coming from the great white north right to your house, Bob & Doug, the one and only McKenzie Brothers!

in 1980 SCTV introduced the world to its two favorite hosers Bob & Doug McKenzie who were played by Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas (not the Wendys guy!). They also managed to put out 2 comedy records and a movie and now you can have them on your mantle!

Don’t be a hoser… buy these action figures!!

Lord Stanleys Cup!

By josh | Published 05/25/2010

Hockey playoffs are over, but as a Bruin fan for me they have been done for a couple of weeks now. Now we’ve gotta see if Philly or Chicago wins. I think that since Philly beat Boston and the Blackhawks remind me of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, I’m rooting for Chicago, but it doesnt matter that much.

If you win this auction it you can bust out some action figures and anyone you want can win the cup this year. Maybe Leonardo, Donatello & Iron Man, Snake Eyes & Indiana Jones, Optimus Prime & Gene Simmons… the possibilities are endless!

The seller is throwing in a few scale size water bottles & hockey pucks for good measure too!

Gerry Cheese!

Gerry “the Cheese” Cheevers may not have been the greatest NHL goalie of all time, but he is definitly one of the most iconic! Pretty much all hockey fans know the visual and the story behind Gerrys famous goalie mask.

The iconic stitch-pattern goaltender mask came after a puck hit him in the face during practice. Cheevers loved to skip practice so after being hit he went to the locker room. Bruins coach Harry Sinden followed him and found Cheevers enjoying a beer and smoking a cigarette. Coach Sinden told Cheevers, who wasn’t injured, to get back on the ice. In jest, John Forestall, the team trainer, painted a stitch mark on his mask. From that day forward Gerry continued to paint stiches on his mask whenever he was hit in the face.

A friend of mine went to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and one of the things he hoped to see was the Cheevers mask. After walking though the museum and not seeing it they asked one of the tour guides about the mask. He was told that the mask had been there for awhile, but Mr. Cheevers asked for it back and that his grandson was wearing it to play street hockey. I read that since then they have a replica on display in the Hall of Fame and that the mask hangs on Gerrys grandsons bedroom wall. Thats awesome!!

Here is the McFarland Toys figure of Gerry in his black ‘Home’ jersey…
