Forgot to add this brilliant ad from youtube, seeing as I’m on a Spidey kick today. I seemed to be obsessed with the 1980 JC Penney, I swear I have more catalogs than this one, it’s just on my desk. Photo stolen from the Mego Museum but it’s my scan so I can get away […]

Here is something that I wish I had seen as a kid, the Spiderman Ski Mask. The kid wearing the Hulk one got gypped, that’s a real stretch, shouldn’t it have a tuft of black hair on the top? Speaking of Superheroes, my buddy Ben has updated his blog on his website World’s Greatest Toys, […]

From 1980, these are official Mork and Mindy Rainbow Suspenders. For the little hack in your household, Jay Thomas not included……

Fooling around through the 1980 JC Penney Catalog I came upon the Tri-fecta of evil, the three toys I wanted more than anything but never recieved.

Most of the cool Mego figures were distributed by Grand in the late seventies, including Pocket heroes and Micronauts. It wasn’t until years later i discovered […]

It’s amazing what’s being offered in this auction. Six Sears Wishbooks, all from the seventies, ugh! As a catalog collector I’m in love, as a mego historian (boy that sounds dorky) it makes me wonder what I’m missing out on in those pages. Maybe I shouldn’t be advertising this auction…… mine! all mine!
