Marvel Heroes Live In Person
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!
Rom Com
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 […]
Tiny Hulk Smash!
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.
1980 Funstuf Catalog
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 […]
One Strange Marvel Team Up
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 […]
Hulk HUG!
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!
The Marvel Superheroes go to Washington
It doesn’t more 70s than this, the Marvel Superheroes (including Spider-Woman, whom I’ve had a crush on since 1979, *sigh*) and the Carter family. For those wondering, that is absolutely Jonathan Frakes as Captain America there. I never expected to have a shot like this so close to the last one but it’s a most welcome surprise. […]
Captain or is that Commander America?
This ad for licensing Captain America products from 1981 is interesting not only to comic fans but also trek people ( can’t remember if “trekkie” or “trekker” is offensive so I’ll steer away from that controversy, thank you) as I’m 90% certain that’s none other than Commander William Riker actor Jonathan Frakes under that ill […]
When Captain America Throws His Mighty Shield…
All those at the Columbus car show must yield! Another winner from Larry, this time it’s Captain America, the perfect hero for the fourth of July weekend. Cap was pretty busy with appearances around this time. Again I have to say huge props to Larry for these wonderful shots, check out his site for classic […]
Tim and Spidey
Tim sent in the great picture of him and Spider-Man at a Boscov’s in 1977, he’s got more pictures and a wonderful story surrounding that day at his blog . Click here to check out Tim’s blog and “The day he met Spider-Man (sort of)”
