Chills, Spills and lots of Thrills
The 1970s were truly a golden era for the stunt vehicle toy concept although I’m pretty sure this type of toy never truly goes out of style.
The first Spider-Man
Found this great photo in an old issue of FOOM (which I didn’t know I owned) from left to right that’s Stan Lee, Marie Severin, “Jazzy” John Romita and Roy Thomas wearing what has to be the first Spider-Man appearance suit ever. It’s Ditko influence is joyous. And Remember I’m still looking for your photos […]
Super Babies!
The Amsco Super Babies never warmed to me as a superhero loving kindergartener, I was well into Mego action figures by this point and Shazam’s inaccurate red hair bugged me even then. As an adult, I think they’re one of the most charming bits of 70s Superhero merch. I’m pleased top announce that things have almost […]
Mego 12 Inch Superheroes
As I prepare for this week’s Mego Meet Toy Show this weekend, I thought it would be cool to showcase this awesome catalog from the United Kingdom. Pedigree Toys began distributed the Mego Toy Lines in the late 1970s and did a knock out job with the 12″ Superheroes, more pages after the jump! I […]
Amsco Marvel World
The Amsco Marvel World Playset is one of the most wonderful pieces of Superhero merch from the 1970s. An expensive collectible now, I think the major reason for it’s appeal is it was comic accurate in an era when it has no business being so. Seriously, Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum?
Super Heroes by Croner
I found this catalog from Croner, an Australian toy distributor that carried alot of US items by companies like MPC and Azrak-Hamway International. Nothing that I haven’t seen before but it’s nice to end a week looking at stuff like this. That Captain America kite is particularly dreamy.
Spider-Man meets Kamen Rider V3
I’m packing up PlaidStallions HQ for an eventual move and this fluttered across my desk, it’s a Japanese post card for the Toei Spider-Man series and for some reason, they included Kamen Rider V3. I prize it dearly. I’ve had this card since highschool, it was gifted to me by fellow toy collector and friend […]
Bad News for Villains
Oh Corgi, you are a main ingredient in a happy childhood.
The Amazing Spider-Brush
I’m totally fascinated with little bits of weird super hero merchandise like this. Here we have the marriage of hair care and our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, whose mantra of putting his name on everything would put Garfield to shame. This is all the handiwork of the standard Pyroxoioid Corp. (sexy name!) This set solves […]
Spider-Man meets Zorro
This children’s Spider-Man costume from France is pretty killer and detailed, the ray gun is weird but I bet kids didn’t mind.
