With no offense to Daddy Warbucks, the Dukes of Hazzard or the Smurfs but the WKRP record player is hands down the best one made in the 1980s. The “Sing Along” aspect allowed you to actually “Be” Dr. Johnny Fever or Venus Flytrap but likely no kid wanted to be Bucky. Also, I want to […]
Fisher Price Sesame Street Playhouse (eBay Link) – I cannot tell you all the hours of fun I had with this thing as a kid and later with my kids. This set now rests in my storage unit, awaiting grandchildren (of which there is no rush). I love this toy like an old friend. […]

Toy-Ventures this week is all about Crazy Foam, we get into the history of this unique product, and explore it’s origins including a recently restored commercial. We also deal with the fact that many of us are nostalgic for Superheroes vomiting on us in the tub. No wonder I see a therapist… Check out the […]
Baywatch Rack Toy (eBay Link) -‘ I post this not as a Baywatch fan (never seen one) but as a Rack Toy enthusiast. I know Baywatch played during the day a lot, but I think it was more popular with teen boys than kids. What warms my heart is that it’s essentially a ray gun, […]
