I can’t believe summer’s over! Being a September baby I kind of enjoyed the whole back to school season as a kid, here is me doing my best to blend into the walls of my grade school. My mother took this same picture without fail until I asked her to stop, this morning my son […]
In an effort to combat the end of summer blues, I’ve dig deep to the days of Pegboard and regional toy stores to bring the 16th edition of our vintage toy stores feature. Installment 16 features old favorites such as the Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man, Barbie, the Osmonds, Atari, Fisher Price, Mego […]

The book promises you can “relive all excitement and adventure from the movie” but as we all know, crosswords and poorly thought out games rarely […]
The 1979 Disney sci fi spectacular “The Black Hole” didn’t quite become the next Star Wars but the film did make an impression on a lot of us until the Empire Strikes back made us forget all about it. The merchandising bonanza lead by Mego was particularly memorable. In the UK, the brand was handled by Louis Marx […]
Because bell sleeves are perfect for every occasion.
