The Metal Men by Zee Toys were by far one of the neatest non-TV advertised toy lines around. Made entirely of die cast metal, these sleek futuristic series of robotic action figures left the back story completely to your imagination.Check out the 1979 Metal Men CatalogAs an added bonus, we have the amazing Metal men […]
Both Crappy. I think I know what the kid in the bottom right is yelling. He kind of looks like the talking G.I. Joe box, if one of the things Joe said was “what the hell am I wearing?”
Seeing as it’s my darlin’ daughter’s birthday today and her long (and much missed) afternoon naps are what inspired me to create this blog three years and five days ago (which I probably should have mentioned) I thought I’d dedicate the day to her favorite subject, dolls! In this case Barbie’s with two classic commercials […]
Chad and Terry are definitely more stylish than Josh and Orville, it’s almost like they’re forcing you too look at their belly buttons. I must….look….away….

I got some help with these negatives from the photo department at my office and she generously rescanned and cleaned up these […]
Daisy has been the premier maker of toy caps guns since well long before I can remember and in this 1981 catalog they did something I am too excited about, they created Sheriff Lobo merchandise! It’s almost impossible to find BJ and The Bear Toys let alone anything based on it’s short lived spin off, […]
Yay, it’s Cylon day, not the sexy Cylons of recent times but the old school kind (which if you find them sexy, I guess that’s ok). First off is the new Cylon Trading card, (#21 for anybody counting) I never had these 12″ electronic figures but they make for a more interesting card then the […]
I’m gonna go with the day bed, it reminds me of the dress my date wore to my sister’s wedding, we made out a little bit before she threw up in my living room. Oh, I’ve said far too much…
