Planet of the Apes was a new hot ticket item for 70s wunderkind Mego who also produced the World’s Greatest Superheroes around the same time. Big Jim was Mattel’s answer to G.I. Joe and Dinah-Mite was Mego’s stab at Barbie, who was the original. Child Guidance was one of the bigger players in Sesame Street merchandise, […]
In 1982, LJN toys beat out rival toymaker Mego for the rights to produce toys based on the popular TSR role-play game “Dungeons and Dragons” and a great underrated series of toys was born. The LJN D&D line was sort of a grown-up version of Masters of the Universe with its Elves, Wizards, and Orcs […]

&n Amsco was a division of Milton Bradley and during their tenure they made some really fun creative and memorable toys. 1975’s roster included Sesame Street, Classic Monsters, Planet of the Apes and the Waltons in some truly original items. I would like that Sesame Street Play Set now. I doubt these foam bendies survived. […]
‘Well, ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ has come and gone, with nary a word said about it. We were so shocked, we decided to step up and finally give it the attention it’s been lacking a whole month later. Yes, it’s another stimulating Pod Stallions minisode, almost all about the Snyder Cut (and the DC/WB movies […]
Newspaper circulars for toy stores are a tough thing to find, often thrown out immediately it’s a shame when you realize what a wonderful window into our world they truly are.
