I found this great ad for Ideal ElectroMan in the back of a give away comic (more on that later) and thought it would be fun to showcase here. I find Electroman a pretty dorky looking figure, his whole concept is like ROM mixed with a really primitive version of laser tag. That headpiece would […]
Jason sent in these awesome additions to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery. This was at the B Dalton’s in the Maplewood Mall, in St. Paul, MN, November of 1977. This is pretty early for a Star Wars appearance. I love the Sign in the background and look at the crowd! Jason proudly displays his signed […]
Finally a bop bag that makes sense, I never understood trying to punch out the Hulk or Mr. Spock (what the hell did he ever do to anybody?) but I totally get wanting to hit a Jawa. They seems to be kind of annoying in the Star Wars universe, they dicker, sell shoddy merchandise, have […]
When it comes to Star Wars rip off figures, there is no more blatant than the wonderful Tomland’s Starroid Raiders. These guys usually sold for a buck (far less than a SW figure) and had GREAT names, from left to right we have Zang, Tango, Wahh, Zbu, Aton and Dado. Like a lot of their […]

I am overwhelmed by the amount of feedback I got so I’ll be showcasing these for the next couple of weekends. Above is an entry from Nate, where he is playing with his getting his corn syrup on with […]
Chuck sent in this picture of him and brother Chris with R2D2 in front a wonderful Star Wars painting. This was at aHyVee grocery store around 79-80. Chuckremembers Chewie and Vader also being at this store (he would not go near Vader andcried because he was a bad guy) and promises more shots in the […]
Today’s colouring book was supposed to be Superman but I misplaced that (I tend to do that) so we’ll go with a book based on a little known movie called Star Wars.This book is by Kenner, being the master toy licensor, they left no stone unturned. The book itself is rather bland, there is no […]
Found this today and thought I’d share, me in my Ben Cooper Yoda costume circa 1980. Like a lot of kids then, I was pretty smitten with the character at the time, not so much anymore mind you. I decided to go for realism with the costume by adding the greenest sweater I owned, some […]
