Our latest product line coming in-stock features In Living Color. For those of you too young to know about In Living Color, let us throw some names at you: Jim Carrey, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier, Jennifer Lopez, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans. Have you heard of any of these people? We bet you have and they all started on FOX, Sunday nights at 8PM. The show premiered in 1990 and ended in 1994 with the loss of Keenan Ivory Wayans and Damon Wayans along the way (among others) with disputes with FOX. It’s almost certain if FOX treated the creator and head of the show with greater respect, In Living Color would have been on the air for many seasons later.
In Living Color brought to us all sorts of memorable characters including Handi Man, Anton Jackson, Firemarshall Bill, Homeboys Shopping Network, Homey the Clown, The Head Detective among many others. Our new In Living Color products include several of these characters with their likeness on stickers and pins.
