The Ben Cooper name is synonymous to many of us with Halloween from their well known “Smock and Mask” Halloween outfits that had all the relevent licenses to their rubber masks and jigglers, Ben Cooper had almost a stranglehold on October 31st. Journey back to the 1980 Ben Cooper catalog for a an incredible variety […]
This has been a recent topic on the Megomuseum forums and I thought it would be perfect to discuss. A lot of people seemed to remember something about this and then enter Craig Crane with this amazing UK version of the program to this very surreal show. Craig also has a blog where he plans […]
These kits by Aurora, Addar and AMT pretty much sum up the early seventies for me, Superheroes, Planet of the Apes and Star Trek. I had a lot of these even though I really couldn’t build or paint them worth a damn. The Aurora Superhero kits became impromptu action figures when I didn’t have the […]
It seems like the Star Fleet cadet doesn’t approve of his comic fan companions. I guess “Spock” doesn’t recognize how cool that DC stock art is. If I’m not mistaken that’s Infantino and Adams.Past links: More Star Trek Pajamas
After doing a bit about the Superman Talking Alarm click it seemed fitting to discuss this one, probably the most memorable of all Janex talking clocks. I seem to remember TV commercials for this although I could be wrong. I wanted one as a kid but the more I go through old catalogues, the more […]
By the late 1970’s, Remco was making a heroic amount of comic book merchandising including logical items like the CSF BatCopter and inflatable Hulk muscles to the truly head scratching stuff like the Hulk Helicopter and Spider-Man pistols. Check out the 1979 Remco Catalog.
Two more additions to the Plaidstallions Mall Appearance Gallery today and they’re both pretty fantastic! Daniel Preston sent in this fantastic pic of Darth Vader at the Mac Dade Mall Woolco in PA, Vader choked that Imperial officer when his marker ran dry. Mark ( AKA Vulcanjedi ) sent in this wild Incredible Hulk Appearance […]
I can still remember the first commercial I saw for Underoos, during the Plastic Man cartoon, your underwear could make you Superman, Darth Vader and even the Dukes of Hazzard! I was sold but never saw them in stores growing up (My mum was a “Marks and Sparks” shopper).As an adult a friend gave me […]
I actually started out my Halloween coverage worried i didn’t have enough content, now thanks to some very generous folks, I have way too much. Above is another great French ad from Eric (Aka Baron Sat). These were the popular shows in France at the time, Fantastic Four and Goldorak (which many Franch Canadian kids […]
My pal Eric sent this amazing cool advertisement for costumes in France, this stuff is just killer. I guess Bionic Woman was called “Super Jamie” over there, I wonder if they’ll call the new series that?These Leia and C-3PO costumes are undeniably cool, the Leia looks exactly like the Kenner figure!Mighty Mightor was kind of […]
