Looking at this vintage licensing ad stirs some emotion in me. I mean seriously, why were we not treated to “Bigfoot and Wildboy” action figures? We live in a world where got toys of “The Waltons” but the “Space Sentinels” seemed too risky? Agggghhhh, I’d almost be filled with rage were it not for that […]
From down under comes this awesome shot of Ken, clutching an Astro Ape having a Mego Planet of the Apes adventure that includes a Big Jim Gorilla and Frankenstein(!) The joys of imagination and the “Megoverse”…. I miss having that kind of fun. If you’ve got shots of vintage toy love, send em on down!
Anyone who has read this blog knows how many of these kits I ruined with my lack of talent/patience as a kid. I think that bridge got reissued in the early nineties and I still messed it up! These days, I just love them from afar… Visit the 1975 AMT models Catalog
At one point, this item was my white whale. I never have actually owned one. It’s a pretty rare higher dollar item from AHI, much of their Space:1999 offering could be had with an allowance.
John, a frequent contributor of awesome things sent in this fabulous vintage shot of him holding two movie heavyweights, namely a Mego King Kong and a Kenner Alien. Happy times! Look for more vintage goodness from John in the coming weeks, as well if you have some vintage toy love to share drop me a […]
Behold the Hurdy Gurdy machine for children. Speaking as a father, I can honestly say that other than a megaphone I can’t imagine a less neccesary toy for a child to have. Seriously, I would choose the “beercan helmet”, complete with two Pabsts over this thing.
Oddly, even though i named Brick Mantooth after Randy, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of Emergency! The show and the toys do have a ravenous following to this day however.
Steve sent in this awesome shot of vintage toy love, showcasing his “toy collection” so to speak. That’s a good group he’s got there, Mego Hulk, Bigfoot, Steve Austin, Pulsar (awesome team up) and what I think is a Mego Shazam. To be honest, I really wish I had a similiar photo of my toys […]
Meccanno Action Man 1982 Palitoy Action Man wasn’t just marketed to children in the UK it also spread to countries such as France, where Miro-Meccano brought the fuzzy haired, eagle eyed soldiers to market. In addition to 12″ figures, Meccano also brought in the popular 3 3/4″ Action Force line that was very popular at […]
I would have gone ape**** for this in 1975.
