This is the Hasbro booth for 1975, that’s the suer awesome G.I Joe Skyhawk zooming over these gentleman’s heads. From left to right they are Jim Camilleri, Jack Kipperman and Merril Hassenfeld, the man who put the H in Hasbro. Neat! 1976 Hasbro G.I. Joe Catalog B. Goldberg and J. Romain are off the see […]
Schaper Toys had a real hit in their hands in 1975 when they released “Super Toe Football” the first of their “Super Jocks” line of toys. So by 1978, it should come as no surprise that they had expanded into other events such as Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey. The President of Schaper introduces Super […]
I kind of went “primal geek” this past weekend when I took my kids to Burger King. The current Star Trek (well deserved) movie hype and promotion harkens back to when I was a lad and McDonalds ran their Star Trek Happy Meals. Somehow I conned my Mum into going more than once during that […]
In 1976, Hasbro decided to change the game for it’s G.I. Joe line, hoping to improve sales. So not only did Joe get a Superheroic sidekick in Bulletman but he also got his first bonafied enemy. Before then, Joe always seemed to fight a faceless foe or an angry animal. I guess you could count […]
It’s raining here, all yard sales and outdoor fairs are cancelled and I’m feeling like just staying in and watching movies. So here is a movie for everybody, this is a 1979 commercial for Kenner’s Disco Darci line, something I don’t remember but love the fact that it’s Disco.More Video:
With the J.J. Abram’s helmed film poised to be a block buster, I thought it only fitting to do a top ten list of some of the better 23rd century items we got in the 1970s. Many might seem crude by todays standards but most have never been topped in the fun department.The 1970s were […]
I never had the Kenner Trouble Patrol but I sure remember the Comic Book ads for this, a rogue motor cycle cop who crashes through the bank and mows down the culprits. I don’t think you’d get away with this anymore. I also love that one of the robbers is wearing “Crook” on his shirt, […]
I get a lot of people asking on the message board who made this set, it’s by Multiple Toys and they made several variations, one including a bunch of army men so you can reenact “Battle for the Planet of the Apes”, it goes a little crazy with the scale but I doubt any kid […]
The Metal Men by Zee Toys were by far one of the neatest non-TV advertised toy lines around. Made entirely of die cast metal, these sleek futuristic series of robotic action figures left the back story completely to your imagination.Check out the 1979 Metal Men CatalogAs an added bonus, we have the amazing Metal men […]
Daisy has been the premier maker of toy caps guns since well long before I can remember and in this 1981 catalog they did something I am too excited about, they created Sheriff Lobo merchandise! It’s almost impossible to find BJ and The Bear Toys let alone anything based on it’s short lived spin off, […]
