Plaid Stallions 7th Anniversary Special & Contest

I’m happy to announce that today marks the 7th Anniversary of the Plaid Stallions blog, mostly because I remembered it before hand.  A lot has gone on since I first logged on that quiet Saturday afternoon and honestly, this whole thing has changed my life, entirely for the better. I thought it would be fun […]

What every hero needs

Any good hero has a flash light in their utility belt and fortunately for toy makers children never stop being fascinated with them. Crap, I still annoy my wife with one. Get our new book “Rack Toys” at our shop!

Meet the more interesting half of Knight Rider

Devlin found this photo at a junk store and submitted it to the blog. We have no idea who the girl is but she’s meeting K.I.T.T , most likely at a car show  and most definitely in the early 1980s. I love the home made banner. Knight Rider came out when I was 12, so […]

Backgammon Champ

This man always rolls double sixes when love is on the line. As an aside, had my father known this existed, he would have purchased it and worn it proudly. My dad loved Backgammon and even had a T shirt that proclaimed him “Backgammon champ”. I have to thank the heavens that he never discovered […]

Astro Nuts

No, it’s not the title of Don Knott/Tim Conway vehicle, although it should have been.  I Spied these awesome little guys at a toy show. I wish I had a ten thousand square foot toy room….

Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes Poster

I’ve had this for almost two years but it just recently dawned on me I’ve never shared it here. Things have been slow on the mall appearance submissions lately (please don’t make me beg, nobody needs to see that) so I thought I’d begin a series of my collection of Superhero appearance photos. This one […]
