Batman Crazy Foam (eBay Link)– I was obsessed with Crazy Foam as a kid, still am. I am just glad I don’t have a fetish where people in superhero costumes puke on me. That would be messy. Mexican Planet of the Apes Record (eBay Link)– I have zero idea what kind of music this […]
Bat Vehicles For Fast Footed Crime Chasers Bat Vehicles For Fast Footed Crime Chasers. Now, I want to preface this all by saying I had a great childhood, just like my tattoo says, “No Regerts”. However, every time I gleam past this page in the Sears catalogue, I sense a disturbance in the force. The […]
I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes […]
Super Happy to announce that Issue 9 of Toy-Ventures Magazine is on the press and will be shipping this month. Issue 9 is jam-packed with vintage toy goodness. Walloping Websnappers: Vincent Cerbone shares this strange 8” Tong Inc. Spider- Man discovery from France. Mego Planet of the Apes Part 6 Our ongoing coverage of the […]
I had a little fun with this page from a catalogue for a chain called “Johnny’s Toys.” I love that it’s clearly 1976, and they’re still advertising a Mego Removable Cowl Batman. I don’t believe that would be what you got at that time. It’s also an epic assortment; the only thing missing is Crazy […]
The Most Incredible Van in the world (eBay Link) My friend Steve sent me this mainly because it looks like the real-world version of Brick Mantooth’s Van-Tooth. It’s always been my dream to live in a cool van of this nature. Not sure about the nekkid lady mural but I’ll cross that bridge after I […]
Larami was well known for some of my favourite Rack Toy output in the 1970s and 80s. However, the one thing that I am mildly obsessed with for their oddity is the so-called “Super Heroes Skates.” They’re cheap roller skates shaped like Super Heroes or are they Super Heroes shaped like Roller Skates? They all […]
It’s hard to believe, but just a short time ago we had the wacky idea to record the pop culture-centric phone chats we regularly had, in the hopes that there’d be a few other people out there that would find them amusing. Seems our instincts were right, cuz we shut our eyes, hit the gas, […]
Loving this UK advertisement for Our Way Studios Jointed Giants Super Heroes. I wanted these really bad as a kid, heck I’d still love to get the Planet of the Apes Galen. They weren’t terribly expensive either, I just never saw them as a kid other than Heroes World advertisements. A while back we posted […]
