I found this item at a Toy show yesterday, what attracted me to it wasn’t that it was Hulk related (more of Captain America guy) but that it was weird and I’d never seen one before. It’s also a television related piece which don’t pop up that often. The back shows the second poster, I […]
Halloween around here wouldn’t be the same without the store bought goodness that is Ben Cooper. If you were a child of the 70s or 80s, then you certainly knew their product. Cooper held some of the great licenses in 1981 including the Disney characters, both the DC and Marvel comics Superheroes, Clash of the […]
As ridiculous as the concept of these toys are, I have to admit that I think the little Hulk and Spidey figures they come with are awesome. You should buy these. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get three […]
In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we didn’t get spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer. The time when Captain America had a van, Spider-Man was a Von Trap child and Sinestro used to open for Sinatra. “Where are you coming from Spider-Man” explores what a Superhero loving child […]

American Aerosol Corporation began selling Crazy Foam in the 1960s but most 70s kids will remember for it the many licenses it had including the DC and Marvel Comics Superheroes. I can honestly remember choosing a tin of Robin Crazy Foam over getting a toy once. You have a pretty powerful product if […]
I know his “van” is actually more of a pick up truck but I’m not going to tell him.
Fleetwood Toys was a Rack Toy manufacturer famous for nabbing the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. For their 1984 catalog, there were a lot of new faces replacing previous characters “CHiPs” was now replaced with “TJ Hooker”, instead of “The Fall Guy” we’ve got the antics of the “A Team”, the Marvel Comics […]
I love the card art on these Imperial jump ropes but it’s kind of funny how once you take your “super pro jump rope” out of the power, you’ve removed any and all relationship it had to Spider-Woman. It is now just “ordinary jump rope with red handles”. Check out our upcoming book!
I can’t believe it’s been three years since I last did a “TV Comix” segment on this blog. To make up for it, I have a pretty big deal from 1979 in the form of the Incredble Hulk. Put on your purple pants and join me after the jump: British Annuals are always a good […]
