I wasn’t a kid when Imperial Toys got the Universal Monster license (and I’ll touch upon this more next week) but I do have nostalgia for the line. There was a Frankenstein bop bag in the back of a KB Toys in Western NY that I visited for the majority of the late 80s […]
This past summer I encountered something I didn’t know existed and yet I could not live without, it’s a bit of rack toy joy. Much more after the jump: It’s an unused display box of AHI wind up little walkers and while it’s obvious these (a) aren’t manufactured by AHI and (b) are not licensed, the […]
While many of you may have been aware of this vintage bendy from toymaker GLJ, I was blissfully unaware at how cool it was. I periodically search GLJ on Ebay in hope of finding a Monster Squad Frank Bop Bag (someday) and this little guy popped up instead. It was love at first sight, the figure […]
I LOVE it when folks share their collections with me, especially when it’s stuff near and dear to my heart like Monster toys. John was kind enough to give us a peak into his lair today and it’s a drool worthy assortment of old and new, more after the jump. If you dare! A lot […]
Today’s Friday feature puts us in 1978 and the Mattel Shgoun Warriors line is in full swing with new additions such as the king of all monsters Godzilla! Which in terms of additions to teams, is pretty spectacular. It’s a Jumbo Machinder goodtime with the 1978 Mattel Shogun Warriors Catalog. More Shogun Warriors
A wonderful update as our Halloween Countdown progresses a look at the HG Toys classic Godzilla playset which includes a story of kindness and a tale of nerd vindication, all that and a new Plaidstallions Trading card, after the jump. Readers of this blog might recall that I have had a near life long ambition to […]
HG Toys was a company known for applying licenses to their staple of role playing items, puzzles and playsets. In 1980, they rocked the 25th century with Buck Rogers, explored the seedy streets of Vega$ and smashed a few cities with Godzilla. Shoot they even made Fantasy Island merchandise, what’s not to love? Check out the […]
I got a new member to my expanding “toy family” a few weeks back and I couldn’t be happier. This is the HG toys Godzilla figure from their awesome “Godzilla Vs the Tricephalon” playset released in 1979. I saw it in the back of Famous Monsters magazine as a kid and knew one day I […]
Not only did I get a plush Godzilla in my stocking for Christmas ’80 but I still have it, he currently resides in my daughter’s room. The Godzilla cartoon was a huge favourite of mine growing up as was the Marvel comic, no wonder so many 70s kids grew up digging the Big G. I […]
Well, it’s one of those days where your teacher is too hung over to do anything so he just wheels in the projector. In my case, I’m sick but it works just as well. I thought it would be fine time to showcase these commercials from our DVD showcasing a character near and dear to […]
