Heroic Flash Lights
Superheroes and flash lights are a cocktail that Rack Toy manufacturers know how to make. Although I really don’t think the Duke Boys count as “Superheroes”…
Major Matt Mason 1971 Catalog
Mattel’s man in space “Major Matt Mason” had an successful run during the 1960s space race until about 1969 when man actually walked on the moon and didn’t find an alien civilization. While this did sound the death knell for space toys in general, Mattel marketed the Major until the 1970s and made new items […]
The Hot Foot Dragster
This makes a Green Machine look like an orange crate with roller skates strapped to it.
1979 Tomland Toys Catalog
Tomland Toys are kind of a mystery to many toy collectors, a member of the Marx family of companies, they were known for producing cheap but fun toys that sometimes kind of skirted copyright laws. They are perhaps most famous for their 1978 line of action figures called “Star Raiders” and it’s follow up […]
Only you can purchase my merchandise
I had no idea there were Smokey the Bear toys, probably because i lived several hours away from any Wards store. I wonder if Yogi would call Smokey a sell out?
1969 Toys R Us Toy Circular

It’s a cool trip back to the toys of yester year and while some things have changed, others really haven’t all that much. Lots of memorable classics […]
Flipside

Star Trek: The Table
Here’s something I recently found in a pile of papers in my basement, a brochure for a child’s table and chairs based on Star Trek and not just that, the Filmation animated Star Trek! If this exists, I simply must own it despite my lack of room and obvious impracticality, it must be mine. I’m […]
Toy Recycling
I love catalog extras such as these, this pile of accessories for G.I. Joe (or as the picture demonstrates his lower cost equivilant Fighting Yank) is actually left over parts from Marx’s “Mike Hazard” spy doll from the mid 1960s. The toy industry wisely never seems to throw anything away.
