Aw yeah more 70s Frankenstein submissions! This one is from Seth who met the monster outside the House of Frankenstein wax museum in Lake George, NY the summer of 1977. I’ve always wanted to visit the House of Frankenstein, which is still in operation and opens next week. Thanks to Seth for the awesome photo. […]
This wonderful piece from December 1977 arrived this week and while I plan to show case the whole thing in loving detail next Christmas, it’s just to good not to share at least a little bit right now. Above is the Mattel Space:1999 Eagle which I think is on my 2014 wish list. I think […]
I found this game at a toy show a while back, it’s dated 1977 and is made by Hasbro but I have no recollection of ever seeing it before. The vendor was a friend and told me to take it for five dollars, i hadn’t bought anything that day so it was a pretty quick […]
The folks at Good Old Vintage sent over a snap of this awesome Captain America appearance poster, sadly it’s already been sold. As a collector of such things, it’s amazing to see a poster for Cap, who likely less in demand than Spider-Man. I heart this…. Send me your mall appearance photos!
Dylan (pictured in the middle just below Darth’s fusebox) sent in this wonderful shot from 1977 when the dark lord of the sith popped into a, Iron Mountain, MI Burger Chef for lunch. Actually he was there to promote the Burger Chef giveaway premiums (which by the way are completely awesome, why didn’t you guys […]
I have a real obsession with toy makers giving Super Heroes who are largely anti-gun, a gun. The most galling is Batman, Spider-man comes a close second as he’s also a victim of gun related violence but the caped crusader is the weirdest to me. Remco got around this by making it a light gun […]
I was thumbing through the Kenner catalogs a while back (I know how to spend a Saturday night) and I came across these, very odd tie ins that I hadn’t included when I built the Bionic galleries. It’s Steve Austin for the preschool set, a bike (cause a Bionic man needs one) that makes the […]
In 1977 Bionic Man-ia (get it?) was still running so high that kids everywhere were asking Santa for a doll of a middle aged man in a bad sports coat (self included BTW). So the only logical thing to do was expand upon the licenses offerings (I’m writing this sipping out of a Bionic Man […]
It’s been a while since I went on about my obsession with Mego’s short lived “CB Mchaul” toy line, inspired by the country’s fleeting obsession with trucker culture. By the time Ol’ CB hit toy shelves, the whole thing was starting to wind down making the line (especially the carded figures) difficult to find. I […]
I’m finally coming to grips with the actual amount of time I probably spent watching the Donny and Marie show, sure the choice to watch it was made by my older sister, who at five years my senior could totally take me. However, I will attest to kind of enjoying the experience. I watched a lot of […]
