70’s Superhero Mall Appearances

Thanks to the generous donation of our blog readers I have some fantastic new images of 70’s mall appearances by Superheroes, Jawas, Micronauts, Apes and even Lee Majors! This is a subject I will admit to being obsessed with so if you have photos like these and want to share please drop us a line, […]

Put Togethers Claim Another Victim

Not only are “Put Togethers” the goofiest clothing line since “Man Mates“ but they’ve incorporated Plaidstallions mascot Brick Mantooth into the mix. Nooooooooooo! Actually, this is the kind of stuff my Uncle Bob wears to family gatherings, the fashion train stopped for him.

Carson City : One Cool Cardboard Town

I don’t own any of the Gabriel Lone Ranger series nor did I as a kid but I do have a lot of respect for it. It’s one of the best made toy lines of the 70’s and holds it own. Case in point this Carson City playset, what a quality product this is. I’m […]
