Fleetwood Toys was a Rack Toy manufacturer famous for nabbing the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. For their 1984 catalog, there were a lot of new faces replacing previous characters “CHiPs” was now replaced with “TJ Hooker”, instead of “The Fall Guy” we’ve got the antics of the “A Team”, the Marvel Comics […]
“Word on the playground is, Sally is about to drop the dime on Jimmy after recess in retribution for the “paste incident” but you didn’t hear that from me, dig?”
I’ve postulated on the oddness of Kojak toys to the point where I’m tired of it. I will say that this set by Harmony is one of the more logical sets, except for the whistle, but I’ll forgive that because the mental image of Telly Savalas running after a perp with a whistle in his […]
Jodi sent in the wonderful store display that she spied in an antique mall. It’s sadly not for sale, which is too bad because i’d be tempted to get it despite the marital strife it would (understandably) cause.

The conversation ranges from KISS to Marie Osmond and as always, I slip in some “A Man Called Sloane” references (somebody has to!). It was a lot of fun to do […]
My pal Corey (who always has neat stuff on Ebay) sent in some really cool photos of the different costumes produced for shows created by legendary TV producer Gerry Anderson and well, there is no better time to look at these, just gonna seem weird tomorrow. More Collegeville/Ben Cooper fun after the jump… First off, […]
I’m loving this photo sent to me by Jeff who is in the 1979 Collegeville Wolfman costume and his twin is in the Collegeville Skeleton. Jeff’s uncle in the cool Don Post Skeleton mask and Dad is the Werewolf, also by Don Post. The Kooky Spooks Bat is his cousin. That’s a family portrait worthy […]
