Ahhhhh the 1980s were a goldmine for costumed character appearances from toy lines weren’t they?
Do you have photos like this in a drawer? Any fun memories of the experience?


This is the kind of thing I’m looking for in my next book “Mall of Justice”.

How you can get involved: I’m looking for your photos and your recollections! Even if you’ve submitted them to the site before, I would likely need higher resolution and I’d want to talk to you.
What am i looking for: Appearances of costumed characters during the 1970s and 80s, be they from comic books (Batman, the Hulk) , cartoons (, toy lines (Masters of the Universe, GI Joe)  or movies (Planet of the Apes, Star Wars) , a date and place and a description of how you felt meeting these iconic characters. Did you think they were real? 

Does it have to specifically be in a mall: 
HECK NO! Car shows, county fairs, grocery stores, heck I’d even accept birthday party shots. It’s all fair game.

I wasn’t a kid when Imperial Toys got the Universal Monster license (and I’ll touch upon this more next week) but I do have nostalgia for the line. There was a Frankenstein bop bag in the back of a KB Toys in Western NY that I visited for the majority of the late 80s and early 90s. I kept flirting with picking it up but never pulled the trigger.
 
 At one point I spent the $10 on Nirvana’s “Nevermind” cassette across the mall instead. I know that sounds like a a ramble but nostalgia can be a weird, winding road sometimes.
