1982 Fleetwood Toys Catalog is very modest, a group of loose-leaf copies stapled together. CHiPs was the major player for 1982, Fleetwood managed to get a lot of mileage out of the motorcycle cop goodness. While Legend of the Lone Ranger wasn’t a box office success, the character itself still sold toys. Fleetwood was able […]

Mattel Rodan figure (eBay Link) I cannot begin to tell you how this toy shaped me as a collector. The first one I had was over my dresser as a teenager; it had sunglasses on and a cigarette in its mouth. I sold him in college, and it broke my heart. I bought a boxed […]
