My Pal Jesus sent me an email full of pics of incredible 300 figure plus G.I. Joe collection and mentioned to me that it’s for sale. He has Joes from all over the world, Italy, Canada, Spain and most of all, Mexican Lili Ledy Joes which are different from US versions. I’ve had dozens of […]
Who doesn’t love a clip show? After more than a year and a half of blogging about polyester, it seemed fitting to put together a “Greatest Hits” packageof some of the bigger fashion attrocities of the 1970’s. Thanks of course, to the good catalogs at Aldens, JC Penney, Sears and Wards.So check out the best […]
New to the web today is the 1976 Maskatron commercial from Kenner. Every child should know the joy of owning a robot doll that becomes John Saxon. That’s not sarcasm, I really mean it! These are scans from the 1976 Kenner catalog, click on the link for more. Expect more Bionic Man and Woman stuff […]

Above is another great French ad from Eric (Aka Baron Sat). These were the popular shows in France at the time, Fantastic Four and Goldorak (which many Franch Canadian kids […]
My pal Eric sent this amazing cool advertisement for costumes in France, this stuff is just killer. I guess Bionic Woman was called “Super Jamie” over there, I wonder if they’ll call the new series that?These Leia and C-3PO costumes are undeniably cool, the Leia looks exactly like the Kenner figure!Mighty Mightor was kind of […]
It almost doesn’t seem fair to talk about Monster Toys and not bring up one of the most popular and influential of them all, the Aurora Monster kits. So today’s update is a look at the 1975 Aurora Glow in the Dark Classic Movie Monsters Catalog. As an added bonus we have shots from the […]
Remco Mini Monsters are an obsession of mine, the marriage of 3 3/4″ Star Wars like figures with the Universal Monsters is in my humble opinion, perfection. I just recently tracked down the play case but bought a sealed one that I can’t play with. I’d never punch out the cardboard pieces anyway.What haunts me […]
I don’t know much about this game but I have to say that’s the most handsome frankenstein I’ve ever seen.
