With all the nonsensical toys running about like Hulk Utility belts, it’s nice to see logical roll play items like this Emergency set. Although I doubt the guys from Rampart wore pictures of themselves on their helmets. That’s a weird thing that would always bother me as a kid…..
Spring Supplement Catalogs usually include things that didn’t make it into the February Toyfair in a bid to make it out in time for the Christmas season. The 1978 Kenner Catalog is a prime example featuring some classic goodies and a few that just didn’t make it under anybody’s tree that year.Bionic Woman, Play Doh, […]
This disco playset probably looked a whole heck of a lot more innocent back in the day, now the guy figure looks a lot like Eric Roberts in “Star 80”. I cut it off but you can see his “Mid life crisis mobile” which was sold separately.Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.
Janex is probably best known for their Batman and Robin talking alarm clock which was a big hit. Their Superman clock is lesser known and no wonder, while Batman and Robin started your day with their snappy ” Hey Chum and Holy This!” banter, Superman seemed to just nag you. I mean “Better get up […]
By the late 1970’s, Remco was making a heroic amount of comic book merchandising including logical items like the CSF BatCopter and inflatable Hulk muscles to the truly head scratching stuff like the Hulk Helicopter and Spider-Man pistols. Check out the 1979 Remco Catalog.
I can still remember the first commercial I saw for Underoos, during the Plastic Man cartoon, your underwear could make you Superman, Darth Vader and even the Dukes of Hazzard! I was sold but never saw them in stores growing up (My mum was a “Marks and Sparks” shopper).As an adult a friend gave me […]
Mike Power had a big impact on me as a kid, he beat the Six Million Dollar Man to market by a few months and he was a pretty big deal on the play ground. He was of course, pretty much forgotten once Steve Austin lumbered onto toy shelves.The Sea Wolf Submarine, also seen on […]
Kenner’s Steve and Bob Scout line was an answer to other “Razor and razor blades” adventure lines like Big Jim and G.I. Joe but with a sharp focus on being wholesome. Steve and Bob were 9″ Mego like figures that had well made outfits and accesories. Visit the Plaid Stallions Steve Scout Gallery for more […]
These “lovey dovey” dress alike photos always look ackward and somewhat stilted, apparently personal space hadn’t been invented in 1979.
My Pal Jesus sent me an email full of pics of incredible 300 figure plus G.I. Joe collection and mentioned to me that it’s for sale. He has Joes from all over the world, Italy, Canada, Spain and most of all, Mexican Lili Ledy Joes which are different from US versions. I’ve had dozens of […]
