I’ve been digging around in vintage Toy Trade publications this past month and let me tell you, 1977 was not prepared for what hit it. Above is a piece from the summer of 1977 showing George Lucas and Gary Kurtz visiting Kenner, it’s pretty bland and certainly doesn’t give the impression that the whole game […]
OK, so apparently actor Richard Anderson visited Kenner headquarters in 1977 and they presented him with a life sized version of Oscar Goldman’s exploding briefcase! So that means, that (hopefully) in Richard Anderson’s house, he has a 1/1 scale version of one of the greatest action figure accessories ever made. I simply have to know where this is, I […]
There aren’t many better ways to spend an afternoon in 1980 than acting out a “Buck Rogers on Tatooine” storyline.

I’ve joked about the Bionic Video Center in the past but there is no way as a kid that I wouldn’t have wanted this. Steve is reliving his glory days, he needs a six pack. Bionic Favourites:
While I’m happy Kenner married Star Wars with Play Doh and will agree that Hoth made an excellent choice, I am still completely bitter that I will never be able to make a Play Doh Lobot….
It’s been nearly two years since we discussed all things Star Wars and what better time than when we all got teased with the further adventures of Luke Skywalker and crew.
