Doctor Who Trading Card

Card #24 is the Densy Fisher Doctor Who line, it may seem weird to do a Mego line here considering the Megomuseum cards but I’m not sure when we’re ever going to get around to this line and me being a monster fan, just had to do it. I consider it a foreign mego subset. […]

The Joker at Sea World Part 1

JD strikes again with this amazing shot of the Joker and his hench man from the Sea World superheroes show. I find the joker mask they use really creepy but yet, I cannot look away. For more on this check out our gallery. And if you have anything to add, I’d be your friend for […]

A celebration of the Intruders

In 1976, Hasbro decided to change the game for it’s G.I. Joe line, hoping to improve sales. So not only did Joe get a Superheroic sidekick in Bulletman but he also got his first bonafied enemy. Before then, Joe always seemed to fight a faceless foe or an angry animal. I guess you could count […]

Ideal 1976 Evel Knievel Catalog

By 1976, Ideal Toys was coasting a very powerful wave of having one of the top selling toys in the country. Evel Knievel was a household name and despite announcing his retirement twice in 1975, returned to jump buses and he attempted to jump a tank full of sharks (inspired by Jaws, another Ideal toys […]

Light Up Drawing Desks

Here is some great old school stuff, I actually had a Disney one (still have it somewhere) and it bears the marks from when I ran out of paper and drew on the desk itself. I didn’t say I was a smart kid… DVD Winners: Thanks for the entheusiastic response to my 70s Toy Explosion […]

Spider-Man pops a Wheelie?

You don’t see a great deal of AHI stuff in department store catalogs but the Zoom cycles were a little higher price point and combined superheroes with Evel Knievel, so it’s a no brainer. This page is from the 1976 Azrak Hamway Catalog and shows that Spider-Man, Batman and Doctor Zaius were in the coolest […]

More S.W.A.T!

Great that theme song ain’t leaving my head anytime soon. Eventhough I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen an episode of this series, I will admit to thinking that playset of theirs is one of the coolest vinyl sets the 70s had to offer. I’m a sucker for anything that has those old giant reel […]

The Undead Wobble but Refuse to Fall Down

One of the reasons I think Weebles remained popular for so long was their choice of subject matter. I mean, Weebles had horror and Superheroes, things Fisher Price never touched and pretty much all I think about during the day, save for sandwiches and well, you know…
