Saalfield’s Colouring Books for 1975!
I’m working this weekend (Boooo!) so I can’t do CBT, what I can do is show this cool article from the toy industry for Saalfield who had some killer licenses in 1975. I’ve already reviewed the Speed Buggy book here. For some reason, I’d love to get my hands on the Korg and Valley of […]
Carlin meets the Hulk
Carlin Trammel (of the great blog Nerd Lunch ) sent in this early 80’s Hulk appearance inCharleston, SC for the Super Heroes Mall Appearance Gallery . He kind of looks scared….
1978 Child Guidance Sesame Street Catalog
Wrapping up Sesame Street week the only way I know how, with another catalog. Child Guidance was one of the bigger producers of Sesame Street Merchandising in the 1970’s, at this point they were a division of Gabriel (makers of the cool Lone Ranger line of toys) but eventually would become part of the Azrak […]
Rainy Day on the Street
True Story, my mother bought me this rain coat, although it was blue. I was eight and the one time I wore it home I kept thinking “My mom is having problems with me getting older”. I’m lucky none of my buddies who were busy with grown up things such as KISS records saw me. […]
Sesame Street Playsets
I’m sure most people recognize the Sesame Street Clubhouse from Fisher Price but I’ve never seen the cardboard playset before. It makes Sesame Street look more like Mayberry than the urban setting it was, what’s with all the grass and trees? I still my own talking Ernie (he’s not as minty as the one featured […]
Plaid Sesame
A match made in heaven… I am so digging that orange Ernie sweater, it never ends with Sesame Street clothing. Today’s sole DVD release that I feel like blabbing about is this Rodan/War of the Gargantuas double feature. Both of these movies were part of “Monster Week” growing up and are somewhat responsible for my […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Diff’rent Strokes
Leave it to Sharry to provide us with what is perhaps the most culturally signifigant colouring book ever produced. Based on the landmark sitcom of whose quality has never been surpassed, Diff’rent Strokes follows the gripping adventures of Willis and Arnold Jackson and their adopted family, the blandest people alive, the Drummonds. The art in […]
I Met BigFoot
After a year of accumulating other people’s encounters with Spider-Man and Darth Vader, it never dawned upon me that I had anything to add until I found this. This is probably around 1980 and at the Metro Zoo, who used to use 70s super celebrity Bigfoot quite extensively in their marketing (you can still see […]
