His estate sale is happening right now, and one of the items is a copy of the Lost Highway script that he owned. Was he just a Lynch fan, or was he ever considered for a role?
It made me wonder about the Mystery Man specifically. Reubens with the buzz cut and his whole look, weirdly isn’t that far off visually from Robert Blake in the movie.
Anyone ever heard anything about this?
I’m trying to identify this rocket-shaped object seen in the windows of Café 80s in Back to the Future Part II (1989).
I’ve spent hours searching and haven’t been able to find a match. I’ve looked through vintage toys, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners, banks, bottles/containers, NASA/space-themed merchandise, kaleidoscopes, etc., with no luck.
There are at least two of them visible in the Café 80s set: one has a blue top and another has a red top, which makes me think this was an actual commercially available object rather than something made specifically for the movie.
Obviously it has to date from 1989 or earlier, and it may have nothing to do with rockets or space at all. The shape might just be misleading me.
Does anyone recognize what this thing actually is, or remember owning something similar in the 70s/80s?
Anyone else encountered this issue?
Pictures I took on a school trip.

I somehow managed to track down the exact model of Lucky Charm that Louis Fyne checks right before singing "People Like Us" in True Stories.
To be clear, this isn't the screen-used prop. It's the same commercially available Lucky Charm ornament that was used in the film. From everything I could find, they're also pretty rare these days, so I was excited to finally track one down.
It's such a tiny detail that most people probably never notice, but for some reason it always stood out to me. I eventually figured out exactly what it was and managed to find one.
I know it's an incredibly obscure piece of True Stories memorabilia, but I figured a few people here might appreciate it.
Finally made a dream custom I’ve had in my head for ages: a TMNT android/Krang body concept, but reimagined as a turtle instead of the usual android shell.
Built using a 1990 movie Playmates Trench coat turtle figure as the base, with a lot of cutting, sculpting, and paint. Been wanting to see this exist since I was a kid.
Made my first custom using a 1990 movie Leo.
Kinda went with a “what if Leo turned into Casey” idea and tried to keep that old Playmates Casey Jones look. Not too clean, a bit rough.
Definitely not perfect but I’m happy with it for a first try!
