All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
On this episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at #DearDiary. This little #gem was released from 1995 (as far as I can tell) until around 1999, then was incorporated into other #TigerElectronics toys up through 2005, in organizers and #DataBlasters. I take a look at my small collection of Dear Diaries & ponder... why... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at something that literally spells out what it is... #CopycatJr! This handy little toy was produced in 1996 & is a spin-off of the earlier #Copycat #handheldhames from the 70's and 80's, in the fashion of #Simon by #miltonBradley/#hasbro and #TouchMe by #Atari. How does this... Continue Reading →
Long before #Mp3Players such as the #iPod & #Zune, #TigerElectronics came out with one device that shook up the #music & #toy industry! #HitClips, of course! These little wafers contained 1-2 minutes of a #song, usually a #pop song from the era, and there were a ton of ways to play them, from the #DanceBot... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #BCB, I begin my first #StoreTour! In this premiere episode, I #visit #Grayskull #Toys and #Collectibles! This store is inside of #CottonwoodMall, a #mall on the #westside of town near where I live that's still alive and kicking! Grayskull features #vintage #games & #toys, #cards, #comics, and even some hidden #surprises... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #TigerBling, I take the wraps off of #TheBotster #Robot by #TigerElectronics from 2001. This little gem was only produced for one year, from what I can gather from the web, but he's an adorable little talkative devil, complete with an energy pack for when he gets hungry or irritable. I unbox... Continue Reading →

On this inaugural episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at #ThePoochi, which was produced from 2000-2002 by #tigerelectronics. It was a take on the #idog which they previously sold. The #Poochi (or Poo-Chi) is more or less a #robotic #dog, who would #bark, #pant, #growl & more! Finally, after some history, I rank this... Continue Reading →
Coming this #Summer to #BCB! #TigerBling! My new series about the most outrageous #toy & #game#company ever! #TigerElectronics, of course!

On this special edition of #BCB, it's my 1,000th #video on #YouTube! I'm #celebrating by picking up right after where my very first episode of #BallistikCoffeeBoy aired, back in Sept 2021! I discuss my favorite YouTube #memories of creating the channel, in all its glorioius (and not so glorious) incarnations. Come along w/ me and... Continue Reading →
