Spider-Man is at Port Holiday Mall
Man, the way this guy got around. If Spider-Man were a real celebrity, I think there would be a lot of fatherless children who could climb walls from coast to coast.

Meet Darth Vader and “Chewbakka”
“Characteristic Representation” means that Darth Vader will sound like the stock boy and “Chewbakka” will likely look like this: Oh well, we were kids and didn’t notice things like Chewbakka was a left over Planet of the Apes costume…..

Colouring Book Theatre: Benji
It’s time to bring the pain again with this gem from 1978. Benji as most 70’s kids know was an adorable trained dog that starred in a series of films and was the brain child of Joe Camp. I found this at the same truck stop/flea market that I bought the horrible Fantastic Four Book […]
1978 Child Guidance Sesame Street Catalog
Wrapping up Sesame Street week the only way I know how, with another catalog. Child Guidance was one of the bigger producers of Sesame Street Merchandising in the 1970’s, at this point they were a division of Gabriel (makers of the cool Lone Ranger line of toys) but eventually would become part of the Azrak […]
Darth Vader wants to put you in a new Chevrolet!
Thomas Berry sent me this wonderful flashback to add to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery. It’s the Lord of the Sith himself at Joe Romania Cherolet Dealership in Eugene, Oregon back in October 1978. Thomas also mentions a Jawa but he seems to be camera shy. Thomas tells me he keeps these photos in a […]
Super Joe VS Terron Trading Card
This is the final Plaid Stallions trading card for the summer, I’m not sure why I didn’t reveal it earlier but here it is, ta-dah! I have a soft spot for Super Joe and when I found this image, I rushed it to press. I’ve already laid out my next two cards and they will […]
Electroman VS Zogg
I found this great ad for Ideal ElectroMan in the back of a give away comic (more on that later) and thought it would be fun to showcase here. I find Electroman a pretty dorky looking figure, his whole concept is like ROM mixed with a really primitive version of laser tag. That headpiece would […]
Suicide is Painless…
I was surprised when doing my Metal Men feature last week to discover that Zee Toys also made a line of M*A*S*H items. M*A*S*H was one of my favorite shows growing up but I never had much desire to play it, probably because it was much of a drama/comedy than it was really about war. […]
Diecast Heroes
Corgi was a legend in the diecast car industry, certainly because of the quality and it’s licensed goods. Corgi was best known to children of the Seventies as the maker of “that batmobile” we all owned. By 1978, Corgi was grabbing every TV movie license it could and producing some of the finest diescast toy […]
