There is no doubt in my mind that I would have spent all of my pocket money on one of these as a kid. It’s just what one? I’m not ashamed to admit even Ziggy was a contender for me as a kid.
Esquadron Ultra
This piece may be my favourite bit of Ultra-man merchandise ever, this particular rack toy doesn’t come from Japan but Peru, where I guess Ultra Seven got played at one point. What’s amazing about this item is a) I’m not even sure it’s licensed, b) I’m surprised something this fragile survived and c) it’s so darn […]
Action Pants!
Is it just me or does this montage extolling the virtues of double knit polyester look like the greatest detective show ever?
The Lost Playground
PS Reader Murilo sent in these pictures from Ana Lidia Park in Brazil, where 70s playgrounds still stand and in great condition. Let’s explore: This is a pretty deluxe rocket set if I do say so myself. This is Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage (Model 155-422) from this catalog. And this looks like the old Woman’s shoe from […]
A bedroom far, far away
Just in case you forgot that Star Wars came out in the 1970s, I present the harvest gold bed and curtain sets. May the funk be with you…
Sears Space Command Center and Sound Studio
This oddity from 1979 was a generous gift from my pal John, it’s one of those things that Sears stuck in their catalogs to sell along side other licensed toys. This one tries for all the marbles, trying to get some Star Wars heat and the 12″ celebrity doll craze. More pics after the jump!: Like […]
HULK SAVE!
I’d be tempted to call this late 70s piece by AHI silly but I’m positive that this scene happened at least once on the old Bill Bixby show….

Sesame Shirts
I would love to send an adult sized Oscar sweater back to myself in college.
The Amazingly Late Spider-Man
My pal Lynch sent me this absolutely awesome press photo which explains that Spidey rolled into this JC Penney 90 minutes late, not even a robot that throws candy could quell their Spider-Mania . If you’re into all things Spider-Man, check out this neat video put together by Lynch. It shows a kid’s Spider-Man costume from the […]
Podstallions 18: The Apocalypse
Episode 18 takes us to those days when the future wasn’t looking so bright. If we didn’t blow each other up and get eaten by giant cockroaches, the environment would have us eating each other or even worse, massacred by diapered men on horseback . The Apocalypse talks about the years of heady, “gloomy doomy” science […]
