I don’t collect it now but man the Big Jim Camper pictured on this page just rocked my world back in ’74. I remember drooling over that boat and buggy set. Early Big Jim is just so representative of the early 70s, you can’t get more peaceful than a guy who goes fishing. I still […]
It’s amazing how our perceptions of computers have changed in one generation, although this is still what I think of when I hear the word “computer” my kids would likely think it’s a dishwasher. Another toy to add to my ever growing wantlist.
Another toy line that I never knew existed, Kenner’s Butch and Sundance (based on the 1979 prequel) line made a real quiet debut but the amount of effort into them have made them a cult favourite with collectors. The Saloon playset is a recycled Star Wars Creature Cantina and the figure’s body style would later […]
I rarely discuss new toys but this one really caught my eye. It seems a company has released Spiderman and Wolverine Parachute figures that harken back to the days of AHI (more on them very soon), this sucker works pretty well on the front lawn, although I need to work on my throwing technique.

Innocent purple jumpsuit or blatent attempt to steal the look of the Mego Dinah Mite doll? You be the judge. I’m really worried about how turned on I am….
I’m not a 100% on the origins of these images but reader Brendan sent them to me last month, it’s Lee in all his SMDM glory days along with I’m assuming his agent at a Toy Store appearance. I wonder if Farrah was waiting in the car?
I need this toy and I need it now, I watched Good Times religiously. This would be just the thing to annoy the hell out of my wife on long car rides.
