1978 Popy Toys Catalog
Oh Japan, how i love thee. The Popy Toy Corporation is not terribly well known to North Americans but their influence definitely had an impact on us.

The Bacchus 3
As much as I’ve tried to convince folks in the toy industry that action figures based on Mystery Science Theater 3000 would be a good thing, I’m pretty sure it ain’t happening. That’s why I was pretty elated to discover this toy ship in an old catalog recently, it’s the Bacchus 3 from a Japanese tv […]

Eventhough much of the man’s output was done before Jason and Brain were even an idea, their timeless quality has fans talking about them to this day. The guys show the evolution in puppets from […]
The Mego Wiz
Wizard of Oz merchandise seems commonplace today but in 1975, when Mego nabbed the toy license it was a huge, hairy deal. The company actually put one of the film’s producers on their board of directors and for Toy fair reunited the living cast members, the orders flowed like melted butter. The remaining cast of […]
