Box of Schlock: Eighties Rewind

Next month I am celebrating some of the things that I loved during the eighties with my 1980's Rewind Edition of the Box of Schlock.

In August, I am throwing in all kinds of goodies, both new and vintage, from the 1980's.  Plus, as always, candy, snacks, and a Mystery Gift!

I am still working out details on how to make the Box of Schlock into a subscription based thing, but for the moment, you can still go to my site and pre-order one for $25 with free shipping.  It's a U.S. only affair, apologies England.

So far, I have found some cool still sealed trading cards and Garbage Pail Kids pins, which that in itself should be enough for anyone to grab a box.

All boxes ship on 8/18-8/21.  I don't make a huge profit, when all is said and done, but it does help pay the phone bill and art supplies, from time to time, and you get a cool box shipped to you with a ton of goodies.

Grab one or three at my store over at www.houseofschlock.com.  Supplies are limited, so once the first run is sold, that is it.  So, don't wait for too long, because there are some months when I sell out on the first week of any mention of a new Box of Schlock.

The Most Amazing Toy Display You Will Ever Witness

God bless YouTube user sammyb7883 for uploading this glorious six minute and thirty for seconds of video of a He-Man toy display from 1986. Now what make this video go from cool to mind melting amazing, are two reasons; the first is that this display was handmade with some serious craftmanship and it is the He-Man Universe that we all wanted as a kids come to life!  Seriously, there is some model making skills that went into this.  I don't know who made this, if it was a team of people, or some guy from ILM on his day off.  Whoever worked on this, may the gods bless their children and their grandchildren. Okay, now comes the second reason as to why this whole thing is damn amazing; the diorama display uses a hologram technology to bring He-Man and and more to life!  I mean, you can seriously watch He-Man fight off the bad guys right before your eyes.  Now, this is all because thanks to a Pepper's Ghost Illusion.  The same thing that brings ghosts to life in Disney's Hau

Halloween Sanders

In the last several months, I have started to become a bit obsessive over fast food mascots; mainly those from McDonald's Land and Harland Sanders aka the Colonel Sanders from KFC. So, imagine my surprise when I saw on my Facebook feed that KFC was selling a Harland Sanders (The Colonel) costume for only five bucks!  I quickly gave them some credit card numbers and a week later they sent me something that I can only describe as gloriously cheap and kitsch. The costume kit includes a plastic mask of the ghostly visage of Colonel Sanders, which was feels surprisingly sturdy, as I was expecting something that was more akin to a tissue thin dollar store mask, and a plastic bib that resembles his all white 1900's southernly gentleman's suit.  All of this bagged in a cheap bag with a stapled folded label, and believe me the label is, in itself, a thing of graphic design love. Now, of course, like most limited edition things that are fast food related, the costume sold out q

Japanese Halloween Candy

For this month's Box of Schlock, I didn't want to just throw in candy that any asshole can get from a Walmart or Dollar Tree.  Nope, I wanted to do something way different. As some of you may or may not know, I love Japanese candy, or what is better known as dagashi, which comparable to penny candy found in the states.  Each piece of dagashi is a wonderful display of graphic design weirdness and eating one is akin to playing Bean Boozled; you never know what the hell it's going to be.  Sure, I could use the Google Translate App, but I like to live my life dangerously with a dash of mystery on the side. Now, I may have ordered way too much Halloween Japanese dagashi, but I think it was worth it just for the photos alone and sweet Instagram hearts. Enjoy! I am not sure if it's something to get around customs, but each box that was delivered was listed as either as a gift or present.  It was even wrapped like some sort of birthday present, albeit, one that got
