I’ve postulated on the oddness of Kojak toys to the point where I’m tired of it. I will say that this set by Harmony is one of the more logical sets, except for the whistle, but I’ll forgive that because the mental image of Telly Savalas running after a perp with a whistle in his […]
Life is strange, if you had asked me 30 days ago if there was going to be a Lincoln Monster update in the Halloween blog posts this year, I’d have answered no. Truth was, there wasn’t much by the way of things to update. Then all hell broke loose and I’ve got more than I […]
Really happy to be unveiling this today as it’s something I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks. What you’re looking at is the intro to the Monster chapter of my Rack Toys book. This was painted by the mad genius Matt “MonsterMatt” Patterson. I met Matt at one of my favourite summer time haunts, […]

Vintage Toy Store Shots thirteen features images from a former Mattel employee, who seemed to in charge of taking shots of retail displays and […]
Recently at a toy show I found this fun tube, the dealer said to me “I’ve never seen one of those before, apparently it’s a Canada only thing” Seeing as he didn’t want very much for it, I picked it up and have since, not been able to find much information on it. It is […]
Just in case you forgot, the bicentennial happen during our lifetime (well I’m assuming you were alive in ’76) and there was no end of merchandise like this multiple toy makers Paul Revere play set.
