I had an epic day last Wednesday, what I thought would be a boring trip to a storage unit turned out to be an amazing discovery! When I found the records and remnants of my father’s 1970s toy distribution business including these funky signs he used to use. I have been looking for one of […]
Got a great email from another Brian yesterday, this being the Brian who sells on Ebay as Ant-Toys, it seems he’s had an amazing find of 70s toy history in these four original Fisher Price Adventure People Store Displays. The amazing thing about this is they’re stocked with figures! A really rare and impressive sight. […]
David sent in this vintage bit of awesome, at a car show in 1977 Cookie Monster decided to chow down on David, the stuff of schoolyard legend. This is our first (but hopefully not last) Sesame Street submission, great stuff!Send me your mall appearance photos!
Another player in the world of Rack Toys was Henry Gordy International, who specialized in somewhat generic impulse items with licensed appearance. Among their staples is my new favourite thing mostly because I’m immature: The “Ball Blaster” would indeed be an effective crime deterrent even Lex Luthor himself would think twice.The primary licenses used here […]
“You’ve come to the right place if you want to get your ass kicked!” Sweater Jerks don’t mince words.
The red phone is of course, a direct link to Commissioner Gordon. I really believe that killer graphics like these bed sheets are the thing that brainwashed me into the deranged superhero junky i remain today. Damn you Licensing Corporation of America! Frightenstein Contest Winner! Congrats to James Powell for winning our “Save Frightenstein” contest […]
Night IS Romantic and what better way suck all hope of sexual activity out of the room than with these matching unisex MuMus? Slip these unattractive puppies on and you’ll both see those last, lousy 30 minutes of “Saturday Night Live”. Guaranteed to work better than a teething 18 month old.
Not only did I get a plush Godzilla in my stocking for Christmas ’80 but I still have it, he currently resides in my daughter’s room. The Godzilla cartoon was a huge favourite of mine growing up as was the Marvel comic, no wonder so many 70s kids grew up digging the Big G. I […]
Here’s a colouring book from my past that I found reasonably priced at an antique mall of all places.Books like this are the reason I’m such a big fan of this Disney Sci Fi epic, around the release date I got sick, “scare your parents” sick and was given a huge poly bag of Black […]
As cool as homemade Darth Vader’s and mall Spider-Men are, you gotta love a vintage picture of a star signing in costume. That’s why I pretty much exploded when Derek (the man responsible for this awesomeness) sent me this pic of 1975 era Tom Baker in full timelord regalia in Debenhams, Plymouth. I’m soooo jealous […]
