Space:1976 The Future Was Fantastic!
One of the reasons I began collecting toys was my love for Space:1999 merchandise, so these Mattel Space:1999 toy offerings from 1976 are something I’m really hyped about bringing to the site.
Now, Fight Like Apes!
Apes + Army Men = BlissI’d have played with this for an entire summer as a kid.
Vintage Toys I saw at Wizard World
I should almost call this post “stuff that tempted me” as I posted at the Megomuseum Blog, I attended Wizard World this weekend in Chicago and was blown away by the amount of vintage toys available. I’m tired, so let’s just go through my photo’s and I’ll get back to catalogs tomorrow, I promise. Above […]
FIsher Price Toy Love
It’s not often I give myself flashbacks but that’s what happened with this 1977 Fisher Price Toy Catalog., Starting with crib toys and moving to the point where you traded in your little people for adventure people, you might find something you had on every page.
Viewmaster Gift Sets
My dad used to sell Viewmasters, so I’ve always kind of dug them. My kids can watch anything they want whenever they want, so I guess viewmasters won’t be the big deal they were for me. If you look at some of them today, the amount of care that went into them is pretty noticeable.These […]
Space Warriors
I love knockoffs, these “Alien Warriors” and “Fighters from Afar” from Tomland (which was part of Marx) went by a lot of names. “Star Raiders”, “Creatures from Other Worlds”, “Famous Monsters of Legend”, the Wards catalog gave them the “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” name of “Kantina Kooks”!Note how much “Flash” (bottom middle) resembles a certain […]

This is a subject I will admit to being obsessed with so if you have photos like these and want to share please drop us a line, […]
Why I love Catalogs
For me, my enjoyment of catalogs boils down to images such as this G.I. Joe page and a single moment in time. When I was two years of age, I caught croup something bad and had to be left in the hospital. I was panicked and inconsolable, my mother remembered having an Eaton’s catalog on […]
Fisher Price Impulse Buys
Well this was inevitible, after a family trip to an antique mall I officially began collecting Fisher Price Adventure people. Although I resisted the urge for years, I blame this site and blog as the reason I did this. The Adventure People were some amazing toys though, I spent many happy hours playing with this […]
Best Star Wars Ad Ever
So I was reading a Man From Atlantis comic to my son ( how this kid is popular with a dad like me I’ll never know ) and we came to this ad. This one really took me back to a time when Star Wars was all shiny and new, ads like this served as […]
