Thomas Berry sent me this wonderful flashback to add to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery. It’s the Lord of the Sith himself at Joe Romania Cherolet Dealership in Eugene, Oregon back in October 1978. Thomas also mentions a Jawa but he seems to be camera shy. Thomas tells me he keeps these photos in a […]
Time to pay tribute again to those wonderful bits of metal pipe that gave us thousands of hours of joy and are likely rusting in a scrap yard by now. The past I’ve focused on specific themes like the ever popular Spaceship or Story books but this one is just plain old funky playground equipment, […]
Accurate toy guns are pretty much a thing of the past now but there was nothing I wanted more when I was 7 than one of those M-16 replicas that made a firing sound (kind of clacker on the inside) . It must have been the popularity of SWAT that influenced my decision. I had […]
So Richly Masculine, it comes with a tiny Burt Reynolds and optional wingman.
My pal Bill sent these images on a few weeks ago and I forgot all about them, here is a parachuting Planet of the Apes Doctor Zaius and notice he’s packing heat. Zaius is dropping and this time it’s personal…. Parachuting Robin from the Batman series of toys is logical but damn, he’s a tough […]
Last week in the comments section, Blogger Agent Morris mentioned he had the same catalog as me and a pre Buck Buck Rogers Erin Grey was easily found. The search took me about four minutes to find TV’s Wilma Deering in her early twenties, looking as fabulous as ever. I had a crush on her […]

So in it’s place I offer this 1976 British commercial for Action man (the UK name for G.I. Joe) While stateside, G.I. Joe was going into “Super Adventure“, […]

Dave is holding a piece of paper top get Spidey to sign. Got a Vintage Mall Appearance Shot you want to share? Whether it’s from the seventies […]
Another fabulous voyage into the world of Rack Toys with the 1979 Azrak Hamway International catalog. Gone are the cool Universal Monster and Planet of the Apes toys of a few years eariler but AHI has continued to expand on it’s comic book offerings mostly inspired by the Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four television series.All […]
Glamour Gals seemed to be Kenner trying to mix the popularity of the Star Wars format with the fashion doll. Even though I wasn’t in the demographic, I recall these being heavily TV advertised during “Battle of the Planets” reruns. I’m not sure how well they did however, I seem to recall seeing a massive […]
