Click here for a larger view. It’s been a grinder of a week here, so today’s Friday feature is this incredible toy sale at Alexanders, where they appear to be just giving away Shogun Warriors. I could cry…. Check out the awesome Toynami Shogun Warriors Godzilla coming this July
In my neighbourhood growing up, there wasn’t a girl I knew who didn’t have that Wonder Woman set. Lynda Carter’s influence ran deep… . .
Yesterday’s loss of Leonard Nimoy felt strangely personal to me, perhaps because as someone smarter than me said “It feels like we lost a friend”. Nimoy’s portrayal of Mr Spock has always been a topic of conversation here at PlaidStallions, especially all the wonderful Star Trek merchandise that we 70s kids got. Toy makers such […]
I stumbled on this great toy fair ad for Crystar today and it reminded me of the first time I saw the line in a Liesure World as a kid (a store that rarely carried action figures BTW). Remco and Marvel teamed up on this and it seemed like it would have been a big […]
I found this cool little ad for AHI in a toy publication, it’s kind of fun to see something like this with original artwork and not a single DC comics style guide image to be found. More AHI links at PlaidStallions.
By 1984, all of the toy lines Remco had called staples in the 1970s like utility belts and helicopters were long gone as the company dove head first into the crowded marketplace of 1980s Action Figures Batman and Superman had been replaced by less known DC characters like Warlord and Sgt Rock, the company experimented […]

Any reader of this blog can ascertain two things a) I like monsters and b) I’m fond of 3 3/4″ action figures. So it shouldn’t come as a big shock that when Funko made it’s announcement they were going to conquer the world with Kenner style figures, I was pretty excited. I’ll admit the majority […]
It never phased me that Spider-Man never seemed to have bus fare in the comics or TV but an amazing fleet of vehicles on the toy shelves. I didn’t question toy makers logic as a kid, that’s the kind of sass that could get you on the naughty list…. .
I think the most interesting thing about Remco’s I Dream of Jeannie line isn’t that it was probably a good idea, it was that it was released years after both the original and animated series were long gone from the air waves. Jeannie’s sales were largely due to the power of syndication just like Mego […]
