Superb Knits with Fancy Bottoms
That’s it, I’m officially changing my last name to “Fancybottom”, I’d be stupid not to…
Super 7 Puffy Stickers by Imperial Toys
It’s been a while since I got anything new in my quest to own all merchandise from my favourite saturday morning show, Tarzan and the Super 7. Lucky for me I found a sweet deal on a complete set of Imperial stickers based on all the characters! More after the jump.
The Humble Origins of Kenner Star Wars Part 2
Just a follow up to last week’s post about the late start that Star Wars got toy wise. In the very same toy trade magazine that nonchalantly showcased the photo of Lucas meeting with Kenner execs had this impressive add from Ideal at the very front. Ideal invaded alright, the company worked very fast to […]
Cul-De-Sac Kings
There is no monkey business on Jefferton Court when these two are on the case.
The Dynamic Duo nab the Penguin
i’m almost positive this slide comes from a former Kenner file, especially seeing as these are the suits used in the mid 80s to promote the Super Powers brand. I’m loving that Batman suit…..

1975 Amsco Toy Catalog

Mighty Men of Action and Adventure
I’ve posted bits of this before in the dial up days but I don’t think I’ve shown the whole ad. I’m just in awe, I’d wear the majority of these right now especially the Famous Monsters and Tarzan. Also, it’s weird to see Shazam! designs yet only one Batman.
Ideal Dorothy Hamill and her ice skating rink
Growing up some kid told me she was Luke Skywalker’s real life sister and I believed that until the mid 1990s…
The Humble Origins of Kenner Star Wars
I’ve been digging around in vintage Toy Trade publications this past month and let me tell you, 1977 was not prepared for what hit it. Above is a piece from the summer of 1977 showing George Lucas and Gary Kurtz visiting Kenner, it’s pretty bland and certainly doesn’t give the impression that the whole game […]
