Doc Atomic is a collector of vintage toys from the “space craze” of the 50s and 60s. I like this bit from his “origins” post:

But soon, the second level kicked in and age began to matter. The vintage toys were a direct, physical connection to previous science-fiction and robot fans. They were owned and played with by some kid who might have been me if I’d been born a few decades earlier. I began to see the reproductions as merely models of how people today thought of the past. The original toys, though, felt like the actual memories.

The site is brand-new, but he’s already got plenty of posts that lovingly detail his rayguns and robots. Gorgeous stuff.
