Fantom 4
I’m pretty sure this amazing little hovercraft appeared on at least one of my Christmas wishlists, it was sadly the one that got away..
Obi-Wan has taught you Frogger well
Darth Vader playing Atari cira 1983, it doesn’t get better than that. Send me your mall appearance photos!
1978 European Big Jim Catalog
Mattel’s Big Jim line may have been gone from US toystores in 1977 but he had a long and prosperous life in Europe up until the mid 1980s thanks to some very creative moves. Big Jim was no longer just a sportsman/spy in this new world but a character free of the constraints of time, […]
When atheletes were underpaid
Here we have Jim “Catfish” Hunter, pitcher for the Oakland A’s modeling something from the “Jimmy Olsen collection”. This brings me back to a happy time when my hockey and baseball cards had a guaranteed 70% moustache ratio…
Adventure 2000
I absolutely adored toys like Matchboxes “Adventure 2000” as a boy and was really disheartened as an adult in the actual year 2000, none of their bold predictions came true. My Pontiac Aztek could not fly nor did I get any sort of laser cannon accessories. You lied to me Matchbox!
Heroic Apparel
While the Spider-Man Ski mask might go down as coolest bit of hero merchandising ever, I can’t imagine there was a child alive that was excited about the Hulk suspenders, you can’t put perfume on the pig that is wearing suspenders as a child. I’m also honestly surprised there is no Spider-Man bow tie.
Wacky Trucks
Fleetwood Toys introduced the “Wacky Truck” in 1982, combining the Wacky Pack to a toy? Perfection! My only problem with it is I don’t own one.
The Best of Colouring Book Theatre
While I have a new batch of colouring books on the way, they’re not here yet so let’s phone it in and do a clip show citing the highs and lows of reviewing materials for no real good reason. Grab your crayons and follow me after the jump: Most Cringeworthy Hands down, the winner would […]
Wonder Woman goes to Toys R Us
Wasn’t I just saying something about how I’d never seen many Wonder Woman appearance shots? Well, when it rains it pours because not only this another great shot of Diana Prince’s alter ego, it’s a vintage toy store shot to boot. I know this appearance took place in 1978 because I can see a shelf loaded […]
Mattel Osmond Catalog for 1978
1978 saw Mattel expand their popular “Donny and Marie” line with a new member of the Osmond family, too cute for his own good l’il brother Jimmy! The 1978 Donny and Marie Catalog also showcases such items as Hollywood Home playset and a pile of outfits for older brother and sis. NO OUTFITS FOR YOU […]
