Oh my, do I love this toy. What with it’s shooting disks, ejectable shuttle and the fact that it’s a toy first and not some franklin mint piece. Sometimes, I think I appreciate something like this more than an exact replica. More on Dinky Toys very soon…
This new addition to the AHI Batman Gallery was a gift from my friend Bill. I’ve stared at it for a long time before I realized it wasn’t on the site. The card is just killer, I love that Batman. To my surprise I won this Bendy Creature from the Black Lagoon with little to […]
Paul Novak sent in these amazing shots from Chicago in 1975. As superhero appearances go, this is the top of the food chain. Adam West and Burt Ward live and in costume as Batman and Robin. Even though both mean still tour, you’ll never see them in their bat duds again.Burt Ward still looks like […]
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.

I found these wicked Bert and Ernie napkins rummaging through a box at my parents house, they’re from my fifth birthday party. To think, my mom almost threw these important pieces of “Brianana” away…

$0.88 for Crazy Foam, no wonder most of us threw it out when we were done. I’m positive some of it went into my stocking at least once, most likely a Robin. While most kids wanted to Batman as a kid, I thought the teenaged Dick Grayson was the coolest.
Card #14 goes out to my pal Scott Adams. Scott and I work on the Megomuseum and this is his other obsession, Child Guidance Sesame Street Finger Puppets. Scott asked me a couple of weeks before this how I felt about doing a card like this and me being a Sesame Street nut, it was […]
It’s hard to find vintage newspaper toy circulars, most people threw them out five minutes after reading. That’s a shame because they are such a neat and attractive way to see pop culture history. That’s why this toy circular from the Zayre stores is one of my favourites, first I was five years old when […]
