Schaper creates Tobor the robot
Toy Fair 1978- Tobor is robot spelled backwards, that blew my seven year old mind….
Horsman’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Toy Fair 1972- An Angela Lansbury doll with an “Action Bed” accessory? I’m sooooooooo there!
A Hug from the Hulk
Scott sent in this first in a series of three awesome pics that were taken at an event called the “Frogtown Frolics”, at Thompson Park in Colts Neck, NJ. It’s an appearance by the late 70s Marvel Hulk costume. Scott also laments that when Spider-Woman visited Child World in 1981, he couldn’t get close enough […]

Sesame Sheets
OK, I’m convinced that catalog photographers just used refridgerator boxes as a substitute for kids’ beds, the corners on that thing would cut children. That being said, there is nothing cooler than old school Sesame Street merchandising art, I miss it.
