"The Call With Nancy Sabato" features "Rapture Chronicles" guests including BRB

Many thanks to Nancy of "The Call with Nancy Sabato" for having this author as well as writer-director-producer Dray Hill and actress Staffy Blakely on her show to talk about "The Rapture Chronicles." It was a wonderful chat, with a wonderful host, talking about our web series and what makes it unique. 

On "The Call" guests typically share stories of perseverance, faith and courage – stories that give hope to those who feel worried and restless. Nancy produces episodes of her own series every two or three days, so it was an honor to be a guest. We discussed Dray's vision behind "The Rapture Chronicles," as well as our own thoughts about the rapture itself and what kind of impact a series like this could have on those who are unsaved.

Announcing the fourth Kindle edition of "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion"

It's been several years since "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion" was first released in Kindle edition and in part 1 and part 2 of the print edition. Author Will Rodgers keeps collecting, though -- you can see much of his action figure collection in the photo albums of the Terrific TV Toys Facebook page. And so, because Will has accumulated a lot of great figures of the beloved "Super Friends" characters (such as more-recently released items from Figures Toy Company's various robust lines), we decided to freshen up the Kindle edition of the book with some new photos. 

So, in the Kindle edition only -- the two-volume print series remains the same -- you'll see a brand-new photo accompanying each "Super" character profile scattered throughout the book. Each new character profile photo shows all of Will's figures of that particular Super Friend or super-villain, whether it's the Mego or Figures Toy Company eight-inch, cloth-clad figure or a smaller (or sometimes bigger) figure by Mattel or another manufacturer. So it's another feature of this "Super Friends" guide -- illustrations of the various collectibles out there.

The price for the Kindle edition remains the same, and it's a good deal at $8, because this thing is just huge, the equivalent of 809 letter-sized pages. Besides these comprehensive character profiles, the book gives you extremely detailed episode synopses for every one of the series variations through the 1970s and 1980s, along with complete histories of each series, a look at the comic books and other merchandise associated with the shows, and other fun stuff. Will loves the Super Friends -- it's one of his areas of expertise!

Terrific TV Toys: Golden Batmobile by Mattel / Hot Wheels, 2021

The Terrific TV Toys web series posts the first episode of its 10th season (I mean, 10 years, really???) by drawing once again from the TV show we all know and love so very much ... the 1966 "Batman" series starring Adam West. This hot little gold-colored Batmobile is something this author didn't actually see on store shelves, but hey, my buddy Jim in Canada saw it, so he was kind enough to mail it to me across the border! It even got sent to the wrong house at first! Jim is nothing if not diligent and thoughtful (as well as a being a talented artist -- check out the Jim's Creations page on Facebook) ...
