Congrats to my good buddy (and store regular) Scott on his new purchase!!!

He was in the right place at the right time and grabbed both of these vintage 1970’s Sh**un Warrior figures off me right after they walked in the door. People ask me all the time what I collect… and this is one of the few things.

Based off early Japanese anime and robot cartoons, Mattel released these toys in the US. I had one small 5” die-cast Sh**un as a child and it was one of my favorite toys. The large 24” plastic figures are so much cooler, and have all sorts of accessories. Many figures launched missiles, discs, axes, etc, but all of these were eventually modified as toy companies started eliminating all small choking hazards.

There was even a Godzilla figure released with the Sh**uns that had a launching fist!!! To this day it is a grail item for many collectors, and is one of my favorite toys.

Release the Kraken army !!!!!

Our weekend long event was a huge success again this year. Thanks to the hundreds of people that came through the store over the past few days. I hope everyone enjoyed it.

We gave away over 200 free shirts to kids, and still have plenty more if you weren’t able to make it in. Stop by anytime this week.

Special thanks to those that helped out. It was certainly a challenge at times Saturday. Lol. But here are a few of the happy faces that made it worthwhile !!!!! Let us know if you see anyone you recognize, and my apologies to the many that I probably missed for a photo.

Thank you again for the support. We just celebrated THREE YEARS in Rowley, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a better spot for my business. 😋

All sorts of action here at the store!!! Summer vacation is officially here. If you are looking to cool off, stop by with the kids. Everyone knows we like to keep the AC cranked. Haha

Had a visit from Max, who will be spending his summer in a cast now due to a trampoline mishap. Third kid in an arm cast this week?!?!?! I got to sign it with my Kraken monster logo.

On a separate note, Julian has been here almost every day… and he is training hard for the big Wii bowling tournament. He has called out another store regular “Jeeps” and challenged him to a game next week. Stop by for a game!

Had a nice visit today from James who stopped in while passing through from CT.

He really lit up and was excited when he saw that I had a 2XL!!! It was a 1978 8-track robot trivia machine that he had as a kid. He shared pics of him playing with one in 1978 with family.

The 2XL is considered one of the first “smart toys” and won multiple awards for its educational interactive play.

I’m glad James found us today, and he was excited to take this iconic toy home with him!! It’s always nice to reunite people with scarce toys from their childhood.

Let us know if you are looking for that special item.
