The Super Friends Saturday night

A sad glimpse of what the Superfriends do with their time off. Those of you who like to make Aquaman jokes, note that he appears to have something better to do.

Preschool Trek

Sarah sent in this 1976 back to school shot of her younger brother marching off to his first day of pre school clad in his Donmoor Star Trek best. Bonus kudos on nailing the “Kirk Smirk”. I cannot think of a better back to school photo for this blog. The Top Ten Coolest 70s Star […]

Captain America will be here on….

The folks at Good Old Vintage sent over a snap of this awesome Captain America appearance poster, sadly it’s already been sold. As a collector of such things, it’s amazing to see a poster for Cap, who likely less in demand than Spider-Man. I heart this…. Send me your mall appearance photos!

Diener Industries 1975 Catalog

  Seeing as it’s back to school time, no catalog makes more sense than Diener, who specialized in rubber figurines, erasers and pencil toppers. Essentially the inexpensive toys disguised as School supplies you could sneak into school. Looking at this thing brought a flood of memories to me, as it’s an inventory of stuff I […]

Cirque du Weeble

As I’ve mentioned multiple times, my parents denied me the Weeble experience, as we were a devout Fisher Price Little People family. Life was good, so I’m not complaining but the grass always looked pretty green in Weeble-ville.

Buck Rogers Bubb-A-Loons

Say that five times fast. I do admit to loving the smell of this stuff and the fact that imperial did three different types of card art for the same item.  Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get three […]

Dark Lord of the 8 Track

Part two of the stereo store visit pictures from Francis shows him getting into a sticky situation with customer service. This is a pretty brilliant Darth Vader and Chewbacca appearance, there was much more home made versions running around…. I thought you might enjoy these pics from 1978. Back story: It was announced (I think in a […]

GI Joes from Brazil

I’ve been particularly enthralled with the Brazilian version of GI Joe for a few years now, thanks to the interwebs. Falcon, as it’s known was for much of it’s tenure,  pretty much a standard Military Adventure line like we had here and in other parts of the world.  However, around 1980, all hell broke loose […]

Pepsi for all!

These things were a big mystery to me as a kid, I’d see them in catalogs but I never knew anyone who had one. I had no idea how the soda got in there, mystery solved, you put a bottle in there. I wasn’t gifted…
