Who didn’t love Puzzles in a can? American Publishing Corporation sure knew what kids liked in 1974, their collection included the DC comics Superheroes, Universal Monsters, Dinosaurs even the Lone Ranger himself! Check out the cool Puzzle displays here This one’s a little light this week, I’ve been battling the flu lately but next week […]
In 1977, Marx Toys launched the Ready Gang a beautiful line of 9″ action figures from the old west with little to no back story (seriously are these guys outlaws for good guys?) and it quietly flopped in the market place.

Not known for action figures previously, the company spared no detail in the figures, their horses or the multitude of accessory packs. Announcement Time: I am taking a short sabbatical from the interweb […]
I don’t own any of the Gabriel Lone Ranger series nor did I as a kid but I do have a lot of respect for it. It’s one of the best made toy lines of the 70’s and holds it own. Case in point this Carson City playset, what a quality product this is. I’m […]
