Super 7 Merchandise Part 1
Filmation’s Tarzan and the Super 7 series is easily one of my favourite cartoon series of all time. It’s copyright infringing characters made me a fan for life, however merchandise for the series seems few and far between. However, it seems that rack toy manufacturer Imperial did have the license and exploited it nicely, here […]
Superfine XXX
Ladies beware, the brothers Superfine are once again on the prowl, with their fists raised in righteousness! Oh, there will be panties on the dancefloor tonight…
Hanging at Kool Stuff
This past Saturday, I got to spend a day at one of my favourite haunts Kool Stuff Toys in Hamilton. Jeff the owner was gracious enough to let me set up a small photo studio and take photos for my upcoming book “Rack Toys”. This not only filled some gaps I had but also gave […]
Nerd Therapy Session: (Super) Girl Trouble
For this installment, I’ll be skipping back to the mid 1970s, which is pretty appropriate considering this blog. Like many of you, I grew up in what was a golden age of action figures, the Mego era. We 70s kids had an amazing breadth of licensed characters and they were mostly all in the same […]

By 1978, the line’s look had begun to look dated so it was rebranded the “Sunshine […]
EMU Nightmares
One of the more endearing things I find about my wife is her childhood fear of Rod Hull and his puppet Emu. While I was enjoying them on “The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle” show, she was behind the couch in terror as a child and the sight of this puppet still creeps her out this day. […]
Bedtime: A New Hope
The sight of that bathrobe makes me say “Jar Jar who?”.
Reed Richards ride
When he’s not being totally boring, Mr Fantastic likes to cruise around in his awesome muscle car. What I love about this toy is the Fantastic Four have a totally cool space vehicle that they ride around in but the folks at Fleetwood went and made him a car instead. That’s like releasing a Batman […]
A reminder about Sweaters
Sweaters were put on this earth for two reasons, the first is to make you uncomfortable, the other is to make you look as silly as possible. I hate them, so should you.
