Colouring Book Theatre: Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes

Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes Souvenir Book This is one of the happier finds I’ve had this year, not only do I collect memorabilia from this mid 1970s stage show but it’s a coloring book to boot. If that wasn’t enough, this item teaches me a little bit about the show itself which is good because […]

Super Sharp

This past weekend while I set up at Canadian Toycon, my son made a comment about what he hoped to find and how I’ll probably go home with nothing, as usual. This is usually the case, as I’m pretty much into oddball things while he loves that unsold Star Wars prequel merchandise, toy shows are pretty much […]

To the space pole!

It’s weird but quite common that in the late sixties, a lot of Batman knock offs in the late 1960s simply replaced “Bat” with “Space”, which is far less lazy than “Catman” I guess… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us […]

Batman with Robin: live and in person!

One of my favourites from my burgeoning collection of such things. Do you think if I write my address and tomorrow’s date on this in magic marker, that they’ll show up and spend the day with me? Send me your mall appearance photos!

Pod Stallions 5: Where are you coming from Spider-Man?

In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we didn’t get spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer. The time when Captain America had a van, Spider-Man was a Von Trap child and Sinestro used to open for Sinatra. “Where are you coming from Spider-Man” explores what a Superhero loving child […]

Batman and the Orange Hand

Batman and the Orange Hand My friend Todd from Hake’s Americana sent me this incredible bit of 1970s weirdness. It’s a UK promotional catalog where Batman solves a case inexplicably by buying a young boy some polyester pants and a few sweaters.  Never has there ever been an item so fitting to what this website […]

Bugs Bunny (and Batman) in Space Poster

My good friend, Jason in San Diego sent in this image for the awesome poster to the sequel to “Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes” show, “Bugs Bunny in Space”. I think i like it even more, especially since it seems to trying to cash in on Star Wars a little bit. I also wonder if […]

Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes Poster

I’ve had this for almost two years but it just recently dawned on me I’ve never shared it here. Things have been slow on the mall appearance submissions lately (please don’t make me beg, nobody needs to see that) so I thought I’d begin a series of my collection of Superhero appearance photos. This one […]

Holy Bike Safety Batman!

Apologies for the hack title, stuff like this always sucks me in. I don’t collect bike reflectors but it’s vintage, has an iconic image and usually can be found at Toy shows for $5 to $10. Before you can say “Why did I buy this?” it’s already in my car.

1974 APC Puzzle Catalog

Check out the cool Puzzle displays here This one’s a little light this week, I’ve been battling the flu lately but next week […]
