A few more variations added to the Azrak Hamway Monster Toy Galleries, cataloging these seems to be kind of endless, which I kind of liks.Above is another one of these end of the line cupped hand versions, this time it’s of Frankenstein. I think it’s funny these versions come wearing cleats, I guess Franky just […]
Multiple Toys doesn’t immediately spring to mind when you think of childhood favourites but they certainly should seeing as they did create an incredible amount of childhood staples like plastic dinosaurs and green plastic army men.Add to that Multiples hot licenses like Planet of the Apes, M*A*S*H, Kung Fu and the DC Comics superheroes and […]
File this toy line under “Can’t remember the name” Marx’s Ready Gang line didn’t get a lot of recognition and kind of got swept away with all the Western Action figures released in the 1970s. It’s hard to imagine but at one point almost every major toy company had a series of Cowboy action figures […]
I got a new member to my expanding “toy family” a few weeks back and I couldn’t be happier. This is the HG toys Godzilla figure from their awesome “Godzilla Vs the Tricephalon” playset released in 1979. I saw it in the back of Famous Monsters magazine as a kid and knew one day I […]
In the early 1980s, a gentle, gold chained covered giant came into our households and told us to read the bible and drink our milk and in doing so, captured our hearts. Mr. T was exactly what Reagan era America was looking for, a straight laced tough guy whose look hinted at rebellion. The ensuing […]
I forgot to add this to “Toy Questions” segment I did a month back, this is easily in my top ten of solvable toy mysteries for people. Matchbox MAC were really unique, compact and perfect to me as a six year old but even when I was buying them, I had absolutely no idea what […]
I get a lot of confused emails about the Empire Toys brand of Helicopter, for those not in the know Empire made licensed helicopters and vans for properties like CHiPs and Spiderman. It was all kind “wink, wink put your Mego dolls in here” or in the case of the Six Million Dollar man, they […]
I don’t do enough girl’s toys features and that’s a mistake cause I’ve got a great female readership and well, there’s some really funky cool stuff out there. Take for example Kenner Sea Wees, a bath centered toy line featured little mermaids who of course had long hair you could style (the play value of […]
I guess because of my duties over at the MegoMuseum, I never really think to mention Mego’s awesome Micronauts Toy line and for that I am sorry. Like a lot of 70s children I was totally blown away by this line, one part action figure, another part lego it was the stuff of dreams. My […]
Seeing this awesome (and now pretty darn rare) stuff marked down gives me the chills. When I was about ten or eleven, my mom took me to “Consumer’s Distributing” a catalog showroom store. I wandered around and found a book marked “Clearance items” in it was pages from their 70s catalog including spreads of Big […]
