1974 Children’s Palace Toy Circular
Children’s Palace is a well known Toy chain to anyone who grew up on the East Coast, these castle themed stores were eventually bought up by Child World in 1977 and ran until 1992 when they finally closed their doors, leaving many a 70s kid in mourning.This 1974 Toy circular shows a retailer in it’s […]
Take your cute paws off me, you adorable widdle ape!
You know, if 20th Century Fox had have gone with these puppets instead of actors in costume, Planet of the Apes would have been a very different movie…
The Show Down
How does showing two kids having a heated argument help sell pants?
Aqua-Roos
While I’ve seen Underoos in catalogs for years, it’s usually just showing the usual Batman and Spider-Man but here’s a rare occasion when they feature one of my favourites Aquaman and not only that but they’re snubbing the caped crusader!

Mike Brady: Private Eye
A rare shot from the ill fated Brady Bunch Spin Off pilot which saw Mike leave his family (and the world of architecture) to become a hard boiled PI with a taste for the ladies.OK I’m lying but tell me that concept isn’t like, 1000 times better than the variety show?

More S.W.A.T!
Great that theme song ain’t leaving my head anytime soon. Eventhough I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen an episode of this series, I will admit to thinking that playset of theirs is one of the coolest vinyl sets the 70s had to offer. I’m a sucker for anything that has those old giant reel […]
SEPTOR!
This is one from the “toys we never got” file. Sometime in the late Seventies, toy make Funstuf proposed this combination of Stretch Armstrong and a Cylon. Sadly, it doesn’t look Septor ever materialized, which is probably good for Funstuf because Kenner sued the pants off Mego back in the day for their Elastic Superheroes. […]
