Jack Lord’s Hawaii 5-0 Outfit (eBay Link) – I struggle with words here, I mean, it’s….complete with ascot! What more do you need? Buy this and expect nothing but good things to happen to you. I bet it smells like cologne and cigarettes… Thriller Graveyard Gang (eBay Link) – I adore this 1980s KO […]
Remco Wonder Woman Utility Belt (eBay Link) – I’m an ardent fan of the Remco Utility belt and breaker of at least two. While the quality varied from character to character, this Wonder Woman set was particularly great; every girl on my street had one. Remco Star Trek Astro-Train (eBay Link) — Speaking of Remco, […]
Loving this UK advertisement for Our Way Studios Jointed Giants Super Heroes. I wanted these really bad as a kid, heck I’d still love to get the Planet of the Apes Galen. They weren’t terribly expensive either, I just never saw them as a kid other than Heroes World advertisements. A while back we posted […]

I spent last evening loading up all the images for Mego’s grand launch back to Target stores (You can see it all at the MegoMuseum), even got a call from Mego’s president last night. So I’m suer nostalgic, grateful and entirely validated right now, also tired. Anyway, Mego is what brought me on this grand […]
Here are a few random pages from the 1980 Pedigree Toys catalog from the UK, being 9 at the time I can honestly say I WANTED ALL OF THIS! I had a special love for the Remco utility belts. Please add a long life obsession with the Remco Batcopter to my life long list. OK, I […]
This weekend marks the annual Mego Meet convention in Skokie, IL. I’ll be heading there to help out at the door, see old friends and spend money on things I probably don’t need. If you’re in the area, it’s a terrific show and we’d love to have you. If not, I’ll be posting live pics […]
My mom bought me a Sesame Street rain slicker this year (1978), I remember being a little embarrassed wearing it as many of my peers were wearing KISS shirts at this point. I honestly would have loved the Six Million Dollar Man or Star Trek ones pictured here.
