Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Mattel Suckerman Commercial
Happy Friday, here is another one from the recently digitized archive, the original commercial for Mattel’s Suckerman. Suckerman definitely fit in with the gimmick figures like Stretch Armstrong and Krusher, they could have formed a League to stop Stretch Monster and Gre-Gory. Enjoy.
Patio Mystery
Finally, I’ve solved the mystery of “Where did my parents get their patio furniture in 1975?” The answer is Sears, which considering we only had two department stores in town, really wasn’t that much of a “whodunit”.
The League of Extraordinary L’il Gentlemens
Their style tells everyone at the party, “I not only want Ice Cream with my cake, I demand it.”.
It’s Jigglin’ Time?
Behold the strangest bit of Marvel comic merchandise I have ever witnessed, it certainly beats Hulk Spider-Man toilet paper and that’s saying something. Behold “Jiggles and the Thing”, while that sounds like a Marvel team up between Tanya Roberts and Ben Grimm, it’s actually some sort of weird gelatin product. I’m not sure I’d eat […]

These kits were designed by Award winning Special Effects wizard Dick Smith, who did several kits for Pressman and I know at least one Oscar winner who was inspired by these as a kid. […]
Aw Yeah Mego Meet 2017!
This weekend marks the annual Mego Meet convention in Skokie, IL. I’ll be heading there to help out at the door, see old friends and spend money on things I probably don’t need. If you’re in the area, it’s a terrific show and we’d love to have you. If not, I’ll be posting live pics […]
Kenner Indiana Jones on Sale
This piece literally fell out of a drawer this morning, I find it wonderful that some kid kept this clipping for 30 years until it landed on my desk. For More Kenner Indiana Jones stuff, check out this page.
Star Wars Play Masks by Palitoy
The idea of Halloween style masks being marketed all year long is a wise one to me. I would have been all over this UK display.
