This page of plush makes me smile, I was to old for such things when the catalogue came out but these were all childhood friends. I never wanted the Ronald McDonald doll, but that pocket Grimace was sooo tempting.

The post Muppets, Snoopy and McDonalds! 1980 Shoprite Catalog appeared first on PS.

McDonalds Hawaiian Shirt (affiliate link) —

Once in a lifetime, a garment passes you by that is so glorious that everything else looks like burlap. I’ve had this moment, and fashion is now meaningless to me.  I will never know the joy of having a Big Mac on my heart as this is not my size.

Action Girl Scuba Outfit (affiliate link) —

You have to applaud Europe for adding female characters to the GI Joe Adventure team and giving them cool outfits. I was to shy to buy female characters as a kid and well, that’s a shame. I’ve changed my mind on the whole thing now.

Bootleg V Hat (affiliate link) —

I just want to buy everything with “V” on it; I feel like that will be the void left by not having enough V toys when it is hot.

Dick Tracy Flashlight (affiliate link) –

I post in a trifecta of love for Rack Toys, Dick Tracy and just general 70s weirdness. I want to own this so that at the next blackout, I can act all normal about using it. “What? I come prepared! Sorry?”

Japanese Superman Car model (affiliate Link) —

The one thing I love about Japanese model kits is that I’m always finding something new, and I hope that it never changes. I don’t know why Superman needs a car, but I so want to see this movie that the box is promising. It’s mid-century cool and I don’t care if it has a single word of dialogue. I want this Superman to beat up those Johnny Quest robots a whole bunch.

The post 1979 Beno’s Toy Catalog- Kenner Star Wars- Star Bird appeared first on PS.

1977 saw the introduction of Mickey Mouse to the fold and more Superhero related products which would eventually become the bread and butter of the company for the rest of the decade..

New this year was the Remco Disney Action Figures. The McDonalds characters were not the runaway sales hit that AHI expected them to be, according to sources they were a sales disappointment..

Utility belts were a big winner for Remco, this year’s assortment featured Space:1999, a big-budget science fiction series that hoped to rival Star Trek. Every year Remco released a Utility belt that made no sense, this year it was the Mickey Mouse, why am I disturbed at the sight of him in jeans?

The Batman Trik-Trak set harkened back to the 1960s Batman craze, Remco would continue to mine Superheroes for the next few years.
