OK, so apparently actor Richard Anderson visited Kenner headquarters in 1977 and they presented him with a life sized version of Oscar Goldman’s exploding briefcase!

This month’s topic is some of the disappointing toy lines that have stemmed from our more beloved properties over the years. It’s totally done out of love (as we both freely admit we bought and still own a lot of this stuff) but we talk about toys for Men in Black, the Phantom, Star Trek […]

This is another toy line that I’m smitten with but just don’t have the money, space or time for. I especially covet that whacky inflatable rocket ship. I’ll circle back to you someday my precious…. If you haven’t checked out the cartoon series this is based on, do so immediately!!!!! More on this:
