I would like that Sesame Street Play Set now. I doubt these foam bendies survived. […]
‘Well, ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ has come and gone, with nary a word said about it. We were so shocked, we decided to step up and finally give it the attention it’s been lacking a whole month later.

There was something so incredibly cool about a time when a company could have both the Marvel and […]
Hasbro was pretty adept at marketing the G.I. Joe line to kids as evidenced by this 1974 newsletter sent to members of “The Adventure Team”. For a $1.50 you got all kinds of cool swag plus this newsletter, which was filled with stories and a pile of material lifted from the Hasbro catalog. Seeing this […]
