The shirt up top is called “The Romeo” (no fooling) and the add suggests you add a “Swank” necklace , nothing says romance like that shirt and cheap necklace with the same name as a third rate skin rag. Of all of them, I’d say the boat shirt was favourite but the guy with the […]
Jason sent in these awesome additions to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery. This was at the B Dalton’s in the Maplewood Mall, in St. Paul, MN, November of 1977. This is pretty early for a Star Wars appearance. I love the Sign in the background and look at the crowd! Jason proudly displays his signed […]
Card #6 should come as no shock to anyone, seeing as how much space I have devoted to Evel Knievel on the site. It almost felt like obligation to make it, so I did it early rather than later. It is arguably the most famous 70’s toy I’ve done thus far. Number 7 is probably […]
Going across the ocean today and back 31 years to look at the marvelous talking toys produced by Palitoy Bradgate. While we’re all spoiled by voice chips now, a talking toy was a complicated thing back in the day, involving a tiny record.

Ok, I would so totally use a set of these on my bed today. This picture also features one of my favourite things, the use of toys in the child’s bedroom set. For some reason, I really like that extra detail, I probably need to get out more. That’s the Dinky Toys Enterprise by the […]
Please bear with me, for this entry I’ll be going a little, as they say in radio, “local”. Growing up in 70’s Ontario, most summer vacations were spent up north camping or in a rented cottage. Along the way, we’d usually stop in a small town which usually had a “Stedman’s” department store. Stedman’s was […]
I managed to squeak out a few new Plaidstallions Trading cards this month and while they are not in my hands yet (soon!) I thought I’d share the first one now.The AHI Monsters were an easy choice for card #5, I’ve grown rather smitten with them since I started covering rack toys for the site […]
