Fleetwood Toys was a Rack Toy manufacturer famous for nabbing the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. For their 1982 catalog, CHiPS was the big in demand item for them as well as a new series “The Fall Guy”, many of the older staples such as Marvel Comic heroes, The Lone Ranger and cartoon favourites […]
I’ve often pondered aloud on this blog about shots (like this one of my pal TJ above) where Spidey appears to be wearing a funky medallion and basically my thoughts were of the “what’s up with that?” nature. Leave it to regular contributor Lynch to write in and tell me what is indeed up with […]
Lynch sent me this fantastic image of Rom, it’s the same one used for the “Marvel: Live and In Person” flier but it’s a better version of it, showing the whole outfit, which I have to say looks really good. Lynch was lucky enough to see Rom twice and makes mention of his voice : […]
Well, not really but this webslinger appearance sent in by John at the Navy base commisarry probably about 1976 is still pretty swell, love those “Electric Company” eyes.. . Send me your mall appearance photos!
Great line up of hereos here, the same I saw at Woolco as a kid. Think there was any boys excited about the Gnome? Check out the sweet deal on Mego dolls. Send me your mall appearance photos!
I find it really funny that ROM’s tie in comic book would prove to be the more popular item and actually the thing folks remember more than the toy line. I doubt either gentlemen at this meeting thought that would be the case at the time. For more ROM visit the 1979 Parker Brothers Electronics […]
John sent in this awesome picture circa 1978, I gotta say that Hulk costume is so full of righteousness probably because it’s not a comic book Hulk costume, that’s a Lou Ferrigno costume baby! Still time to enter our Halloween Contest, send your vintage Halloween pics or Monster collections on down to me here and you’re in.
Naming a toy company “Funstuf” is a pretty bold statement, luckily the company more than lived up to it’s namesake during the 1970s and 80s. During the late 1970s, the company was best known for it’s “Aniforms’ line of figures which were a unique concept that involved a rubber figure and an air pump. Funstuff […]
My good pal at Heroes West Coast suprised me last week with some pictures of a truly rare item that I could not afford to own. This display of Marvel Comics “Action Figures” (most of us would call these Jigglers) is both wonderful and well, odd. The assortment on the front kind of proves […]
Russ sent in this KILLER shot of him with the Hulk (can’t decide who looks more please, the Hulk or Russ) in what he believes is the late 1970s in the now-closed Century Plaza mall in Birmingham, AL. “Now closed mall” always makes me sad to hear. Thanks Russ! Send me your mall appearance photos!
