While I had (briefly) “grown out” of action figures by 1983, I still liked to shove my face up against the bakery window so to speak. Revell’s Power Lords were probably the most intriguing to me as they were so….uncommercial in their designs. To be honest, their designs looked almost frightening and appealed to my […]

Today’s update is the answer to one of those riddles that plagued for years. The play set you see above has been something I’ve been trying to track down for well over 20 years and it’s a wealth of toy history (and re-used molds) inside, more after the jump. Despite the Woolco price tag on […]
