Oh Snap! We are back with another installment of Colouring Book Theatre, thanks to my pal Sharry. I try not to go this long but it’s hard to find affordable vintage colouring books to review in my neck of the woods.Sharry’s Lassie book is autographed by Jon Provost, who played Timmy (the guy who never […]
JD sent in this great vintage shot of a Spider-Man appearance in Cleveland 1978 although he can’t quite remember the store it looks like Spider-Man is in the Office Supplies section. If that didn’t rock enough, JD also submitted this uber cool shot of what the “Free Spider-Man Button” looked like from last week’s ad. […]
At this past weekend’s Motor City Comic Con, I made the aquaintence of toy dealer Bob Serna, who had the most Planet of the Apes toys I’ve ever seen available for sale in one place. I spent the majority of my cash with Bob and I’ll probably be going back for more shortly, here are […]
Two prime examples as to why malls shouldn’t serve alcohol. Drinking and shopping, don’t mix.
I love this ad for Licensing Corporation of America (the people who you had to contact if you wanted to make any sort of superhero toy goodness in the 1970s) featuring the Mego Superheroes.

This is the Hasbro booth for 1975, that’s the suer awesome G.I Joe Skyhawk zooming over these gentleman’s heads.

Managed to slip across the border this weekend and hit Motor City Comic Con and while I saw and picked up a lot of fun things (which I’ll share this week), my favorite by far has to be this Brick Sketch by Art Baltazar. Art’s Tiny Titans comic is by far the preferred reading material […]
Free Spider Buttons? That would motivate me now to be first in line let alone as a kid….Send us your Mall Appearance photos!
Schaper Toys had a real hit in their hands in 1975 when they released “Super Toe Football” the first of their “Super Jocks” line of toys. So by 1978, it should come as no surprise that they had expanded into other events such as Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey. The President of Schaper introduces Super […]
I kind of went “primal geek” this past weekend when I took my kids to Burger King. The current Star Trek (well deserved) movie hype and promotion harkens back to when I was a lad and McDonalds ran their Star Trek Happy Meals. Somehow I conned my Mum into going more than once during that […]
