As much I enjoy the mockery, the one part I take pretty seriously are early to mid seventies leather jackets, to me, they are a zenith of cool. My closet is full of them much to the chagrin of my normally understanding wife. When she does eventually throw me out, my front lawn will look […]
Elegant, classy and state of the art. Now with 60% less wrist fires!
‘Marlin Perkins Wild Kingdom” by Whitman Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom will forever remind me of Sunday afternoons at my grandparents in that wasteland of TV that limited channels brought you in the 1970s. It was an oasis between Lawrence Welk and golf. Oddly I am obsessed with Lawrence Welk shows now. Even as a […]
Also from Mathew is this shot of Man E Faces at the same Toys R Us Skeletor was in. Great costume! Also in the picture is the lessor known MOTU character, Clerk-o! Thanks Mathew! Send me your mall appearance photos!
Several months before it’s TV Debut Mattel Toys debuted their merchandise based on the upcoming series titled “Code Name: Galactica” which we all would come to know as “Battlestar Galactica”. 20th Century Fox would promptly ligitate the makers of Galactica for copyright infringement but the one thing that Galactica had over Star Wars was the […]

I always buy jewelry that sounds like middle of the road porno mags, nothing classier, nothing better for a fancy discerning gentleman such as myself. “If he drinks right from the Carton and then puts it back in the fridge, totally empty, he’s a Swank man”
A real good example of the “What the?” nature of rack toys, this set depicts Laverne and Shirely, two brewery workers as secretarys but also has some scale issues. Is this for dolls? Then why the gigantic calculator and pencil? if it’s a role play item what’s with the tiny, useless book case, I’m getting a […]
Another fun trip down memory lane courtesy of the JC Penney toy flier. The Penney Flier always kind of went a step up normal advertising and this 1983 brochure looks more like a cool comic book than an advertisement. 1983 is a great example to have thanks to the metric ton of iconic 80s toys […]
