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. 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 […]
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…
More additions to our growing gallery of Rack toys, this is a nice carded example of a parachuting Penguin figure from Azrak Hamway. (Photo Courtesy of Bill Frost)Check out the AHI Batman Gallery for previous entries. On the Monster front, I’ve finally gotten my hands on a Frankenstein Jiggler from AHI, I really dig his […]
$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 […]
I would still go see Spider-Man to this day. Got a vintage Mall Appearance Photo? We want to see it! Drop us a line here.
I must have missed a meeting in the seventies, I had no idea there was a Sesame Street Play Doh set. This is all kinds of awesome and I’d like to send a set back in time to the four year old me. Right after I sent myself back in time for some shopping that […]
In 1975, Kenner produced a doll that was the brain child of special effects artist/director/writer Alan Ormsby who directed the film “Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things” and authored the classic scolastic book Movie Monsters which probably spawned a legion of Monster kids by itself. Hugo was a great concept, a puppet version of Lon […]
