Scott sent in this first in a series of three awesome pics that were taken at an event called the “Frogtown Frolics”, at Thompson Park in Colts Neck, NJ. It’s an appearance by the late 70s Marvel Hulk costume. Scott also laments that when Spider-Woman visited Child World in 1981, he couldn’t get close enough […]
Ha, three years with the same graphic! It’s that time of year ago again where I use the American Toy Fair as an excuse to delve into articles and items from previous Toy Fairs. This year I plan to jump around a bit and focus on no specific year and also there will be hopefully […]

I’m very pleased/totally surprised to have my first corporate sponsor here at PlaidStallions, the good people at Odeon Toys. It’s an odd story how this came to be and goes to show you how fate works in funny ways. A couple of months back I won this catalog on Ebay, I’d never heard of Odeon […]
OK, I’m convinced that catalog photographers just used refridgerator boxes as a substitute for kids’ beds, the corners on that thing would cut children. That being said, there is nothing cooler than old school Sesame Street merchandising art, I miss it.
While a paint by numbers kit alone isn’t that exciting to kids, Hasbro amped up the cool with the licensing. I’d have trouble deciding today what to choose let alone as a five year old. I’d probably go with Star Trek but the idea of painting Aquaman is really tempting….
Your pit crew for romance, their lovemaking is sponsored by Skoal.
Cat sent in this “1970something” shot of him shaking hands with none other than Burt Ward in full Robin regalia at a Rockford Car Show. Ward still looks like he jumped out of 1966 here, so it really must have been to meet Robin live and in person like that. Send me your mall appearance […]
