What’s a more appropriate way to end a week devoted to back to school than by paying tribute to those items that often ended up on our binders, Puffy Stickers! Imperial Toy was one of the biggest producer of these back in the day, even when they didn’t have the license they would come awfully […]
They most certainly are! Just how are these inspired by Winnie the Pooh? Christopher Robin mostly wore short pants as I recall….
It’s hard to make things like pencil sharpeners and desk sets interesting, I mean they are the gift an Uncle you don’t know well gives you. Having said that, I love this Bugs Bunny Desk set, it has only one superior IMO:Yeah I’m pretty smitten with the Batman desk set, this is most likely to […]
In the 70’s, the folks in the jumpsuit industry must have been rolling in it. There is something so weird about that red CB inspired pit crew looking jumpsuit, like the pockets are for Skoal or something .What I was doing 32 years ago Department: I’m pretty jazzed about the first day of school for […]
As summer comes to an end, what better time then to take a look at the Fall/Winter fashions our parents decked us out in to make that trip back to the classroom. So basically I’m doing what I always do here, just pretending it’s some sort of event. Um……..ta-da?

Send me your smock and masks people, I want all the Darth Vaders, Pink Panthers and (hopefully) Jaws costumes you can send me. For every submission, I’ll gratefully fork over some plaidstallions trading cards and stickers. It’s all part […]
In 1978, Ideal Toys hobbled together a series of space toys using old molds and a generous helping of inspiration from George Lucas.. S.T.A.R Team actually beat the Kenner Star Wars product to the stores (Kenner was forced to sell empty boxes promising action figures but you probably knew that) and the lawsuits flew! In […]
The kids on the outside kind of look like a young Rusty Venture and a junior version of Ed Straker from UFO. They’ll be rocking the McDonalds Birthday party in space age style. The kid in the middle is wearing what my mom would purchase from the three, meaning it’s the dorkiest “Marks and Spencer” […]
I’m real jazzed to have some additions to the Lincoln Monsters section of the site, mostly because I never thought I would get more stuff from this tough to collect 8″ line. Above is the Frankensten box, that’s right, Frankensten, it seems Lincoln took their proofing as seriously as I do.The Mummy box also has […]
