gotta get apps for the holidays
The holidays are drawing nigh, and with them comes the dreaded holiday road trips. We have a couple trips coming up between now and the 25th, and the DVD player will definitely be in rotation. Plus, there is always the what-to-do-with-the-kids at a different toy-free home. That (and ok, at restaurants throughout the year) is [...]

PrfktTear Reviews > Frosta (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was at the height of its popularity at the time I was getting into it. I mostly relied upon a second-hand toy shop in town and yard sales to fill in the ranks of my collection. When She-Ra: Princess of Power made its debut I was well into [...]

How do Educational Toys Adapt as Children Get Older?
One of the biggest labels that toy companies love to put on their products is that it is an ‘educational toy.’ This is an easy sell to parents who want their kids to develop from the youngest possible age so that when they head to school they are whiz kids who are able to pickRead More

Review - Generations Fall of Cybertron Starscream
A new Classics-friendly Starscream has been on my wishlist for a long time. What's more, I really wanted something based on the Cybertron toy's design, but with better poseability. It took a few years, but it seems like thanks to Fall of Cybertron, I may have gotten exactly what I wished for. ...and in doing probably consigned myself to gradually amassing a whole new seeker collection. Aw, cripes, this really was a monkey's paw... Read the full review

BATMAN AND ROBIN - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!
HEY KIDS! It's time once again when we present a few BATMAN WALLPAPERS to brighten your desktop. So, here we go! For the 1st one I used some artwork I found online. It's from the 1980's so it has a very retro-style feel about it. Hope you enjoy it. If not, then here's another one that is more modern. This is the BATMAN TRIBUTE STATUE they showed at the end of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie.

French BATMAN Merchandise and Collectibles - From France!!
Here's a quick post to share some really fun pics sent in to us by our good friend Andrew who lives in Europe. Yes, these are "French and British" items! Something else that's interesting is that they are "something old and something new".
First the OLD item:
Here's an empty package of some BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES Potato Chips ( There, they call them "crisps" ) with beautiful graphics. These crisps were pretty rare even in UK, produced by Tayto of Northern Ireland. These came out around 1994.
Now the NEW:
This is a photo taken of a recent advertisement from a French Newspaper. When I say "recent", it was just a few days ago. So, this is stuff you can buy right now... if you live there, ha! It advertises a new line of DC Comics Superhero merchandise. Yeah, we're talkin' Batman, Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman. As you can see they're mostly home decorating items like Bedding, Storage Boxes, Blankets, Pillows, Bathroom Accessories, etc... very cool! ( Thanks Andrew! )

Fun BATMAN CHRISTMAS Graphics and Humor
Since Christmas is just 5 or 6 days away I thought I'd post some wacky BATMAN Christmas Graphics and Humor Photos. I have to admit that I'm not really in the Xmas spirit this year but I am obsessed with trying to help TOYS FOR TOTS because, seriously, it's a great children charity.
TOYS FOR TOTS has "Drop-Off Box" Locations spread around in every city and when you go to one you can just throw a couple of packaged toys in there. These items are then collected by US Marines and distributed as Christmas Gifts to needy kids. Please consider donating, it's easy to do and you will help give some poor little kid a wonderful holiday and a lasting memory.
