IDEAL'S HAUNTED HOUSE

I got this canvas print from my friend Greg Pair! Looks better than the original box (And I have seen several)!

SPACE ANGEL

Another favorite of mine from CAMBRIA STUDIOS. I wrote Alex Toth, who designed this series and many of the HANNA-BARBERA SUPER HERO series, and told him I bought the board game and he said he wasn't aware of the board game.

This is the cover from the DVD set I helped with...my memorabillia is featured on the last disc.

CLUTCH CARGO

This is a postcard I got some years back....wish someone would do the nodders like this!

THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN

STEVE AUSTIN

I watched A BIONIC CHRISTMAS CAROL from season 4 last night! What a great episode...don't think I have seen it since it originally aired. I love how they had a JAWS game and a STEVE AUSTIN doll in the store Steve was buying presents at.

One of my 3-D Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis photos from MONEY FROM HOME. I bought them many years ago from the photographer that took them...PAUL A. HESSE

POW! BAM! ZAM!

I am going to put together my second ROBIN kit soon...

MATTEL'S HOT WHEELS

This is the HOT WHEELS set my Dad bought us at BARGAIN TOWN in Oak Lawn, IL...

JAYNE MANSFIELD

from the Excellent book CANIFF: A VISUAL BIOGRAPHY

Ironically, I pulled out my Jayne Mansfield box set a few days ago and watched THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT (THE BEATLES favorite rock film of the 1950's) and then realized it was Jayne Mansfield's birthday (I think it would have been her 80th?). Frank Tashlin directed the film (One of my favorites from the MARTIN & LEWIS and LEWIS solo films) and he directed WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? too!
