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 […]
Japanese Evel Knievel
I’m back from Mego Meet and I bring many virtual presents in the form of the sights I encountered there. Let’s start with this, a Popy Evel Knievel stunt set or as they dubbed it “The Evel Knievel Challenge Machine”. I had to do some Guerilla photography on this one because it had just been […]
Pressman Space Creatures Commercial
Another goody from the archive! The Pressman Space Creatures Mask Kits are a wonderfully Star Wars inspired idea that I adore. 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!

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.
Super Slickers
My mom bought me a Sesame Street rain slicker this year (1978), I remember being a little embarrassed wearing it as many of my peers were wearing KISS shirts at this point. I honestly would have loved the Six Million Dollar Man or Star Trek ones pictured here.
The Mattel Shogun Warriors Collection Commercial
I am thrilled to unveil this new transfer from my collection. This is the Mattel Shogun Warriors collection diecast commercial that I doubt I’ve seen since I was nine. I have a few more like this coming up this summer. Hope you enjoy!
