I don’t do enough girl’s toys features and that’s a mistake cause I’ve got a great female readership and well, there’s some really funky cool stuff out there. Take for example Kenner Sea Wees, a bath centered toy line featured little mermaids who of course had long hair you could style (the play value of […]
The eldest daughter is just barely masking her rage, she’s a powder keg.
I guess because of my duties over at the MegoMuseum, I never really think to mention Mego’s awesome Micronauts Toy line and for that I am sorry. Like a lot of 70s children I was totally blown away by this line, one part action figure, another part lego it was the stuff of dreams. My […]
Don’t you cry Femmy Sweater brothers, never give them that satisfaction!
Seeing this awesome (and now pretty darn rare) stuff marked down gives me the chills. When I was about ten or eleven, my mom took me to “Consumer’s Distributing” a catalog showroom store.

After losing his hands in a childhood accident, Jay Armes worked hard and trained himself to use his steel prosthesis in any fashion that a hand could function, he also trained his mind […]
I’m a little bit confused as to why this clothing line is called Gold, there isn’t any gold on it save for the label. One would think it’s some sort of brand name right?Until you see it’s even more unappealing cousin, BLUE! Which like Gold, doesn’t contain any blue. Please explain this to me somebody, […]
Remco got piles of mileage out of these choppers but I rarely see the non licensed stuff in catalogs, mostly you see the Star Trek or the (incredibly stupid) Hulk versions of this. I also never knew what CSF stood for, “Chopper Special Forces” that would have never been my guess.
