Holly Hobby and Fonzie Radios by Vanity Fair

Mantooth — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 15:02:39 +0000

Vanity Fair made some unique licensed radios and turntables in the 70s. I particularly love the wrist radio (used for things like James Bond and Space: 1999) for Holly Hobby is surreal. However, it is all redeemed by the Fonzie jukebox, which functions as a prop for your Mego figures.

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got 7 issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.

Our latest book is “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” a love letter to cheeky copyright-infringing toys. You can get this new book via the PlaidStallions Shop, On Amazon (Affiliate Link) or eBay (eBay Link)

Superhero AM Radios

What was your AM Radio as a kid? Mine was “Little Sprout” from the “Green Giant” commercials, I assume my mother won it.

It was pretty cool but my older sibling had an FM radio in her room, so i mainly just kept my door open so I could hear Black Sabbath.

Space:1999 Wrist Radio

Mantooth — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 04:00:00 +0000

There is something so satisfying about a low tech item being sold as something from the future. I’m sure the denizens of moon base Alpha kept the dial on 1050 for traffic and weather on the ones.

AM Radio Joy

Sadly the “Disguise the AM Radio as other things” is mostly a forgotten art. Also vanishing is the “Give kids things with the budwesier logo on them” agenda. Judging by how much Bud I drank in my teens, mission accomplished.

Sing along with GI Joe!

This G.I. Joe radio is completely bad ass but I’m confused as to what use the “Sing Along” feature would have to the bearded world adventure…
