Punch the Marvel Heroes
Because it’s always fun to hit the good guys….
Wormee, Squirmles and Frizzlies?
Finding this ad for “Wormee” by Imperial Toys made me realize that this toy concept has been around non stop for 40 years, under multiple names. My dad sold these as “Squirmles” back in the day, to the best of my knowledge this was the brand everybody ripped off: You can see a display box […]
Luxury in Suede Leather
Wait, Leather and Wool? Sign me up, I love sweating while sitting.
Marvel Superheroes Go Bowling
After a long week of travel, I’m pretty psyched to take my family to see the latest Marvel movie. I absolutely love this piece by GLJ toys and the fact that never in my wildest dreams did I think that some day I’d have seen all of these characters on those bowling pins multiple times […]
Robot Man with 4 Faces
I’ve mentioned this Maskatron rip off before in our countdown of Bionic Knock Offs but I’ve always wanted to circle back to it because it’s such a wonderful attempt to capture as many genres as possible with one cheap toy, so let’s have a more detailed look shall we? First off, the card art itself […]
Dramatic Double Knit Shirt
The “Gene Roddenberry collection for men” was one of Montgomery Ward’s hottest properties in 1971.
Uggly Wugglies
Oh I’m positive I had a bunch of these and certainly don’t remember the name or the delicious box art.
The Magnificent Walking Suit!
Released in 1973, “The Magnificent Walking Suit” was the least successful Marvel comics title in the company’s history.
Spider-Man meets Kamen Rider V3
I’m packing up PlaidStallions HQ for an eventual move and this fluttered across my desk, it’s a Japanese post card for the Toei Spider-Man series and for some reason, they included Kamen Rider V3. I prize it dearly. I’ve had this card since highschool, it was gifted to me by fellow toy collector and friend […]
When the Jedi Return: Make sure your troops are ready
I love this neat British Ad for Palitoy UK, who were pretty confident they were going to sell football fields full of Star Wars toys (psssst they did). I’m especially smitten with these drawings of the figures which are there because the ad was placed so far in advance of the film.
