Sales Kings
You are looking at the greatest pantyhose salesmen the St Louis area will ever know. Their tales are the stuff of airport bar legend…
1974 Chemtoy Catalog
Chemtoy was one of America’s premiere producer of lower cost novelties and Rack Toys during the 60s and 70s. Their offering for 1974 was a fun mix of generic staples like bubbles, paddle balls, toy guns that you can still find to this day. On the licensing side they had everything from Batman to the […]
Parker Brothers Video Games
Parker Brothers really seemed to dominate my video game purchases in the early eighties and seeing this toyfair ad from ’83 made me smile. They had my favourite arcade game of all time (Tutankham) and the Star Wars license, so my loyalty was assured… If I didn’t have one of their games, it surely was […]
Slumber Party Hijinx
Sadly, the fun evening was ruined when a heated debate over whether Jaws 2 cards were worth as much as Empire Strikes Back in “flipsies”, caused Richard to call his mom to pick him up.* (*based on a true story and for the record, Empire Strikes Back were totally worth at least two of your […]
Presto Magix Batman

Odeon Toys Presents: Captain Canuck
I’m proud to finally announce that Odeon’s latest action figure, Captain Canuck is now available to order. For years, I had been struggling to find an iconic Canadian character to bring to market, many of the attempts dissolved when rights weren’t clear. Which was kind of a bummer. Thanks to my friend and partner in […]
Headquarters for Evel Knievel Action Products
Discovered this in some documents featuring Ideal toys from 1976 that I’ll feature on the site in the very near future, a photo of the different Ideal toys store displays, the belle of the ball being Mr Knievel. The displays for Mousetrap and the Junkyard game are particularly inspired, I miss the days of paintings […]
The Saga of Crystar Crystal Warrior
I stumbled on this great toy fair ad for Crystar today and it reminded me of the first time I saw the line in a Liesure World as a kid (a store that rarely carried action figures BTW). Remco and Marvel teamed up on this and it seemed like it would have been a big […]
