Some fun flash backs to the star-studded affair that was Toyfair 1976 that we’re posting in conjunction with the MegoMuseum above one of TV’s biggest celebrities; Lee Majors with (from left to right) Randolph Barton of Parker Brothers, Bernie Loomis of Kenner and Ted Betker of FunDimensions. What? You’re saying you’d like a little more manliness? […]
Just in case you forgot, the bicentennial happen during our lifetime (well I’m assuming you were alive in ’76) and there was no end of merchandise like this multiple toy makers Paul Revere play set. The play value on these and other bicentennial action figures always kind of escapes me but at least Revere has a horse and rifle, […]
The superhero stuff is cool but I must admit I’m really amused at the Matchbox car robe.
I love the card art on these Imperial jump ropes but it’s kind of funny how once you take your “super pro jump rope” out of the power, you’ve removed any and all relationship it had to Spider-Woman. It is now just “ordinary jump rope with red handles”. Check out our upcoming book!
How does one market some of the oddest, unflattering ensembles ever put to thread? By giving them the worst, slightly homoerotic name ever.

My pal Corey, a purveyor of amazing treats and the guy who gets a majority of my pay cheque (Seriously check out his Ebay auctions) sent me this photo of a Planet of the Apes store display from 1974. As a lover of all things POTA, it was a joy to see but the name […]
Looking at this vintage licensing ad stirs some emotion in me. I mean seriously, why were we not treated to “Bigfoot and Wildboy” action figures? We live in a world where got toys of “The Waltons” but the “Space Sentinels” seemed too risky? Agggghhhh, I’d almost be filled with rage were it not for that […]
Oh Lanny, it’s just been entirely too long…
