The Superheroes fool around on the beach

If you’re a little bummed today about missing Comic Con, just remember those people are all in a hot sweaty crowd and none of them are going to see a picture of the Flash Waterskiing today. This picture is the start of a new series thanks to the donations from my new bestest pal Steve […]

The Justice League at Sea World

Erick from Wonderful Wonderblog made my week with this fabulous shot of the Superheroes at Sea World, seeing the heroes like that must have been just trippy. For more on this check out our gallery. And if you have anything to add, I’d be your friend for life.

The Joker at Sea World Part 2

This is without a doubt my favourite picture from JD, the Joker and the Riddler getting harrassed by the dynamic duo, not only do you get a view of the Sea World stage but the Bat Boat as well! The more I see of this show, the more I realise that I really missed out […]

Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes Part 2

Continuing our series of flashbacks thanks to my friend Lou’s vintage negatives we have a shot of what is the Bugs Bunny portion of the show (click on it for a larger look), a whole stage full of Looney Toons characters. It looks odd now but must have been something to see then.Next week, we […]

The Most Logical Superhero Toys Ever

This Aquaman Sled from the 1974 HG Toys catalog is something you just don’t see anymore, a product that actually suits the Superhero. Nowadays if somebody got the DC comics license for pool toys, it’d feature Batman or Spider-Man but here the sea king gets his due. But wait, there’s more…. Wonder Woman Magic Lasso […]

Fleetwood Toys for 1980

This week’s catalog is from Fleetwood Toys, a Rack Toy manufacturer that focused entirely it seems on the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. in 1980, Fleetwood was concentrating on late seventies icons such as CHiPs, Buck Rogers and Vega$ but not forgetting such evergreen properties such as the Marvel Comics Superheroes and Mighty […]

Save on Model Kits

Aurora Comic Scene Models are a really happy part of my childhood seeing as my Dad sold them for a while and as a result, I had a good supply. I sucked at model building (still kinda do) and used them more as action figures, which I think a lot kids did. The Apes kits […]

Sit on the Superfriends

I never run into vintage Bean bag chairs at antique malls or toy shows, they must have just been thrown out most of the time. I’m digging this Superfriends one the most. You almost get the whole Justice League in there including Batgirl, who was an odd choice. She also ended up on the Superfriends […]

One for the Boomers, Captain Action

In digging around I found this cool homegrown ad for Ideal’s Captain Action line and while it’s not really the focus here it was kind of cool so I wanted to share. I, being of the Mego Superheroes era don’t have any childhood memories of the Captain but his place in action figure history is […]
