These Lite Writers by Larami are a neat example of how Rack Toys work, when you have a license, just create a unique item you can stick a character on.It’s fun seeing Flash Gordon in the mix, Larami also added a Cylon a year later (this is 1979) but as I recall it was rather […]
I really dig this UK ad for the highly underrated Matchbox Fighting Furies figures, mostly because it gives you a drool worthy shot of the display box. In the US, for some reason the spokesperson for this line was Mason Reese (no fooling, check it out here) Matchbox also released a killer playset for this […]
Today’s colouring book is courtesy of Sharry, who has an enviable collection! Unlike probably most 70’s kids, I’m not all that well versed with the Partridge Family, we didn’t get UHF channels until much later and when we did I only really saw the characters in cartoon form (Through “Goober and the Ghost Chasers” and […]
Paul Rigsby sent in this picture of him at Spider-Man at the Gateway mall in Jacksonville Florida in 1979. Paul wanted to point out his red plaid outfit is not on purpose, he had no idea Spidey was going to be there, he was, as he puts it “A poster boy for bad 70s fashion”. […]

Thought small in stature, this six inch character had a tall amount of adventures to choose […]
While I admit this powder blue number is the bomb and would go with the rug I plan to put in my bathroom, bachelor number two offers something no other toilet can. The ability to never have to do a decent job of cleaning it.
I was looking through this cool puffy stickers catalog (which I am going to get to in the fall) and my I found this killer box for the Filmation Super 7 Stickers. It’s very rare to find any merchandise for these characters. I remember a kid in my class having these and me being very […]
I have never heard of this Bugs Bunny Playset before, a Spiegel exclusive, I’d love to entertain the fantasy that it’s some sort of long lost Mego toy but more likely it’s by Dakin or somebody like that. Anybody have this as a kid? I have whittled away ten thousand hours watching Looney Toons and […]
Today’s colouring book is courtesy fo my friend Steve (update your blog!) who sent me two copies, one with a Rand McNally logo and one with Saalfields. Seeing as the Rand Six Million Dollar Man was kind of dryer than old toast, I’m going to say this was something Saalfield cooked up and Rand starting […]
