The Garage of Tomorrow
I cannot wait for the future to begin, first thing I’m grabbing is a jet pack.
GI Joe’s cheaper wheels
During the 60s and 70s, Irwin Toy made some lower cost blow molded vehicles for lines like G.I. Joe and Action Jackson that were a lot of fun and quite collectible these days. The cool thing about these is Irwin actually went and licensed the GI Joe name for some of these, they were branded […]
Tomland Famous Monsters of Legend Archive Launches
It may seem odd to launch a Monster themed page in December but it’s Halloween all year round at my place and it’s rare these days that I get this excited, so it simply couldn’t wait. Tomland is probably best known for the Star Raiders, an 8″ Mego like line of action figures clearly meant […]
My First Car
This is probably the only Jaguar I’ll own in my life, given to me by grandfather. it was an item I treasured. That was until I was about ten or so when my best friend Neil and I rode it to oblivion on the giant hill we lived on. RIP Jaguar, I miss you…
Child World Toy Sale from 30 years ago
Seeing that it’s close to Christmas, let’s take a trip back 30 years and see what toys were on special with the 1981 Child World Flyer, celebrating the best playthings that 1981 had to offer. You’ll find a lot of familiar faces in this one including Star Wars figures, Mego Superheroes, Intellivision, Jordache dolls, Fisher […]
Mobile Suport Unit
As much as I adore all thing Mego, I have to admit that the GI Joe Mobile Support unit may indeed be the finest toy vehicle ever made. It honestly looks as if it’s from some Gerry Anderson TV show that never made it to air. I’ve owned this piece more than once, the hard reality […]
Ultra-Men and Monster Maker
Leave it to the Japanese to make a fun toy more “funner” (it’s a word), here we see what I can only imagine is the original version of we here in North America know as “The Mighty Men and Monster Maker” easily one of the coolest toys from my youth. In Japan however, their version […]
Popular Kenner Toys as seen on TV
I got an early Christmas present in my mailbox the other day in the form of these Kenner store display photos, which were likely meant as internal documents showcasing their hottest toys for 1978. As we all know that was a year of Bionic Men and Women, Stretch Armstrong and massive block buster known as […]
Marx Wrist Watches
That Neal Adams shot of Superman on the card art is some of my favourite pieces of the man of steel, that’s how I picture him.
Scream’n Demons
Another toy that I’m too young to remember (I was pretty busy staring at fuzzy wall paper for the majority of 1971) but Hasbro’s Scream’n Demons predate the Evel Knievel concept but marry it with the popularity of Biker culture at the time.
