New to the web today is the 1976 Maskatron commercial from Kenner. Every child should know the joy of owning a robot doll that becomes John Saxon. That’s not sarcasm, I really mean it! These are scans from the 1976 Kenner catalog, click on the link for more. Expect more Bionic Man and Woman stuff […]
The Mighty and Men and Monster Maker was simply one of the coolest Monster toys ever. I don’t know how many women I’ve known who wanted this but received it’s female companion, Fashion Plates. This happened to my wife, who simply mixed fashion plates people with her brother’s monster plates, genius. I got to play […]
I actually started out my Halloween coverage worried i didn’t have enough content, now thanks to some very generous folks, I have way too much. Above is another great French ad from Eric (Aka Baron Sat). These were the popular shows in France at the time, Fantastic Four and Goldorak (which many Franch Canadian kids […]

I love this monster version of the playdo fuzzy pumper barber shop even though it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Dig the perm on the skeleton.Charlie sent in these great pics of the Count Creepyhead playset, something I’ve never actually seen before.
I think it’s a pretty cool sign of the times that the apes aren’t supposed to be Cornelius and Zira but Caesar and Lisa, now that’s progress. What kid wanted to be Charlie Brown? I spent my life avoiding being him.
