It’s hugh time we looked at Rack Toys again and what better a subject than Star Trek: The Motion Picture? I’m not sure what the connection was to the film. It’s pretty funny to imagine the crew of the Enterprise playing with this Silly Putty knock off, imagine if during the kolinahr ceremony spock just […]
Not a dud in the bunch, although number four is the dreamiest. I think it’s the moustache and the fighting stance, I’m a sucker for both.If you liked yesterday’s blog about Incredible Hulk Toys then you’ll love the one I wrote for Topless Robot entitled The Top Ten Most Incredibly Lame Hulk Toys. It’s a […]

One has to wonder if there was anyone who grew up loving this Burger King Playset and then later ended up working at a real Burger King. I know I used to pretend I had a variety store as a kid and eventually ended up a register monkey for a couple of years. I never […]

“Let’s face it…..Evel Knievel can convince kids to brush their teeth better than you can!” Right, he can pick his own teeth up from the bottom of his rocket car and show kids how white and clean they are. In other Evel Knievel news, World’s Greatest Toys Blog is taking a look at the Evel […]
Technological advancement in the 70’s made it easy for companies to market once expensive walkie talkies to us kids and wow, they were cool. While I longed for the Mego Star Trek communicators my sister and I ended up with some generic looking ones on the end. My best friend and I spent hours annoying […]
