This Is The Empty Box You're Looking For: How The First Kenner 'Star Wars 'Toys Came To Be
Star Wars means two very different things for Mego Corporation and Kenner Products. For the Mego Corporation, Star Wars is a reminder of bad timing and painful hindsight. For Kenner Products, Star Wars marks the beginning of a propitious partnership of opportunity that began an action figure legacy the envy of toy companies across the globe.

Starcraft: The Board Game at 10
StarCraft: The Board Game would have reached its 10th birthday this year if it wasn’t for its untimely death in 2011. In its four-year lifespan, the candle burned twice as bright with a Brood Wars expansion and a Blizzcon Typhon planet promo. This was a beautifully produced child of Fantasy Flight Games with Blizzard Entertainment’s input and designed by Christian T. Petersen and Corey Konieczka.

Ken: He’s Just an American Guy
The artifact historically known as Ken — a template for male American imagery for generations — has always been something of a moving target. From his early days as a miniature stand-in for the ideal guy next door in the parallel dollhouse America of 1961 (paired up with his girlfriend, female analog and fellow everyday archetype, the legendary Barbie), Ken would slowly, in some ways glacially, come to symbolize variations in the idea of the average American guy.

STARZ Spartacus Geek Auction
“I am Spartacus!” Yes, I know it’s a meme, but it's been around since before memes even really existed—and I know that because I really love that movie. As much as I liked the classic film, I enjoyed the STARZ network television series even more.

'The Walking Dead' Geek Auction
I want to start this off by saying that I'm a huge, huge fan of The Walking Dead. Even before it was a television series, I was one of those geeks who snapped up every single comic book out there...or, in my case, did what I could to borrow my friends' copies. The more I got into the world of Rick Grimes and the survivors, the more I wanted to see what happened.

Weirdest Funko Characters
Dolls became action figures when boys started buying them in the 1970s. My first doll was a Six Million Dollar man aka The Bionic Man played by Lee Majors in the iconic TV series. But there was still a dividing line between boys and girls when it came to dolls/action figures. Funko Pop changed all that. It has reshaped the action figure industry and immortalized many an iconic pop culture character. And they have created a few really weird "dolls" along the way.
