JLA satellite...

 Suddenly the lights go out!

Oh no!  They are caught in the Giant hand of doom!  Yeah I couldn't think of a name for this hand....I might repaint it though with scales or something.

MY MATTEL PIC IS ALMOST COMPLETE!

All I am missing is four now.  I do not want Suckerman however.  I never had him as a kid.

I will probably have my artist make me a Monsterizer as the plastic one kinda sucked as I remember.
