That's the good stuff.

Vampire blood was available into the 90s from Imagineering, then Paper Magic after they were aquired. Rubies who bought PM still makes it. There are rumors, they will be going out of business soon. The ironic packaging was only available in the 70s and early 80s. By the middle 1980s, it was this.

Vampire Blood by Imagineering was essential to my childhood. For Halloween it was a must have, but also for year round fake injuries, and my favorite prank as a kid, finger in a box.

Ok, has this in the late 80's. Did my discount corner store sit on a batch of vampire blood for a decade lol?

Maracas make the man. Thing is I'm sure there'll be a deluxe version including them that I'd "need" to get too.

As a kid seeing the VHS on the shelf..

Claim a movie poster 🖤

In my mind this was also for a tie-in videogame.

I did not like this VHS cover as a child lol. Not one bit.

Ghosts True tales of the weird and supernatural.

I swear half these covers are some dude thinking he's marrying a babe only to find out she's a ghost.

Mam, I need to revisit that Werewolf by Night special.

Thank you, the hunt begins!

The Inhumanoids toys Metlar, Herc Armstrong and a Granite and Redwood chill out with two random GI Joes to show off their sizes

The Joes are startled by their new companions but fear not, they’re friendly! (Yes, even the Granite and Redwood)

Herc takes his helmet off to show that underneath his giant Environmental Suit he has the same sized noggin as the Joes (not being funny but you can tell that Herc is a scientist and the Joes are soldier boys)

This guy however is NOT friendly - Metlar captures a flesh slug! I think Inhumanoids should have had a plain human size class to both make the line more accessible with an entry-level price point and make the kaiju-sized Inhumanoids more impressive

Did you know Inhumanoids are the same scale (& set in the same universe) as GI Joe? The Earth Corps environmental suits are powered armour & within they are Joe-scale. Not sure why Hasbro didn’t make more of this especially as it makes the big 3 Inhumanoids even more impressive #vintagetoytuesday

#TransformersTuesday & #vintagetoytuesday ???

G1 Jumpstarters: Topspin (never had him until now but do remember a friend has the guy with dual drills?). Just need to get some stickers.

The rest will find good geeky homes.

Honestly this cover F's me up as a kid & highlights the importance of hand me down comics.

Another one that slipped through the cracks, I may be too tired for something that isn't a schlocky alien mutant jam but I'll try.
