Target : Monsters
I found this toy in the 1976 Larami catalog, I have no clue as to whether or not it was produced but it is something I will keep my eyes out for. It’s a pretty galling use of the Universal characters and I doubt it’s officially licensed in any way. That’s the joy that is […]
New office space
Cardboard Kong
My friend Corey gave me this shot (you can check out his awesome auctions here) and I honestly can’t ever remember seeing this cool toy before. What amuses me about it is while it appears to be from the 1970s, it seems to be based on the original film and not the Delaurentis remake. Which […]
Review : Too much horror business
I can`t think of a better way to kick off a month of celebrating Halloween than a review of the new book `Too Much Horror Business`by Metallica s Kirk Hammet. For those not in the know, Hammet is known to be a voracious collector of all things horror and comic books. More after the jump… I […]
Nikita and Spidey BBFs!
Nikita sent in this cool image of her and her folks meeting Spider-Man, It was taken on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk in 1979. She wants us to note her dad’s manly beard and mustache. I have a beard too but his totally beats mine.. I’ve never seen a Spidey quite like this one before, I wonder what […]
Alien Attack
I was rummaging around preparing for our annual month of Halloween and this popped up, it’s an awesome sell sheet for the Syndicated TV movie “Alien Attack” which actually was just two episodes of “Space:1999” glued together and sold as a feature film. I cannot tell you how addicted to these things I was as […]
AHI Mysteries #3: Super Klobbers
Here’s another one I hope is real, Super Klobbers. Basically, they’re just Centsable Socker Boppers with Super Hero dressing. The kick of these is they seemed to have used classic stock art (including swipes from the Mego Superman box) and added boxing gloves to them. Look at that lovely Neal Adams Batman ready to go […]
Nipple Kings
The concept of nipple rings got off to a shaky start in 1977.
Super 7 Find
This “Manta and Moray” watch is my first find of merchandise from childhood favourite show “Tarzan and the Super 7”. Somebody actually offered this for sale at the Megomuseum forums where I’m known to be, so it was rather serendipitous It’s pretty well documented that DC comics felt Manta was a little too close […]
