Lightning Bug

Mantooth — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Most people would hear the word Mego and associate it with the eight inch action figure craze they created in the 1970s that still has enduring fandom. However, the company started out as a producer of low cost “Hush Up Toys” which we now call “Rack Toys”. The majority of the companies output is largely uncataloged, it’s something I hope to do in the coming months.

Rack Toys is available!

Billy Blast Off

Mantooth — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:01:00 +0000

I’m a couple of years too young to have enjoyed the adventures of this Japanese import (created by Tomy, Billy was brought to the Western world by a company called Eldon) but some folks I know that did grow up with it often get giddy upon it’s mention..

Rubber Snakes, Alligators and Poopatroopers

Mantooth — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0000

It’s amazing how much stuff like rubber snakes and alligators are part of childhood, we just seem drawn to these kinds of items when we’re kids. Imperial Toys seemed to have a great handle on this and seeing as how they’re still in business to this day, this stuff sells. I’m pretty sure I had an Alfie Alligator.
Poopatroopers, ten cents well spent…

The Wonderful World of Blythe

Mantooth — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:05:00 +0000

It’s amazing how this very Mod little doll was virtually unknown until 25 years after she was cancelled when it became a pop culture phenom thanks to the photography of Gina Garan. This is the Kenner catalog from 1972 and Blythe only gets a single page (click on it for a larger view) now she’s a full blown icon.Google the Blythe story one of these days, it’s a good read.

Love is…

Mantooth — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:04:00 +0000

Love is dressing alike, so it looks like you are wearing some sort of uniform. It’s almost as if you work at some sort of romantic version of McDonalds except your name tags would read “Punkin’ Pants” and “Mr.Ticklefarts”. I miss a lot of things from the 1970s but couples dressing alike ain’t one of them.
