Conquest of Mars
Larami Martian Chronicles A new action figure gallery today, this one deals with the short lived action figure line based on the Martian Chronicles TV mini series, Rack Toys manufacturer Larami were the licensors for this one but they didn't spend a lot of time developing it as you'll see in the Martian Chronicles Action Figure Gallery .

More AHI Monsters
AHI Monster toys We've completely revised the AHI Monsters Gallery including new variations of the 8" figures, more packaging shots, more wind up monsters and even new Jigglers. If you're a fan of either rack toys or classic monsters check it out at the AHI Super Monsters Gallery here.

Star Wars UK Style!
palitoy Star WarsHappy to announce this new catalog and toy gallery, this time dealing with how Star Wars was marketed in the UK, the 1979 Palitoy catalog shows some UK exclusives and a few rare prototype items, on top of that we have my pal Bill's carded Palitoy collection to oggle, it's win/win!. Check out the cool new Palitoy 1979 Star Wars Gallery .

Big Wheel Is Big Deal
Marx Big Wheel Few things personify life in the 1970s more than the Marx Big Wheel, a truly great reinvention of the Tricycle, this plastic primary coloured bit of fantastic was parked in more garages in my neighbourhood than Volare station wagons. Check out the entire 1975 Marx Big Wheel Catalog here.

It Never Stops Hurting Department.
Last Starfighter Toys The Last Starfighter is one of those undeservedly forgotten SF films from the mid 1980s and what's even more bothersome is that Galoob planned to release a whole whack of action figures based on the film but sadly never did. Yet we got Love Boat action figures, how is that fair? You can check out the inherant coolness of the Galoob Last Starfighter Toyline here.

Illogical But Fun Anyway.
remco star trek toys Happy to unveil this cool gallery dedicated to some of the rarest Star Trek toys on earth! Many of these unique (and sometime downright weird) items were sold briefly while the show was still on the air and many are somewhat shrouded in mystery. Check out the cool new Classic Star Trek Toy Gallery..

Viva Zorro!
gabriel Zorro Hot off the heels of their succesful Lone Ranger line, Gabriel hit out of the park with these great toys based on the Filmation Zorro Cartoon series in 1982. Check out this fun little line at the Gabriel Zorro Action Figure Gallery.

Hulk Save at K Mart
Hulk Mego at KMartTime for another fun vintage Toy Newspaper circular, this time from KMart, the savings place and it features fun stuff like Mego Superheroes, Tonka Trucks and Star Wars Play Doh, start your wishlist with the 1978 KMart Toy Flier!.

Blast Balls with Gordy
Gordy Ball Blaster SupermanAnother voyage into the strange and charming world of cheap-o rack toys, this time it's 1980 and we're looking at Henry Gordy co, a purveyor of Battle of the Planets and Superhero merchandise like Hulk Putty and the lamentably named Superman Ball Blasters, it's all in the 1980 Henry Gordy Catalog..

Dare to Visit the Monster Gallery
monster gallery coloring book The Good folks from Creepsylvania.com were kind enough to send me scans from this awesome early Seventies Monster Coloring Book, the art is good you wouldn't put crayons to it. Are you brave enough to visit The Monster Gallery by yourself?.
We Are Not Alone
close encounters of the third kind In 1978, Rack Toy Manufacturer Imperial Toys snapped up the licensing rights to Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and it was the selling point of their 1978 Catalog. However, Imperial also made a lot fun toys in the "Rubber Snakes and Monsters" vein that seem to be the real stars. Check out The 1978 Imperial Toys Catalog .
Release the Kraken...to Retail.
mattel Clash of the Titans Catalog In 1981, Mattel toys licensed what would be cinema magician Ray Harryhausen's last movie, Clash of the Titans. It turned out to be only midly successful and Mattel cancelled such cool things as the Playset we have featured. You can see it all for yourself in the 1981 Mattel Clash of the Titans Catalog..

Mattel Toy Fair Showroom in 1975
mattel barbie showroom in 1975 One heck of a neat-o update if you're a toy geek (and why would you visit this site if you weren't?), thanks to a good friend I've obtained shots of the 1975 Mattel Barbie and Big Jim Toy Fair Show Rooms. Probably the first time they've been since 1975, it's all here, the planes, the dune buggys, the campers, Big Josh and Ken, see it all right here!.

The Hottest Trick or Treat in the World!
collegeville halloween costumes 1979 Our final Halloween costume Catalog this season is again from Collegeville, the year is 1979 and KISS is the biggest thing ever, if you're a sci fi kid there's Battlestar Galactica and for the fantsy nerds there is Lord of the Rings. It's fun and trippy and weird how so little has changed, check out the 1979 Collegeville Costume Catalog.

Monster Crime Fighters
the monster squad merchandise gallery The 1976 Saturday morning series "The Monster Squad" combined the classic movie Monsters with the antics of the live action "Batman" series of the 60s and I admit, I was hooked. While only lasting one season, a surprising amount of merchandise was planned and/or released, check out the Monster Squad Merchandise Gallery for some spooky fun!

Laverne and Shirley meet the Incredible Melting Man
collegeville halloween costumes 1978 The second in our trifecta of Costume Catalogs this October, the 1978 Collegeville catalog is a fun mix of popular tv and movie characters along with cheezy Star Wars rip offs. It's a great mix of cool and lame, lots of fun to be found in the 1978 Collegeville Costume Catalog.

Remco Monsters!
Remco Catalog The 1983 Remco Catalog really showed the early 80s interest in sword and socery properties, including comic characters such as Crystar and Warlord. The universal monster toys are still hanging in there, including a new line called "Monsters At Home", visit the the 1983 Remco Catalog.
