Bat Vehicles For Fast Footed Crime Chasers Bat Vehicles For Fast Footed Crime Chasers. Now, I want to preface this all by saying I had a great childhood, just like my tattoo says, “No Regerts”. However, every time I gleam past this page in the Sears catalogue, I sense a disturbance in the force. The […]
I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes […]

Baron Karza and Force Commander are the yin and yang of the Mego Micronauts toy line, and in this episode, we explain the toy’s anime origins and the many twists and turns it’s had in revivals and spin-offs. #mego #micronauts #microman #takara_tomy Do you miss toy collector magazines?

Were you one of the lucky kids who, at Christmas, got the deluxe Kojak playset from, oh, let’s just assume, your grandparents? That was way better than a Mego Batman, right? I mean, now you can take the Penguin downtown and process him. Get him a lawyer and see if he’ll talk about that […]
I love these early catalogue pages for Big Jim’s P.A.C.K, which was Mattel’s clever rebranding of the popular sports and adventure character. Anyone who scans this site probably can figure out how happy a memory this toy line was for me. This ad is still using the original storyline where the P.A.C.K is made up of […]
1978 Kenner Star Wars Catalog If you were a kid under ten in the late seventies, you witnessed one of the toy industry’s biggest game changers, the Kenner Star Wars line. Even though it was late for Christmas of ’77, Kenner came out with both barrels blazing the following year, utilizing their master toy license […]
I had a little fun with this page from a catalogue for a chain called “Johnny’s Toys.” I love that it’s clearly 1976, and they’re still advertising a Mego Removable Cowl Batman. I don’t believe that would be what you got at that time. It’s also an epic assortment; the only thing missing is Crazy […]
Larami was well known for some of my favourite Rack Toy output in the 1970s and 80s. However, the one thing that I am mildly obsessed with for their oddity is the so-called “Super Heroes Skates.” They’re cheap roller skates shaped like Super Heroes or are they Super Heroes shaped like Roller Skates? They all […]
Issue 8 of Toy-Ventures magazine has a new milestone with the article “The Birth of Roboskull.” Action Force historian Tony Roberts (AKA Analog Toys) and Bob Brechin, the iconic toy’s creator, co-wrote this article. It’s always a true pleasure to get toy history from the source. Did you miss print toy collector magazines? So […]
