Jaws: The #1 Selling Game of 1976
They mention the TV Spots but I don’t think i have seen it in 40 years.
Pod Stallions 39: The 2015 Retro Awards
Happy New Year! It’s time for our annual salute to all the things that made us happy in 2015, especially those that harkened back to our childhoods and brother, did we have a lot to smile about. The 2015 Retro Awards salutes the movies, books, magazines and toys we raved about this year and we […]
Spotlight: Funko Jaws Reaction Figures
It’s been a long time since I did a photo review of a modern toy, this is mainly because I don’t buy that many modern toys. Funko’s Jaws line was a break in that drought. I haven’t been much into the ReAction stuff as I thought I would be, mostly because the licenses don’t appeal […]
Space Shark
Man, I loves me some copyright infringing knock offs and Space Shark here is a triple play! The front featuring Mark from “Battle of the Planets” getting an assist by the Argo from “Star Blazers” neither which tie into the shark motif very well but rest assured…. Space Jaws is on the side panel! What […]
Pod Stallions Episode 23: Monster Movies
As we are both lovers of Monster Cinema or some call it “Creature Features” it makes sense for J and B to count down their top ten favourite Monster movies. By favourite, we do not mean “best” or greatest, just our personal favourites. Our top tens vary wildly which makes for an interesting discussion, Jason […]
Jaws like
The one window of opportunity of a blockbuster like Jaws is you can’t copyright a Shark! Every rack toy maker (like Justen here) cranked out a Great White for years and made a ton of legitimate money as a result. And there wasn’t a thing Steven Spielberg could do about it….. Rack Toys: Cheap, […]
Jaws Game: Start to Finish
I found these images in a shareholders report and it gives a very rare look into the toy manufacturing world in 1977. Above is the Ideal assembly plant in Newark New Jersey, sure the plastic parts were made in Hong Kong but back then everything was assembled states side and the box was also printed […]
Toy Sharks
My buddy Julian sent this in, total love at first sight for me (the toy, not Julian although I’m sure he’s swell too). Jaws was of course, a massive pop culture phenomenon the likes of which we rarely see. The greatest thing to toy makers is, you can’t copyright a shark! So even though there […]
What i wish to be buried in…
I think it’s pretty self explanatory…. Also I’m aware that i will have to buried face down for this to be effective, i’m in a good place about that.
1976 Imperial Toys Catalog
Halloween is always the best time to talk about rack toys, specifically ones made by Imperial Toy Corporation, who had a year round selection of rubber bats, bugs and skeletons. 1976 also had the distinction of being the year that Imperial wisely got the “Jaws” license and marketed a series of cool inflatable toys. Check out […]
