The Autumn Society is an awesome collective of illustrators and fine artists who seem just as obsessed with nostalgia as I do. Well, this Friday they’re hosting the 80s Toy Show at Brave New World Comics, and I really wish I could be there.

There will be a lot of art there that I would be glad to put on my wall, including the Transformers by Dave Perillo. You may remember Dave’s Ghostbusters art I posted last year.

If you’re in the area and check it out, I’d be glad to post some photos from the event.

I don’t get too excited about retro TV shows getting the big Hollywood reboot these days, but these new toys from the A-Team movie are looking pretty incredible. They’re coming out with 3.75″ and 12″ action figures, but I think most people are going to be interested in the awesome van pictured above. It’s been a while since I’ve bought any toys from a new movie, but I could totally see myself getting the van and the A-Team to go on a shelf in the office.

What do you think?

Remember those awesome DVD sets of Saturday Morning Cartoons from the 60s and 70s I reviewed? Well, since I got my hands on those sets, my biggest hope is that we would get a 80s set, and thanks to Warner Bros we finally did.
