"A few angels in your corner is always a plus," says C.J., whose creative collages you have seen on this blog. How about a few more? This time we'll start with the lovely ladies of "Charlie's Angels" then go into more and more original "Star Trek"! Thanks again, C.J.
(These images are arranged in a certain order -- did you catch on yet?)
In case you didn't notice, each one of these collages is a spotlight on a particular "Trek" episode, and they're arranged in alphabetical order by title (including the "The" at the beginning of the title, if there was one!)
Yes, as with the other collages by C.J. posted on this blog, you are free to copy and share!
We're rounding out the year here at the BRBTV collectibles series, Terrific TV Toys and Terrific non-TV Toys. Earlier this month you saw a two-parter on the Playmobil "Scooby-Doo" playsets of the Mystery Machine and Shaggy and Scooby figure set. Now, we turn our attention (back) to the Backlog of Batgirls, and we're just not done yet! We're trying to be done with this looooooonnnnngggg series, but they've been multiplying since we began. That's a great thing, yes, just a bit tough to get caught up!
This may be the first appearance of McFarlane Toys on the BRBTV series. The brainchild of Todd McFarlane, who made a name for himself in the comic book industry at a young age in the '80s, this toy line has been known by collectors over the years as being highly detailed. McFarlane has taken on quite a few licenses for its toys over the years, beyond the Spawn figures that really caught people's attention. "Game of Thrones," "Harry Potter," to name a couple other biggies. But this year, amid the pandemic, McFarlane released a line of Batman-themed figures in a line called the Multiverse. This Batgirl figure was nabbed at Target as part of that series.
Stay tuned, because we've got great stuff planned for the new year. We've got just one last installment of the Backlog of Batgirls, then there shall be no more Batgirl or Batman on the series for the rest of 2021, as we turn instead to a very diverse assortment of other great collectibles!
Lite-Brite, Malibu Barbie, Farrah Fawcett and Evel Knievel and the Bionic Woman ... Oh, and Atari and the Odyssey game console, too! This has to be my favorite of the Pop Ninja podcasts I've sat in on so far ... reminiscing about Christmases of the '70s and '80s and the cool toys you got ... Join me, Patrick and Lisa for this week's episode, and trip back in time with us as we eagerly check out what's under the Christmas tree!
Many thanks to Nate for the great suggestion of making a playlist of Scooby-Doo items from the Terrific TV Toys series -- it's created! Now there's one central locale for all the Scoobilicious stuff from the BRBTV collecibles series, including the two latest episodes this month on the Playmobil playsets.
He's written a book about "The Brady Bunch," so who better to profile Brady dad Robert Reed than our good pal Brian Lombard. And it's the momentous 100th post of the Six Feet Under Hollywood blog ...
__________
Six Feet Under Hollywood: #100: Robert Reed: John Robert Rietz, Jr. was born in Highland Park, Illinois on
October 19, 1932. He was an only child, born to a pair of high school
sweethearts. His father, John, Sr., worked for the government while his
mother ran the household.
During his formative years, his family
moved around a lot, settling in Texas and then later Oklahoma. While
there, he worked on the family farm and joined the local 4-H club, but
was more interested in being a performer. As a teenager, he wrote and
produced dramas for the local radio stations and appeared in stage
productions at Central High School. [read on] ...
Last week on Terrific TV Toys we embarked on a looooonnnngggg mission to put together a Scooby-Doo-themed Mystery Machine playset by Playmobil. We got about halfway through the on-camera assembly and decided to finish it this week, so detailed is this set. So, picking right up where we left off (literally, with placing the decals on the clear image slides that go into that odd little box that goes into the back of the van), it's the conclusion of the "Mystery of the Playmobil Playsets" ... (got your coffee or tea, parents????) ...
A flashlight, some stuff to eat, a light-up case viewer, all kinds of crazy things to help solve mysteries are included in this Mystery Machine playset by Playmobil, released earlier this year. And if you're a parent looking for a Christmas gift for your little Shaggy or Daphne (age 5 and up), this could be just the thing. In this week's episode of the Terrific TV Toys series, which borders on ridiculously long but we'll just call it very long, you'll see the blow-by-blow of a silly gal trying to put this thing together. And it's only part 1 -- we'll continue it (and conclude it; you're welcome) next week.
