Planet of the Apes Sliderama
If you guys buy me this for Christmas, I’ll have you all over for a screening. I’ll even make popcorn. True Story!
Buck Rogers Flying Model Rockets
I have never known the pleasure of flying model rockets but these Sci-Fi related kits really tempted me as a kid…
El Squadron Lobo Big Jim Gallery Updated
It’s been ten years since I updated my little tribute page to the Kid Acero line of toys and it was long overdue. Known to us as Big Jim, Mexican toy maker Cipsa infused the line with a heavy dose of creativity. The result is a Big Jim’s wolfpack with a rich science fiction flavour. […]
View-Master Store Displays
I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these but there are a lot of old friends in there. Mall of Justice wants your photos and stories click here!
Electronic Bowling

Japanese versions of US toys
I thought it may be fun to look at a few (but not all) examples of how some American favourites looked like over in Japan, the land of amazing toys and cartoons. We’ll start with the Mickey Mouse Snowcone machine, a take on the Snoopy Sno-Cone machine. This one confuses me because SNOOPY IS REALLY […]
Big Jim Motorcross Honda

Toyco Alien Attack
Today’s update is the answer to one of those riddles that plagued for years. The play set you see above has been something I’ve been trying to track down for well over 20 years and it’s a wealth of toy history (and re-used molds) inside, more after the jump. Despite the Woolco price tag on […]
The Man of Steel becomes the man of gold
I couldn’t get over the sincerity of this licensing advertisement for Superman from 1983. which states that Superman 3 will “Make box office history for the third time in a row” and “we’re expecting the strongest sales ever“. I remember seeing Superman 3 with my best friend, we were both 12 and I remember being […]
