I’m a sucker for purty toy packaging and these shots of the UK version of the Star Trek Phaser just had me drooling. It’s so nice that I’ll forgive the dye job on Shatner’s hair. Thanks to Ebay seller retrotoyboy for letting me use these. More Trekky things to look at:
It’s hard to make out but that’s Batman and Robin hoisting Batgirl on their shoulders in the picture from SeaWorld. This scene isn’t far removed from something you’d see on the 1966 series. This picture is again courtesy of Steve C. More Aquatic Superheroics next week. For more on this check out our gallery: And […]
Lili Ledy was Mexico’s premiere toy manufacturer and because of trade restrictions, all toys they sold had to be manufactured in Mexico. So many of the popular US lines were licensed and then produced by Lili Ledy resulting in wonderful variations that toy collectors hunt for to this day. 1977 was a killer year with […]

This image will be featured in my upcoming book “Salute! How Hee-Haw ruined America”
The Dynamic Duo swoop in on their sweet, sweet bat boat in this great shot from Sea World. This picture is again courtesy of Steve C. and it’s just cementing my belief that I missed out on something. More Aquatic Superheroics next week. For more on this check out our gallery: And if you have […]
I know it’s technically not a 70s toy but it is related, plus these figures came out when I was eleven and had the distinction of being the last toys I bought to play with. In fact, on my twelfth birthday my mom made me a G.I. Joe cake (as I’ve explained before, she was […]
The title of this post could have easily been “Lee Majors plays with himself” but I had a rare bout of restraint.
