Back to School, Back to Binging: 6 Shows + Movies to Fall Back into the Shuffle

/0 Comments/in /by

That first crisp morning hits, the school supplies are picked over, and suddenly your Insta feed is 90% pumpkin spice. Huzzah, welcome back to fall. Whether you’re the one packing lunches or just packing away your summer flip-flops, this is peak season for cozying up with a good rewatch — and for us, that means it’s peak season for collectibles too. Here are 6 picks to get you back in that autumn/school groove, plus a few treasures to pair them with.

1. Freaks and Geeks (1999)


Nothing says “back to school” quite like this one-season wonder. Awkward hallways, killer soundtrack, a young cast that basically became Hollywood royalty. If you’re already feeling nostalgic for lockers you haven’t seen in years, this is your show. Pair it with any of our enamel pins or 1″ pop culture pins for that instant “I was there” cred.

2. Hocus Pocus (1993)

Fall doesn’t officially start until the Sanderson Sisters fly back into town. It’s the perfect back-to-school-meets-Halloween crossover — Max is the new kid trying to survive both bullies and witches. Like, who hasn’t been there, am I right? We’ve still got our Hocus Pocus statuette pieces in stock if you want the sisters watching over your desk this semester, or a cackle-perfect magnet to keep your fall schedule on your locker.

3. Stranger Things


Hawkins basically runs on a school-year calendar, and there’s nothing like watching the gang navigate homework and hellscapes simultaneously. Grab a Stranger Things t-shirt and let the gang guard your backpack — or your Upside Down snack stash.

4. Ghostbusters (1984)

“He slimed me” hits different once September rolls around and everyone’s back on a schedule. This is comfort-watch royalty, and honestly, a Zuul or Stay Puft figure on your desk makes even the most boring group project feel a little more heroic.

5. Gilmore Girls

Autumn in a small Connecticut town, endless coffee, and Rory heading back to school with a stack of books taller than her — this show is basically a love letter to fall. A cozy mug, stickers for your notebooks, or a puzzle are basically required viewing gear here.

6. Wednesday


Nevermore Academy gives us school AND spooky season in one perfectly moody package. If you haven’t picked up a Wednesday Addams figure yet, now’s your excuse — she’d probably judge your homework anyway, but she’d look great doing it from your shelf.

So whether you’re the one heading back to class, sending the kids off, or just riding the seasonal vibes from your couch, these six picks (and the collectibles that go with them) are here to make the transition from summer to fall feel like the best kind of homework. Grab a pumpkin spice something, press play, and let the nostalgia do the rest.

A Time of Thanks

/0 Comments/in , /by

With Thanksgiving sneaking up on us like a Nightcrawler attack, we wanted to take time to list a few things we are thankful for this year. So here are 6 things we couldn’t live without (in no particular order of course).

Books

Whether it’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or a Star Trek novel, we wouldn’t be anywhere without books. We are so grateful to be able to dive into the wonderful worlds given to us in books, sometimes over and over again.

Comics/Graphic Novels

The beautiful art that makes up a comic or a graphic novel has surely touched us all at some point. The stories told in near or far-off worlds through a mixture of art and text have given us understanding, justice, love… they’ve connected us to characters we always felt but never knew we needed. I personally went through a period where I only read X-Men. If I had to do it over again, I would do it the exact same way.

Movies/TV Shows

Now with movies and TV shows more readily available at our fingertips it is no surprise that they make our thankful-for list. Inspiring everything from creatures to set design, the films/shows we watch lift us up and also get our creative juices flowing. And when we have worked too hard and need to relax, we are thankful to have action movies that we cannot get enough of like Die Hard.

Action Figures

All of us wouldn’t be who we are without the toys that made us (and yes, that goes for the Netflix show as well). We are grateful for the re-used molds that brought us the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Friar Tuck figure. Just as we love, and always need, more Star Wars Action Figures regardless if they start to have silly names. He-Man figures with too many muscles that have to stand just so or just don’t make any character sense… yes, please!

Collectibles

 

While action figures are near and dear to our hearts, so are high-end collectibles with multiple points of articulation, high sculpture detail, multiple head and eye options, impeccable fabrications, realistic paint design, or sculptures that are top-to-bottom brilliant. After all, if we love it, we want to own it! #notashamed

Costumers

Above all, we are extremely thankful for all of our wonderful customers! We have the absolute best patrons and we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your lives throughout the years. Thank you so much for sharing your loves, or hates, with us. Thank you for your support be it for events, holidays, or just for coming in!
