AU VODKA COCKTAILS
Those of us who were born in the 1970s and grew up in the 1980s, no matter what fandom(s) we’re part of, all now have at least one problem in common: the stuff we like has been around for about 40 years, and they just keep adding more ...

When I founded PSWCS, and then we started doing fundraisers for charity, I was pretty proud. A group dedicated to the acquisition of stuff doing something to give instead. I never imagined we'd go on to raise over $100K...
PSWCS.org and the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society mark a huge milestone for our charitable giving. With our 2025 gift of $7,400 to Special Olympics Pennsylvania, we have surpassed $100,000 in donations to charities. Our first fundraiser in 2009 benefited Operation Ward 57 and culminated in a visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where we handed out our Obi-Wan Kenobi medallions to wounded veterans. In 2014 we formed PSWCS.org and achieved 501(c)(3) status, allowing us to formalize our efforts. Since then, we've supported charities focused on helping burn survivors, shelter pets, veterans, foster children, active-duty military personnel, the homeless, and even a wolf sanctuary. We look forward to building toward our next $100,000 with our upcoming fundraiser, planning to launch in Q1 2026!

Total: $100,533

WING MAN SESSION I.P.A.
Back in the early, early developmental stages of Masters of the Universe, before that brand name had even coalesced, the team at Mattel were trying to come up with character ideas and names for this brash new line, which at the time, was going by the name ...

BREW DOG LOST LAGER / COMBINER WARS ULTRA MAGNUS
Lost Lager is a 4.5% ABV Brew Dog offering that is, on the whole, refreshing. As a lager should be. However, it has a bit of a sour note to it, almost from the get-go, and it lingers a bit in the ...

SANDFORD ORCHARDS' VINTAGE THE GENERAL
For some reason, most probably because of accidental copyright lapse, Mattel was unable to call the Masters of the Universe Snake Men character Rattlor . . . well, Rattlor . . . when it was time to release his action figure in 2003 for the New ...

Most of these big auction houses just sling a load of garbage out there. High-grade, acrylic-entombed, dirt-common Kenner production slop designed for the collector who wants to brag "This is the highest graded example!" As if that 85 on the sticker is anything but meaningless 10 minutes after AFA drops it in the mail. Well, it looks like at least Heritage Auctions is raising the game to legitimate rare collectibles!
Your typical Kenner 12-back? Produced in the millions. And tens of thousands out there in collections still mint-on-card. Hundreds upon hundreds that'd easily grade 85 or better. These figures? One of twenty. Or one of twenty-one. Or one of thirty. Actual rarity!
And check out all the nice things they said about the artist:
I don't know who wrote all that, but I want to hire the guy!
Needless to say I'll be keeping an eye on this lot. Hell of an opportunity for someone out there to pick up a "sweeping showcase or Cable's work!" I can confirm I did sell these directly to the seller, so they're legit. Good luck to all the fans of high-quality art out there who might go for this lot!

Believe it or fart up a rope, I didn't actually plan for this review to land so close to the premiere of Predator: Badlands, it just sort of happened serendipitously.
Anywho, what kind of middle-aged sci-fi fan are you if I have to explain this one? This is another excellent NECA ...

Crown Royal Blackberry Canadian Whiskey is delicious . . . so they say. I wouldn’t know. Normally, my mother-in-law is pretty good at snagging us a bottle or two of the limited edition seasonal releases. Not so last autumn, however. That stuff sold out before we even knew it was ...

Been wanting to do this one for ages, but I couldn’t find the action figure. But I finally did, and who better to team up with a beer called Bishop’s Finger than everyone’s favourite Artificial Person himself, Bishop, from Aliens, who accidentally nicked his finger when playing The Knife Game ...

Last week I took on a little project. I was set to attend the Steelers/Packers game with my good friend Steve Rensi, and since it was the game before Halloween, costumes were encouraged. I came up with an idea ideally suited to our collecting.
I picked up a couple Star Wars Halloween masks, with the intent of making them spectacular. The first task was to mask off what I didn't want painted...
Next up was a coat of primer. I also sprayed on multiple coats of clear on the inside of the 3PO mask, since it was pretty flimsy.
Followed that up with some glorious Steeler gold as the final finish on the 3PO and the base color of the Chewie.
At this point the 3PO was essentially done except for the Steeler logo. I knew I couldn't accomplish that by painting it by hand, so I ended up printing the logo on a vinyl sticker. Same thing with the Green Bay 'G'. But the Chewie mask required a ton more work. I spent nearly 4 days painting the green over the yellow to suggest fur. But all that work paid off!
We had a blast tailgating, and even ended up on the Football Night In America broadcast (if you squint really hard)...
Even though the game went terribly (Rensi disagrees), it was a blast repping Star Wars for the festivities.
