Hanna Barbara Sticker Album from 1971 (eBay Affiliate Link) Oh man, as much as I watched the Flinstones every day at noon (CFTO Baby!), my heart will always belong to Birdman and the Galaxy Trio which actually show up in this thorough little book! Vampirella Door Poster (eBay Affiliate Link) – I have the […]
I recently found this sell sheet (that I believe is from 1970 for a line Remco unironically dubbed “Beaver Patrol.” It was before my time, but it’s so well-designed and charming. I’m going to assume that a lot of these toys employed recycled tooling. Remco may have been the leading “Label Slap” toy company […]

Vanity Fair Joker (eBay Link) – This is the infamous shooting range toy that basically has Batman murdering the Joker and Hoo Doggie; this thing is rare.

Space Ace Rack Toy (eBay Link) – I remember waiting in a long line to play “Dragon’s Lair” at an arcade at the CNE one summer. I put in a dollar(!) and died immediately. So I’ve never played Space Ace. Obviously, these games were the future, but this system was problematic for me at least. […]
