Be Seeing You!
“Run! The Bass player from the Hives is a giant!”These Sears kind of look like uniforms from a 70’s reluanch of the Prisoner televions series.Source: Sears 1977
Darth Mall and an appearance by the Incredible Hulk!
Two more additions to the Plaidstallions Mall Appearance Gallery today and they’re both pretty fantastic! Daniel Preston sent in this fantastic pic of Darth Vader at the Mac Dade Mall Woolco in PA, Vader choked that Imperial officer when his marker ran dry. Mark ( AKA Vulcanjedi ) sent in this wild Incredible Hulk Appearance […]
Underwear that’s fun to wear
I can still remember the first commercial I saw for Underoos, during the Plastic Man cartoon, your underwear could make you Superman, Darth Vader and even the Dukes of Hazzard! I was sold but never saw them in stores growing up (My mum was a “Marks and Sparks” shopper).As an adult a friend gave me […]
More Mike Power Atomic Man
Mike Power had a big impact on me as a kid, he beat the Six Million Dollar Man to market by a few months and he was a pretty big deal on the play ground. He was of course, pretty much forgotten once Steve Austin lumbered onto toy shelves.The Sea Wolf Submarine, also seen on […]
Star Trek : The Comic Strip
In 1979, a Star Trek daily comic strip appeared, tied into “Star Trek : The Motion Picture”. What’s weird about this is I somehow clipped and pasted an entire story into a scrap book as a kid, eventhough I have no recollection of doing so. It does make sense, as a kid, I was really […]
Scout’s Honour
Kenner’s Steve and Bob Scout line was an answer to other “Razor and razor blades” adventure lines like Big Jim and G.I. Joe but with a sharp focus on being wholesome. Steve and Bob were 9″ Mego like figures that had well made outfits and accesories. Visit the Plaid Stallions Steve Scout Gallery for more […]
Gloom, Despair and Agony On Me
Yes, you are reading that correctly, it says “Overalls in a HEE HAW print” as in that show that was on opposite of Lawrence Welk. Was this show popular with the playground crew? Wearing these where I grew up would be the equivilant of being caught dressing up my cats. Not available in “Junior Samples” […]
Interplanetary Star Fortress
I really dig unlicensed catalog play sets like this star fortresss. I’m sure that more than a few grandmothers were fooled into thinking this was a death star. I’ve never seen one but it looks to be entirely of laminated cardboard, I wonder how many survived?Also as a Star Wars nerd, the concept of Yoda, […]
Voyage to the Style Aisle
Sadly, my Sears has no “Style Aisle” as this 1977 Catalog advertises. Which is a shame because that yellow shirt is just about the greatest thing ever.
Matching Sweaters Means Love
These “lovey dovey” dress alike photos always look ackward and somewhat stilted, apparently personal space hadn’t been invented in 1979.
