As a follow up to the YouTube Short I did (see above) , I thought I would post some photos of this fun set. Exclusively sold in the 1975 Montgomery Ward’s catalog, this was one of two casual outfit packs for the LJN “The Rookies” action figures. I’ve never seen a single episode of the […]
Toy-Ventures takes a loving look at one of the first Fisher-Price Adventure People sets from 1975. The Wild Animal safari was also the first set I had as a kid. Is it as good as I remember? #toyventures #fisherprice #adventurepeople The Lincoln Monsters Backer Kit Store is now open to the public. […]
Plaid Stallions wouldn’t exist without wishbooks, especially the ones I grew up with. I’m attempting to bring out some of my favourites druing December. I vividly remember getting this one tucked in the Saturday Star as kid. This is from Simpson’s a long since deceased (but missed) retailer. The action figure selection is pretty awesome […]

Over the weekend, I found a wonder 1975 newspaper flyer/catalogue from Eatons. For those not in the know, Eaton’s was Canada’s department store chain and a really big deal back in the day.
