Dunno. I was noticing new Woody and Buzz bubblebath turning up in recent weeks, and suddenly this lone alien was sitting in the socks aisle of a Target store. Maybe the shortpacked one? It's generic "Toy Story", not "3" as I assumed. Tag reads "Disney/Pixar Toy Story Playtime Punch Bubble Bath" and specifies Australian distribution by Cosmex International.
Thiptho lapth,

I've seen Buzz and Woody locally, but no Aliens. I'll have to track one down now for my TS Alien collection.

Toy Story aliens terrify a chicken by Therin of Andor, on Flickr

I have lots of medium and tiny aliens, but here are my larger aliens, all about the same size as the new shampoo bottle. Have you seen the alien teddy? Or the talking bedroom night light?

I don't know about finds but for an early B-day my girls got me; The Horror The Horror Comics the Government Didn't Want You To Read, The Complete History of the Return of the Living Dead, DST's Retro Frankenstein and this Fright Rags t-shirt~



I believe there was a post/discussion on this shirt; I find it very interesting that right here on the UMA the concept of a mixed up monster was discussed and then this shirt suddenly came upon the scene!?

I'm one happy monster lover!

Have you had a chance to look this over? I bought this a few mos ago. It's a cool book with some wicked reprint stories and the DVD is pretty funny and seemed scripted to me.

Actually haven't really gotten around to even flipping thru this; I started reading the Return of the Living Dead book first.  I went straight to the end of the book and read about Parts IV & V since I wasn't really interested in them and the movies sucked big time.  The story of their production was actually interesting, it's even stated in the book (I think by one of the screen writers) that the production story is better than the films themselves; And I completely agree!  And I still haven't finished Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff: The Expanded Story of a Haunting Collaboration, with a Complete Filmography of Their Films Together but I'm probably going to be reading (hopefully finishing) that on my upcoming vacation.  Will report back once I delve into ...Comics The Government Didn't Want You To Read.

This fabulous Man from UNCLE board game arrived just last week. The contents are still sealed!





It necessitated a slight rearrangement of the cabinet shelf holding my board games:

Very cool board game, Hep. But I think it should be stacked above Shindig.........Buddy

Hepcat

You may be correct. I think they're the same size.

Hep,

Could you pull out that Star Trek shuttle and see if there is a photo of Kirk and Spock on the side?  Only if it is not a major pain.  Thanks!

Hepcat

There are no pictures of Kirk or Spock on the side of either the Galileo Shuttle or the Space Station.

And the Ideal games are about a quarter inch longer than the Remco games so the Man from UNCLE game stays on the bottom.

I remember my Enterprise box as a kid had two pics and was wondering if yours did.  Rats.  Thanks for checking.  That was my favorite part of the kit back in the early 70's.  I remember cutting them out and carrying them around like family photos! 8)

Man Hep, that is one really far out game.  Greatest spy show ever, Man/Girl From U.N.C.L.E.  rocks.
