Future Fashions
Kind of getting a “Logan’s Run” vibe from these ensembles. All they need is some sort of wrist communicator dealy…
Kitchen Tables of the Past
Any of these look familiar? My grandparents had #3 in their apartment, which was fine by me because it was like we were eating on “Star Trek”. This trek motif worked well, as the living room was covered in a “space age” plastic and they were Scottish.
A celebration of the Intruders
In 1976, Hasbro decided to change the game for it’s G.I. Joe line, hoping to improve sales. So not only did Joe get a Superheroic sidekick in Bulletman but he also got his first bonafied enemy. Before then, Joe always seemed to fight a faceless foe or an angry animal. I guess you could count […]
Disco Darci
It’s raining here, all yard sales and outdoor fairs are cancelled and I’m feeling like just staying in and watching movies. So here is a movie for everybody, this is a 1979 commercial for Kenner’s Disco Darci line, something I don’t remember but love the fact that it’s Disco.More Video:
The Top Ten Coolest Star Trek Toys of the 1970s
With the J.J. Abram’s helmed film poised to be a block buster, I thought it only fitting to do a top ten list of some of the better 23rd century items we got in the 1970s. Many might seem crude by todays standards but most have never been topped in the fun department.The 1970s were […]
Battle of the Planets Rack Toys
American kids kind of got the shaft when it came to “Battle of the Planets’ merchandise, a board game, some models and these generic rack toys by Gordy. Which while fun in their own right were likely recylced from something else and would be again. Some of these toys however are hard to find now […]
Bikini Wednesday
Kind of phoning it in today, I’m working some trade show some where and I’m absolutely brain dead. One has to wonder about the swim suit on the left, it looks like left over wardrobe from “Space:1999” and seems to be made of the same fabric as an oven mit or an ironing board cover. […]
Trouble Patrol
I never had the Kenner Trouble Patrol but I sure remember the Comic Book ads for this, a rogue motor cycle cop who crashes through the bank and mows down the culprits. I don’t think you’d get away with this anymore. I also love that one of the robbers is wearing “Crook” on his shirt, […]
Planet of the Apes Mini Play Set
I get a lot of people asking on the message board who made this set, it’s by Multiple Toys and they made several variations, one including a bunch of army men so you can reenact “Battle for the Planet of the Apes”, it goes a little crazy with the scale but I doubt any kid […]
PlaidStallions 3rd Birthday Bash!!
It’s our third Birthday here at PlaidStallions (give or take a week, I need to write this stuff down) so I thought what better way to celebrate than to run a contest and give out some “party favours” so to speak. So, the theme of this contest is Favourite Things. Namely, what is your favourite […]
