Toy Love Archives - Page 60 of 102

In my quest to improve the site I actually updated two galleries so much that I thought it deserved it’s own Friday update, both relate to my personal obsession with cataloging 70s Monster Toys. Firstly, I’ve finally expanded the Azrak Hamway Monsters section of the site and given everything galleries including other stuff like the Jigglers, windups, […]

The man of steel is incredibly lazy

I picked up this weird variation of the AHI Superman parachute figure from Italy, I guess they originally came bagged but for some reason these weird cards were also used, seems like false advertising as I wouldn’t know where to put my lips on this thing.

During these years, the EK […]
