5 Awesome Things on eBay this week — Dr Strange, Jumbo Machinders, Micronauts and the Shadow teams up with Col. Sanders! (not really) The links are sponsored. Ben Cooper Dr. Strange Halloween Costume (eBay Affiliate Link) __ Doctor Strange got some merch in the late 1970s and early 1980s, likely due to his 1978 CBS […]
Slam Bam Diesels (eBay Link)– I do not recall this toy line, which brilliantly merges Smash Up Derby with RC cars. I will, however, be stealing “Slam Bam Diesels” should I ever form a dad garage band. Batman Stained Glass Kit (eBay Link) — I could do a “5 Awesome Batman crafts […]
Issue 10 starts with a stunning piece of art by Peter Carsillo, who told me he’d do a Pulsar cover ages ago should the need arise. So when I reached out, we began to explore concepts. When the idea of a movie poster came up, I mentioned “Infra-Man” probably because I was staring at it […]

I think this Kentucky Fried Chicken play set is one of the more charming toy concepts I’ve seen in a while. I’d also like to say I want that little Col. Sanders more than air currently. I guess this was even TV advertised, I certainly don’t remember the commercials.

Card #14 goes out to my pal Scott Adams. Scott and I work on the Megomuseum and this is his other obsession, Child Guidance Sesame Street Finger Puppets. Scott asked me a couple of weeks before this how I felt about doing a card like this and me being a Sesame Street nut, it was […]
Wrapping up Sesame Street week the only way I know how, with another catalog. Child Guidance was one of the bigger producers of Sesame Street Merchandising in the 1970’s, at this point they were a division of Gabriel (makers of the cool Lone Ranger line of toys) but eventually would become part of the Azrak […]
Found this neat picture in a catalogue recently, just a cool spread of Child Guidance Sesame Street toys mingled with the “original cast”. That unknown dude in the middle? That’s some sort of “Build a Muppet” that CG was selling at the time. Expect another Sesame Street Week this May, it’s long overdue.Links of interest: […]
ToyFair 1974: There is no limit to the amazing amount of Sesame Street products made in the 1970s, these puppets were some of the more memorable items.
