While action figure giant Mego was busy swooping up all the comic book and science fiction properties it could for their 8″ action figure lines, rival toy maker LJN was going after a different sort of hero. In the seventies, LJN pursued the men in uniform namely the TV shows Emergency and The Rookies, both […]
Yeah, I did another batch of trading cards that I’ll slowly reveal on slow news days. The first being my favourite catalog spread of all time, so it’s surprising it didn’t come out earlier. There are something so damn awesome about seeing two of my favourite toylines (in this case the Lincoln Monsters and the […]
It’s hard to find vintage newspaper toy circulars, most people threw them out five minutes after reading. That’s a shame because they are such a neat and attractive way to see pop culture history. That’s why this toy circular from the Zayre stores is one of my favourites, first I was five years old when […]
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.
With the release of “the Dark Knight” this weekend (which I can’t see until next week, grrrr!) it seemed apt to pay homage to the multitude of merchandising that has been created in the Caped Crusader’s name, particularly during the 1970’s. How did Bruce Wayne make his millions? Merchandising! No Superhero is a bigger pimp […]

These eight inch Mego inspired figures debuted in the mid 1970’s by Lincoln International, these figures saw distribution in the United Kingdon, Europe and much of North America. They’re also […]
They’re on a mission and ladies, failure is not an option. I’m still working on it but be sure to check out the MegoMuseum Blog for coverage of Megomeet later on today, I gots some fancy moving pictures and everything!
Some nice new additions to our Gallery of Rack Toys today, the concentration being on Azarak Hamway or AHI (which I find surprising how many folks call it “Ahheee”). Above is an amazing dual branded package for Star Trek/Space:1999 Jet Disks. You wouldn’t see stuff like this today. This is courtesy of Will Frost. Also […]
I’ve mentioned this before but Bop Bags truly confuse me, why would you want to beat the crap out of your favourite character? This Captain America Bop Bag is ever worse, isn’t he the sentinel of liberty? Isn’t throwing a punch at old cap a bit like punching the flag? If you had one of […]
