Failed Fashion Trends
The 1977 notion that young men would enjoy wearing unsold Maternity tops from the previous year unfortunately fell flat. Personally, I could use some along a few of those pants with the spandex fronts….
Bulletman Appreciation Day
It’s been a while since we honoured Hasbro’s Bulletman, that great attempt to make G.I. Joe a little more superheroic that sadly failed. The big B is often maligned unfairly by Joe collectors, particularly the military ones but for many of us 70s kids, he was an incredibly fun toy. This is Bullet Man as […]

Hardy Boys by Kenner
The 1977 ABC TV series made the then fifty year old characters of Joe and Frank Hardy into super styling studs of the late seventies. These teen heart throbs didn’t go unnoticed by the good people at Kenner (seeing as they had more than their fair share of success with another ABC series) and in […]
Rack Toys are Hell….
I’m working on another update for the Gallery of Rack Toys when I saw something I’d never seen before. Fleetwood Toys had the Marvel License so they coyly repackaged some army men with the Sgt. Fury brand. Sarge doesn’t get enough merchandise so I’m especially smitten with this discovery. The other cool thing about these […]
Sexy Disco Lady
I scanned this image originally with the sole intention of mockery (go figure) but honestly, I think this woman is hot. I have also discovered that I appear to have a silver boot fetish, if you combine this with my love of purple hair, it’s pretty obvious that Gerry Anderson is to blame.
Save on Model Kits
Aurora Comic Scene Models are a really happy part of my childhood seeing as my Dad sold them for a while and as a result, I had a good supply. I sucked at model building (still kinda do) and used them more as action figures, which I think a lot kids did. The Apes kits […]
I’m With Stupid
Or is it that Stupid is with me? The tables have turned my cunning friend, the tables have turned….
Spider-Man at Six Flags
Carman DiCicco sent in this cool shot from 1979 Six Flags Great Adventure, the way everyone’s heads are turned, it looks like Spidey just swung in. Do you have a vintage Mall Appearance shot? Send it on down! Check out the Mall Appearance Gallery for more vintage spandex goodness…
The Lone Ranger Rides Again!
I am extremely happy to anounce a new toy gallery at Plaidstallions, dedicated to what is definitely one of the finest and somewhat under rated action figure lines of the 1970s, Gabriel’s Lone Ranger.Thanks entirely to the generosity and support from collectors Bill Frost and Rob Chatlin, we now have on display what might be […]
