Peter Pogo: The Spectacular Spider Stick
Spider-Man never refused a licensing deal in his life…
Let the hate flow through you
It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now mine.
Crazy Cool Toy Websites
Thought I’d use Sunday to share some new links, be prepared to waste an afternoon on these because they’re a lot of fun. First up is the newly launced FPLP Word, which stands for Fisher Price Little People, a line of toys that I am particularly fond of.Scott, the site’s webmaster really knows his little […]
Kenner Empire Strikes Back Toy Catalog
While it could be said that Kenner was caught with it’s pants down when meeting demand for toys based on Star Wars in 1977, nobody would call them slouchs when it came to the sequel, the Emprie Strikes Back. They were more than prepared to meet the demand they created by offering mysterious new characters […]
Cylon Swag
I thought I’d seen everything BSG related but I honestly have never seen that Calculator before. The radio is one of the more “on model” cylon pieces I’ve ever seen, a lot of this stuff just didn’t really look right.
Remco McDonaldland Characters
This 1976 Toy Trade ad for Remco’s McDonaldland characters seems a little odd to me. While I was fond of the McDonald’s commercials and had many birthdays at my local franchise, I clearly remember not understanding why there were action figures. Well made action figures at that. However, some folks on the forums have told […]
Space:1999 Day!
Seeing as today is the ten year anniversary of the supposed date that the moon blew out of orbit in Gerry Anderson’s 1975 television series “Space:1999” I thought it would be fun to look at some of the cool merchandise that came out during it’s two year run. Above is the trading card I made […]
G.I. Joe Action Team Catalog
G.I. Joe in Europe experienced a massive change in 1975, when the ladies came over! That’s right, German adventurers Hard Rock, Tom Stom and John Steel were now joined by Super Peggy and Super Sandy. There was no kitchen playset in the action team, these women were full fledged adventurers! Other surprises this year included […]
Scenes from Toyfair 1976
If there is a toy company that I would like to have a catalog from, it’d be Shindana, they made some neat-o toys in the mid seventies and their president had the world’s greatest sideburns. A shot of the 1976 Azrak Hamway booth shows the two different sizes of Mr. Spock Bop Bags. It’s funny […]
Bee Gees Fever —Catch It!
I remember the Bee Gees were popular but wow, I don’t remember this much (or frankly any) merchandise out there as a kid. Then again, I doubt I ventured from the Star Wars aisle at all past 1978.
