I dug up this VHS tonight, I’ve held for Twenty-five years when “King Video” in Oshawa was going under; it was, like, one of the first local chains in the area, so being a media junkie, I made damn sure to check it out. While my biggest regret was not buying the entire dump bin […]
With the announcement that Bandai is releasing the Jumbo Machinder line starting with Mazinger-Z, I just had to dig up this early 1970s toy flyer with the toys themselves. This page, with its Henshin Cyborg, diecasts, and Microman, is somewhat overwhelming to take in. We 70s kids, of course, know Machinders as “Shogun Warriors,” […]

Kenner Bionic Woman Designer Dresses (eBay Link) — Catalogue mailer items are one of those things I admire, and as a toy collector, I feel they add a charm to everything. I don’t collect Bionic Woman, but I think this set is unique. yes, I know water stains are gross; I get it, but it’s […]
I plan to take a more comprehensive look at this 1972 toy catalogue from Japan’s Bullmark, but today, I just want to spotlight this fun page. There is something so infectious about this wall of inflatable Japanese Superhero bop bags; there is no way these wouldn’t have blown my mind as a kid. […]
