This past weekend while I set up at Canadian Toycon, my son made a comment about what he hoped to find and how I’ll probably go home with nothing, as usual. This is usually the case, as I’m pretty much into oddball things while he loves that unsold Star Wars prequel merchandise, toy shows are pretty much […]
If you have more than 2% body fat Mellow Yellow may not be the look for you. Consult a mirror before purchasing.
Mattel’s Flying Aces were an elaborate take on the paper airplane, the planes were made of soft foam and the flight deck served as a launcher. Those who had it or the Battlestar Galactica version have mentioned that the planes had a short life but were fun nonetheless. In 1978, the line was three years […]

The folks at Good Old Vintage sent over a snap of this awesome Captain America appearance poster, sadly it’s already been sold. As a collector of such things, it’s amazing to see a poster for Cap, who likely less in demand than Spider-Man. I heart this…. Send me your mall appearance photos!
Seeing as it’s back to school time, no catalog makes more sense than Diener, who specialized in rubber figurines, erasers and pencil toppers. Essentially the inexpensive toys disguised as School supplies you could sneak into school. Looking at this thing brought a flood of memories to me, as it’s an inventory of stuff I […]
As I’ve mentioned multiple times, my parents denied me the Weeble experience, as we were a devout Fisher Price Little People family. Life was good, so I’m not complaining but the grass always looked pretty green in Weeble-ville.
