Help me R2 D2, you’re my only hope

Simon of The Art Hustle sent in this glorious shot of his wife circa 1978 in Jackson, Mississippi at a movie theatre event with “R2 D2”. Note the wonderful hand painted Star Wars collage in the background. I pretty much love all mall appearance shots I get in but these home grown Star Wars ones have become […]

Now this is a Halloween Costume

I stumbled upon this auction and it’s so up my alley that it bugs me. This is an original Captain America Mall Appearance suit by Marvel. I saw Captain America at Woolco when I was five, so needless to say, my non ownership of this is a problem.  I am off to buy some lotto […]

Some Universal Monster Madness

Bill sent in this awesome shot of him getting choked by the Phantom of the Opera at Universal Studios, I’m assuming by the Fonzie shirts this is 1976ish. I rarely get Uni Monster appearance shots submitted,  so I absolutely love this. Send me your mall appearance photos!

Aquaman’s Death Defying Stunt

Jonathan sent these awesome photos of his family’s trip to sea world in, explaining that we’ve never mentioned Aquaman’s dive from a tower into a ring of fire before. He’s right, I hadn’t heard of that stunt but it seems totally appropriate for the King of the Sea to handle it over that spotlight hogging […]

Mall Appearances of the Apes

Thought it would be fitting to do a piece on the various Planet of the Apes mall appearances we’ve collected over the years. The one above came in from the UK circa 1977 (Apes popularity lingered there) Scott sent me this classic of him and Cornelius at a Long Island Toy Store, dig the Mego […]

Man E Faces hits the Mall

Also from Mathew is this shot of Man E Faces at the same Toys R Us Skeletor was in. Great costume! Also in the picture is the lessor known MOTU character, Clerk-o!  Thanks Mathew! Send me your mall appearance photos!

Skeletor goes shopping

Mathew sent in a series of fun 80s mall appearance pics, starting with this fun one of a happier than normal Skeletor at a Toys R Us appearance. Thanks Mathew! Send me your mall appearance photos!

Coolest Spidey Ever

Robbie also sent in this great late 70s Monkey Wards appearance of him and Spidey. How cool is that Spider-Man? He’s got killer eyes (kind of reminds me of Deadpool) and Web Shooters? Those details win me over. Send me your mall appearance photos!
