Plush Superheroes from Knickerbocker
I see these guys at every single toy show I attend, so they must have sold well. The Superman always looks like he has bed head. More Retro Toyfair coverage all day.
Velcro Superheroes
I’ve been tempted by the Superman Velcro puppet on more than one occasion. More 1979 Toy Fair Coverage all day
Giant Colouring Fun from Parkes Run
Hey, I had the Spider-Man one where he fought the astronaut Werewolf guy. It took forever to finish a page, maybe that was the point.
GAF in view with Superman & The Muppets
Superman was heavily merchandised this year. Remember when every kid you knew had viewmasters?
Great Hera! Look at those Box Cars!
The mid to late seventies saw what would become a regular event in our lifetime, an explosion on superhero merchandising. Some of it cool and logical like the Mego Superheros and some of it well, just plain strange. Take for example the 1977 Tyco Superhero boxcars, an odd marriage of Comic Books and the Rail […]
Colouring Book Theatre: Superman in Luthor’s Lost Land
Well, I finally found the often promised, never delivered Superman book so I figured I’d push other stuff out of the way and get to it before I lose it again.This book is marked 1975 but I remember getting it much after the Christopher Reeve movie debuted, I vividly recall colouring in it while watching […]
Star Aliens Meet Superman
More Rack Toys today, I’m really digging these die cast Star Aliens figures by Larami. They seem to be rocking that whole Shogun Warriors/Micronauts vibe. My pal MegoSteve sent me a picture of his wicked cool AHI Parachuting Superman figure and a Knock Off (which probably also produced by AHI) Big Fun: Jon has created […]
Superman Talking Alarm Clock
Janex is probably best known for their Batman and Robin talking alarm clock which was a big hit. Their Superman clock is lesser known and no wonder, while Batman and Robin started your day with their snappy ” Hey Chum and Holy This!” banter, Superman seemed to just nag you. I mean “Better get up […]
Superman VS Godzilla
Red Kryptonite has turned Superman into a blob of corn syrup! How will he defeat Godzilla now?I love the lower pic of Elastic Superman hugging Godzilla’s leg, that’s how my daughter fights me. I used to have a couple of these Supermen, one burst and I found a mouse trapped in the corn syrup. Needless […]
Rug Hooking Rocked!
Thanks to Mr Hurst’s 3rd grade art class, I got into making latch rugs as a kid. For about ten minutes, somewhere in a landfill is a half done Superman logo (inspired by the movie) that I just bored with once nice weather arrived. I did finish a snoopy skating on a field of green […]
