Tomland (a UK Company who was in the Marx family of companies) marketed these fun and strange 8 inch mego-like action figures under a variety of names but the best known is “Star Raiders” which were obviously meant to cash in on the renewed interest in Sci Fi thanks entirely to “Star Wars” coming on […]
Now that I’ve introduced you to AHI‘s Action Apeman line, it seems only fitting to get you acquainted with Warrior, Artemus, Myra and Dr Zorma, otherwise known as the Astro Apes. If the Action Apemen were blatant ripoffs (and they were) then the Astro Apes would need to go down as the “Most Blantantest Rippyoffiest Ever”. […]
It is with great pride that I open up the ordering for the Brick Mantooth doll. Some important information: This is just for Brick, it does not include the Mego Museum Supercollector outfit, those will be back in stock in mid August at the same URL. (The mini museums are a pain to make) This is the first batch, […]
Growing up, one of my favourite Superheroes of all time was Marvel Comic’s Sentinel of Lberty, Captain America! Which is totally weird because I’m Canadian, but I digress. As a child, the good Captain adorned a ton of merchandise that I do not own. Fortunately, I know one of Cap’s biggest fans Tim A (Marvelmania on the […]
You know here and in my other life at the MegoMuseum, I’ve often ignored the Cher toy line which is odd because a) She was huge in the 1970s and b)Cher was a huge freaking deal for Mego. It’s a glaring oversight seeing as I’ve never known a world without Cher and I promise to […]
Recently discovered in the basement of Odeon Toys Founder Vic Machismo’s house, this commercial for the Brick Mantooth doll hasn’t seen air since the fall of 1976, when it aired on Buffalo 29 at 3:30 am in between a rerun of “Room 222” and another rerun of “Room 222”. We are happy to unveil this unique […]
While I shared the Super Collector Factory test shots at the Mego Museum a while back, I never revealed the factory test shots for Brick himself. I put Brick’s production into the careful hands of Paul “Dr Mego” Clarke and I gotta say, he treated my brain child as one of his own. When I […]
Located in Kentucky, Johnny’s Toys was one of those independant Toy retailers you sorely miss in this day and age. The store was very customer friendly, sending children birthday cards that contained a key that could unlock a free gift on their next visit. In addition, they printed these fun catalogs that showcased some of […]
It’s real as in real soon peeps, Happy Holidays!
I cannot think of a better update for our fifth anniversary other than doing another vintage toy store update. When I set out to create the original vintage toy store gallery for the site, I never imagined I’d get to part 2 let alone roman numeral X! Being a toy nerd this is my favourite section […]
