With the double whammy of Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman on each week, Kenner pulled out all the stops in 1977 in terms of product, with over 24 pages of products to choose from this is truly the spike in the Bionic Craze. It’s interesting to note that despite her show being action […]
“The fist” is one of the more common (and laughable) catalog model poses, it’s not utilized as much as the “Hand on Buckle” or “Arms Akimbo” but still sees a great deal of usage. One can imagine the photographer saying “Show me your rage baby!”
While not born a girl and being fortunate enough that my parents didn’t try to raise me as one regardless, I find it odd how nostalgic this page makes me. I think as a kid I was envious that Barbie got that cool boat and Big Jim didn’t. Barbie and Jim shared campers, planes, cars […]
OK, so the moustached gentleman has appeared a few times now and he’s definately becoming a favourite, I was trying to attach a name to him but nothing seems to stick. I was toying with “Lancelot La Beef” or “Marcel Dangereaux” but I can’t decide, so let’s open the floor. The winner will get some […]
I got a lot of great feedback on the recent Azrak Hamway toy galleriesIncluding a ton of submissions from friends, so much so that I’ll be spinning off some of the material into additional galleries. Today, I thought I’d focus on some of the AHI Star Trek stuff my pal Bill sent me. These Phaser […]
I’m happily busy today, so I can’t do a CBT nor can I reveal my other weekend feature, TV Comics which is about comics based on TV shows, in case you thought it was about Tranvestite Comedians. For now, here is a Gold Key Star Trek panel that made me smile…
Another great batch of photos this week, starting with Chris Franklin, a fellow Megomuseum forum pal proudly displaying his Remco Energized Superheroes along with his 12″ Mego Spidey. Here is a killer shot of Betsy opening an Evel Knievel set. According to Betsy her Evel was best friends with Mego Batman, they even picked up […]
We’re jetting forward to 1984 to take a look at Manglors, a rather unique toy offering from Ideal Toys. Manglors weren’t action figures (they had no articulation) but rather a new kind of concept, made of a spongy material that stretched and apparently could be reattached. Every character in the line seemed to be a […]
I haven’t done a vintage toy ad probably since I burned out during retro toy fair in February. This ad is sort of relevant to me as I recently made friends with a former Corgi sales rep, we were talking about the Batmobile and he said “Do you know how many of those we sold?” […]
I had an uncle that must been the life of the party back in the day, I remember his basement bar had almost every single thing pictured here including the man in the barrel who pees booze. It’s kind of weird that ash trays and liquor dispensors can remind you of childhood but it does…
