Chris Curley sent in these great shots of then 57 year old Adam West still looking pretty darn good in his Batman gear. This is from a car show in Chicago, West must have been on a tour that year. Batman was being heavily syndicated and I remember him popping up in my own city […]
Most people know Duncan from their Yo-Yo products which they still sell to this day but their 1981 catalog shows a company branching out into different things, mostly toy vehicles (such as 70s style vans) but also licensed items like the Batmobile. Check out the 1981 Duncan Catalog here
Imagine how different a movie the Dark Knight might have been if Christian Bale had emerged from the Batmobile riding this. I wonder if he’d put on the batsuit and ride this for me?
Now I know what Captain America’s bedroom looks like.
As weird as this set seems, my kids have a modern version if this that’s almost entirely the same except Elmo is now crowbarred in there. Bert looks totally at home on a chopper, I should have known he was an outlaw biker.

There are something so damn awesome about seeing two of my favourite toylines (in this case the Lincoln Monsters and the […]
Chris Pitzer sent in this great shot of him and his younger brother meeting Spider-Man at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, Md circa 1979. I love the “webbing” in the background. Do you have a vintage Mall Appearance shot? Send it on down! Check out the Mall Appearance Gallery for more vintage spandex goodness…
Yeah, it might seem pretty weird to feature a school supplies catalog, except this is Mead, who made all the cool licensed stuff you wished you had.The big launch for 1976 were the Marvel Comics Superheroes school supplies, while I never recieved any of these personally, I must have sat across from a kid who […]
Ever since we ran the “Name this guy” contest, images of Guy Karate have been few and far between. It’s almost like I jinxed myself, while I run into Brick at least once a wishbook, Guy is so rare that I actually got more excited than I should have spotting him in this spread from […]
