Description: Mask-a-tron. Is he a man, robot, or cyborg? I can tell you that it was one of my favorite toys as a child. Kenner could do no wrong in the 70's.

Description: One of my favorite scenes in Battle of the Planets is when Mark changes into G1. It's still my favorite part when I now watch the original Gatchaman... Bird GO!

Description: A rough, yet elegant banner. The pattern on the banner holds meaning too. Heihachi, the woodcutting samurai, makes it for them, and it reflects some of his whimsy and quiet mischief. The six circles on the top represent the six "proper" samurai in their company. The symbol at the bottom means "tanbo" or rice paddy. It's supposed to represent the farmers who the samurai are defending. (It's interesting that the samurai each get their own symbol, but the farmers are still lumped into one big group; some class differences are still in place). Between them stands a triangle representing Kikuchiyo: the outsider of the bunch who stands balanced between the samurai and the peasants they're protecting.

Description: If you remember these, you are cool. If you still have some, you are beyond cool. A 45 rpm adapter (also known as a 45 rpm record insert, 45 rpm spindle adapter, spider, or 7-inch adapter in reference the usual size of a 45 rpm record) is a small plastic or metal insert that goes in the middle of a 45-rpm record so it can be played on the standard size spindle of a turntable. The adapter may be a small solid circle that fits onto the spindle (meaning only one 45 could be played at a time) or a larger adapter that fits over the entire spindle of a record changer, permitting a stack of 45s to be played. These larger adapters allowing multiple records to be played are often referred to as 45 spindles.

Description: The one thing that I found visually stunning, other than Patrick Duffy or his swimming style, was the spiral symbol that he bore on his trunks. I can recall drawing that symbol over and over when I was 7. I wanted to sport one myself, so here we are.
