David T sent in a big pile of goodies recently and I think my favourite of all is this cool pic of Captain America shaking hands at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ in 1976. That shield is awesome. Send us your Mall Appearance photos!
Matt submitted these cool black and white shots of Captain America and the Hulk at the opening of the Bangor Mall (in Maine, of course) circa 1978. He also believes he has shots of Spider-Man and Darth Vader from the same event, stay tuned.Send us your Mall Appearance photos!
I’ve got a real appreciation for these well sculpted Marx figures now but I have to be honest, as a kid I did not enjoy them. Occasionally I’d find a Superhero or a soldier in someone’s toy box and think “who’d want this?”. I guess I was spoiled by Mego at that point, so much […]
Free Spider Buttons? That would motivate me now to be first in line let alone as a kid….Send us your Mall Appearance photos!

I loves me some Steve Rogers. Got his autograph once and he signed it on his shield… Do you have a vintage Mall Appearance shot? Send it on down! Check out the Mall Appearance Gallery for more vintage spandex goodness…
Carman was generous enough this week to send me a DVD of home movies from the late 70s, in there was this incredible clip of the Marvel Superheroes at Six Flags. I can begin to put into words how cool I think this is. What’s also cool is that these are the same costumes from […]
I’m working on another update for the Gallery of Rack Toys when I saw something I’d never seen before. Fleetwood Toys had the Marvel License so they coyly repackaged some army men with the Sgt. Fury brand. Sarge doesn’t get enough merchandise so I’m especially smitten with this discovery. The other cool thing about these […]
I would still go see Spider-Man to this day. Got a vintage Mall Appearance Photo? We want to see it! Drop us a line here.
