We have famous faces…..and butts
Ahhhh “Love is” the transister radio choice of overly happy housewives and creepy uncles since 1972!
Blake’s 7 Cosmic Strike Force
This one blew my mind, UK Toy distributor Jotastar (who sold a lot of AHI stuff in the UK) plastered the Blake’s Seven logo on some unrelated friction space ships in the early 1980s. They have no relation to the program but I must admit I want them. For those not in the know, Blake’s […]
Sleep Uniforms
Can’t tell if they’re going to bed or guarding the wicked witch’s castle…
Timelord toy joy
Ryan sent in this amazing bit of UK toy love from 1978. A Doctor Who fan at an early age (and admittedly still is), here we see a four year old Ryan completely in a state of joy with his new Denys Fisher Doctor Who toys. he’s clutching the Giant Robot and a Marx […]

These Fantastic Four parachute figures appeared in the 1979 catalog along with new characters like the Incredible Hulk and Captain America. It’s pretty logical that AHI would pick […]

Things I’m excited about..
I thought I’d spend this Sunday blogging about a few things I’m excited about. More after the jump: Firstly, Cartoon Lagoon released it’s second trailer. If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s a riffing project that has fun with old animation. I’m a huge MST3K guy and this looks such a well done, spirited project, […]
