I Love Weird Film & TV Stuff

Most of what I collect is music related; CDs, music video compilations and live concerts on DVD and blu-ray, the odd poster, t-shirt and baseball cap. But I also love the occasional weird film or television related product, like the “The X-Files: Is the Truth Out There?Little Golden Book, and I’ve since spotted a few items related items I have since added to my Wishlist, like the “A Is for Alien: An ABC Book” and “JAWS: Big Shark, Little Boat! A Book of OppositesLittle Golden Books

I haven’t collected any music related Funko Pops yet, mainly because I’m sure I would spend way too much on them. But a new Jaws Funko Pop has caught my eye, which will be released on December 30th this year in Canada.

The British will get it earlier on September 10th and Americans will get it on September 30th so I’m hoping I might get it earlier, along with the Jaws Little People Collector Set, which has been available for a while. But yeah, Funko Pops would definitely be a dangerous rabbit hole for me.

A Def Leppard one here, a Queen one there… It would add up quick. 🙂

Yeah, I’m not made of money so I’m very, very picky when it comes to collectibles. And the only figurine I have ever purchased was a die cast metal figure of Gort from the original 1951 version of “The Day The Earth Stood Still“, which was made by Rocket USA.

I am somewhat interested in “The Prisoner” collectibles like the Mini Moke Taxi, but I’m not going to break the bank for them. And I’d actually rather purchase the ever elusive Japanese version of Platinum Blonde‘s “Standing In The Dark” before dumping hundreds on one of those. It’s the only LP i’m missing from the band.

Priorities. Priorities.

BTW, you can stream The Prisoner for free on PLEX and watch “The Day The Earth Stood Still” on Apple TV, if you like classic films and television that is. And yes, like I said. I like weird stuff. 🙂

Hysteria’s 25th Anniversary

Def Leppard’s “Hysteria” was released 25 years ago, today. And though this isn’t a Canadian album, I thought I’d bump it because is is one of my favorite metal albums of all time.

Unfortunately the album is unavailable online due to a dispute in-between the band and it’s label. But live performances of many of the hits found on this album have been released on Mirror Ball – Live & More.
