Adventure Team Wear
Ed sent me this wonderful ad from Brazil (where G.I. Joe is called Falcon)of a line of boys wear that features the classic G.I. Joe Adventure Team artwork. That “Danger of the Depths” shirt would have so been mine…..
Batpod 1976
Imagine how different a movie the Dark Knight might have been if Christian Bale had emerged from the Batmobile riding this. I wonder if he’d put on the batsuit and ride this for me?
Bicentennial Bedroom Overload
Now I know what Captain America’s bedroom looks like.
Camping with Bert and Ernie
As weird as this set seems, my kids have a modern version if this that’s almost entirely the same except Elmo is now crowbarred in there. Bert looks totally at home on a chopper, I should have known he was an outlaw biker.
Mobile Action Command Challenge
Matchbox’s Mobile Action Command is one of those fun toys a lot of people had but have no idea what they were called. These guys had a real limited back story and I honestly don’t remember if they had any sort of TV advertising. I was surprised to find out as an adult they were […]
Charlton Heston Not Included
Ever since I first saw it in the 1976 Remco Catalog, I’ve been a little fascinated by the Earth Quake Tower Playset, which obviously was inspired by the many works of Irwin Allen and the disaster craze of the early seventies. It’s kind of morbid but if I had seen it as a kid, i’d […]
Captain America visits Illinois
I loves me some Steve Rogers. Got his autograph once and he signed it on his shield… Do you have a vintage Mall Appearance shot? Send it on down! Check out the Mall Appearance Gallery for more vintage spandex goodness…
Perk up your Parties!
With the holidays approaching one might consider purchasing some of this crap to make the booze flow a little better (drunk=perky). Might I suggest the little boy peeing dispener? that’s always worth a laugh. Truth be told, my wife inherited the R Lamp seen here recently from a relative, I’m oddly proud of it. After […]
Random scenes from a 70’s department store
I recently got a copy of a catalog from a Dolgin’s department store (I’ve never heard of them either) and I loved the little images on the cover. People in a mustard yellow store buying mustard yellow things and even though these are likely staged shots, there is some nostalgia to be had. Ah the […]
Playset Love
While the Marx Naverone set is cool and you can never go wrong with some plastic dinosaurs (especially in combination with the army men!) I think the big star for me here is the Martian landing playset.Astronauts, vehicles and that Big wheel space station? That’s all i need. I’m pretty sure you can still find […]
