I have a fond memory of these kits, there was a “Bionic Bust-Out” in my local variety store from the day they came out up until I graduated high school. I always planned on buying it but never did, I still sometimes go there to see if it’s accidently buried on a shelf…. Here’s Lee […]
Lili Ledy was Mexico’s premiere toy manufacturer and because of trade restrictions, all toys they sold had to be manufactured in Mexico.

The title of this post could have easily been “Lee Majors plays with himself” but I had a rare bout of restraint.

My Pal Sharry sent me this one based on the classic 70’s TV series. The book is by Rand McNally. the people best known for Road Atlases and the like. You’d think they’d have come up with a kid’s division name but this is back when the company expanded into children’s products. The art in […]
Tom Bligh proudly shows off his Maskatron figure, man, that was one fun toy. A young Rob Kelly admires his Uncle Fred’s can collection. I used to make a punch with Tahitian Treat and Rum back in college that tasted just like budget cough syrup. Rob’s T shirt suggests a Batman fan but now he’s […]
I am totally in love with this ad for the Fun Stuf Electro Genic Arm, obviously a toy made to cash in on the popularity of Steve Austin, it’s just piece of plastic with a circuit sticker on it that a child uses to simulate that they’re bionic That is what’s so incredibly cool about […]
