lost & found vintage toys

the educational archives

this retro educational archives set is a fun blast from the past all in a cool tin lunchbox ~

it contains 4 dvds, thermos & cup, peechee & subject booklets ~
(someone get the lights while we start up the projector..)

'a guided tour through the darkened classrooms of the past' ~

the vintage films you saw in school to scare you off drugs & sex,
(but that only made toxic more curious..)

now let's open our peechees ~

i stopped watching, though, at the part where they show the anti-drug film about the hotdog, it just freaked me out too much..  (had i seen that one back in school my life may have gone a different road?)

krofftkon

i had a blast yesterday watching a live stream on insta of krofftkon, which is happening all weekend at the orinda theater in northern california ~

click the link to see marty krofft's grandson, griffin, taking the video :) ~

& yeah, that's me there with weird comments & a question for marty ~

i had to ask if he knew art clokey? nope ~

& in comments later with sid krofft who has liked my comments in the past, i was able to satisfy my curiosity about an old rumor from toxic's childhood, that the opening scene with the creepy boat as the hr pufnstuff theme plays was filmed up at a spot she knew & loved, big bear lake, ca? yes! that's true & he said it was a beautiful day :) ~

if you're as big a fan of the old krofft shows as i am you should click the links in this post to a bunch of posts i've done in the past ~

meanwhile enjoy these cool collectibles i've just added to my toyroom including pufnstuff, sigmund & the sea monsters, electra woman & dynagirl, lidsville & toxic's favorite land of the lost pins, magnet & Stickers!! i've always said witchiepoo was my earliest fashion influence! ;) ~

Sleestak! Avoid Eye Contact! i have to say my favorite moment at krofftkon was when will & holly sing the show theme & even remembered to add grumpy the dinosaur at the end! made my day!! :D ~

vampire gumby

so i was finally able to add the hard to find vampire gumby pin to my favorite jacket! ~

it was available once upon a time up at the gumby world store but not for long & i missed my chance years back ~

i miss playing gumby games for cool prizes including pins like these! ~

after following up leads at halloween stores online to no avail i finally purchased this pin through rockinpins on insta ~

along with a few others i was missing ~

like pokey & goo ~

to go with my standard gumby pin ~

they are now on my hat ~

there's also blockheads & lowbelly available when they're in stock ~

i hope they will make others available eventually? like gumby's parents, tara & minga? ~

gumby dressed up as a vampire in the new adventure called 'of note' here ~
