G.I. Joe Secret Mission to Spy Island
I don’t think Hasbro ever stopped making this set, it’s always in parts lots. It was so popular that Power Records made a book and record set about it. I had the record as a kid, it was pretty darn terrific!
Barbie Plane Wouldn’t Fly Today
How far we’ve come in my lifetime, here we have the Barbie’s “Friend Ship” play set. What’s Barbie’s role on her plane? Stewardess. Something tells me that Ken would be serving the coffee if this play set were released now.Mattel recycled this into a Killer play set for Big Jim, I believe Big Josh was […]
Eaton’s Toy Land 1979
This one’s kind of personal to me, seeing as my mom seemed to do most of her Christmas shopping with her Eaton’s Card. Three years after they stopped making Wishbooks, Eaton’s department stores made this cool newspaper circular that featured the hot toys of the time. From Muppets to Micronauts, Star Wars to Green Machines, […]
Fear, Thy Name is Palazzo
I’ll try and struggle through the Catalog copy here, “Never before have females had a more flattering, graceful and leggier look“. Flattering is questionable, leggier is sort of a given but graceful? That’s like using “Pixie like” to describe Shirley Hemphill. You could hide children in those things.“Well I couldn’t find a sitter so my […]

Belly Shirt for her, good idea. Matching belly shirt for you? Awful and emasculating, you might as well have an oversized lolly pop in your hand.

Wasn’t Antron a bad guy […]

Kenner Stretch X Ray Commercial
This commercial is predictably from the DVD I made last month and is possibly one of my favourites. I don’t remember Stretch X Ray as a kid but as an adult collector, I must have had five of these. I couldn’t pass him up! Stretch Monster on the other hand, is the one that always […]
