That Conan vs Tarzan set is the coolest item that I never knew existed. And I had no idea Mego produced anything beyond Superhero figures. Wow.

I think I would rather have the KISS figures than the Mego Waltons figures or Our Gang figures, at least they could be crazy looking villains to fight the World's Greatest Super-Heroes, but John Boy is just a dude in overalls. It's a force to be reckoned with, whether worn fiercely like the women above or in a more traditional style like the one in this dashing self-portrait: Just call BR-549.

No interest in action figures/dolls/whatever you want to call them, but I have to say that the image of Conan and Tarzan squaring off on the back of that box is so sweet - done by no less than the guy who's pretty much my definitive artist for both characters, John Buscema. Now I so regret that the story behind that image was never done by Marvel back in the late '70s, when they still had the Tarzan license. Would have been a great story for an issue of Savage Sword, or a Tarzan annual, or - the best possible option - a Treasury Edition.

I think I may have a new Holy Grail. I feel I must have a Dobrato.

I think I may have a new Holy Grail. I feel I must have a Dobrato. I loved the sounds that this guitar makes ... Congratulations!

My apple computer is not booting up and after calling their hotline, I have to take it to the Apple Store. My Wife says it's under warranty but I think she's wrong. It was repaired about a year ago for water damage which I think that voided anything that was in effect. I'm doing all my geek work on my iPad which is slower and without all my files.

I don't play. I always mean to learn, but never do. I have fooled around with my son Nathan's steel guitar. I just love the look. My other guitar love is the Gibson Trini Lopez sunburst.

Gibsons are serious instruments though, so I imagine it sounds and plays great. Myself, the electric guitar I've always wanted the most is a Rickenbacker 360 Jetglo... The lines of that guitar are just sex on a stick, as far as I'm concerned, and the classsic jangly Rickenbacker sound is just to die for. I'd also quite like a Fender Jaguar, which was originally a surf band guitar, but these days is more closely associated with alternative rock bands...

Good news bad news - my computer works but apple has to wipe all my files to do it. All my pictures are pretty much backed up but my geek scans are all gone.
