Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link) — This Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs as well. The backer card of course, is famous for how Space Flyman “beats off” his enemies and trust me, I lean on that comedy crutch a […]

This Official Fonzie Jacket complete with “autographed photo” is the very peak of “Fonziemania” in 1976. I certainly remember being all in on that sort of thing having a shirt, a button, pillowcase and of course the Mego doll. Now, my kids call Fonzie “that guy on the pillowcase”.

It’s somewhat understandable that teens and pre-teens wanted to be more like this leather clad rebel so we can forgive this young man doing his best “Ayyyy” here. Somehow though, it’s just unforgivable when you see a grown […]
Venity Fair was one of the leading makers of electronics for children, which by 1977 standards meant they sold radios, walkie talkies and other items that look like stone tools to today’s generation.. What sets them apart is the breadth of licensed items they produced, take 1977 for instance where we got a variety of […]
