So this morning I had a wonderful email containing photos of my pal Corey’s amazing collection of vintage Star Trek towels. I’ll be honest, I rarely thought of towels as a collectible (ok, I own like three) but now these are all I can think about. The rest of this breathtaking collection can be found after […]
So powerful was Jimmy Walker’s presence on “Good Times” that he was the recipient of two different plush novelties in 1976. Above the deluxe talking edition, which is the least terrifying looking plush on the page. A scowling plush of James Evans Sr (played by John Amos) that said things like “I’m gonna get my […]
Unlike today, Langely and Associates was one of those rare places in the mid 70s where you could buy fan merchandise, their catalog was loaded with everything from King Kong posters to a whole selection of 8″ by 10″ stills from “The Prisoner“. However, the big thing was a wonderful array of Star Trek merchandise, […]
They mention the TV Spots but I don’t think i have seen it in 40 years.

It’s a lot of fun to get reaquainted with some of this stuff, especially this super cool colorforms set of the Super Adventure Team. More after the jump! While […]
Earth Quake Tower has been mentioned before but it’s a toy so of it’s era and amazing I wanted to bringing it up again. An Irwin Allen movie for the toybox, there is no way in hell this would fly today and $17? What a bargain!
The Police Headquarters was not only my first Lego set but the toy designated to stay at my Grandmother’s house for when i visited. I had a million fun hours with that thing and even though my kids look at the blank faced figures like they’re caveman tools, so did they.
I’m not a huge gum card guy but Monster cards are an obvious exception that’s why this set of cards sent in by Matt make me smile, I’ll let him explain: Given the fact that the great Christopher Lee passed away this last year, I could think of nothing more fitting than this for my […]
