Our second October episode, Jason and Brain try to cram in as many monster toys as they can into an hour and a half. Aurora model kits, Marvel comics, action figures by Tomland, Remco and Lincoln International get discussed as does Cracked magazine, Power Records, the number of times we rented “LifeForce” on VHS (I’ve […]
I found this game at a toy show a while back, it’s dated 1977 and is made by Hasbro but I have no recollection of ever seeing it before. The vendor was a friend and told me to take it for five dollars, i hadn’t bought anything that day so it was a pretty quick […]
It’s been a while since I updated the Remco Monsters at Home Gallery, thanks mostly to some bargains being found. Above is the carded Creature set, something I had basically given up on owning. The Creature, is always the painful one to get in any set, mostly due to his popularity. Here is the Mummy, […]
I was super stoked to find this amazing Chemtoy catalog page featuring the Groovie Goolies figures (which I sadly don’t own but luckily are featured in Rack Toys). It’s bittersweet that the find happened just as I get news that Lou Scheimer has passed away. It’s no secret I adored the man’s work and I […]
This picture from the 1980 Combex catalog is something I’ve been searching for years for, evidence of who distributed these darn things. It’s kind of joyous to see the Creatures from Other Worlds mingling with the Star Raiders and Famous Monsters of Legend. Now I’ve just got to find the catalog from the next […]
Halloween around here wouldn’t be the same without the store bought goodness that is Ben Cooper. If you were a child of the 70s or 80s, then you certainly knew their product. Cooper held some of the great licenses in 1981 including the Disney characters, both the DC and Marvel comics Superheroes, Clash of the […]
I recently came across this promotional folder from Mattel full of different concepts for stores to boost sales of (duh) Mattel Toys. The one that most interested me was the Halloween specific teaming of Suckerman, Gre-Gory and Krusher into an end cap called the “Creepy Feature”. While I’m 100% sure this never made it to […]
Since I originally posted about these little guys three years back, I haven’t added anything to the collection. In fact, I’m kind of the belief I may not be able to complete the set for the price I’m willing to pay. Fortunately, I have a pal in Bill, who has some of the characters I […]
I’ve always wanted one of these AHI squirt guns, but they’re so rare and desirable that I could never come close. The other thing that held me back was paying a beefy sum for a squirt gun. I don’t know why that should bother me but it did. Fortune smiled on me and I managed […]
Today’s costume spotlight is a personal favourite, Calibos, the twisted demi God from Clash of the Titans. When Clash came out I was ten years old, a Harryhausen fan and deeply interested in Greek mythology, making me the target market for all the different toys and cereal tie ins (I think Sugar Crisp gave away […]
