I’ll admit it, that camper van tempted me…. Fun Girl’s Toys
Bionic Monday!
Christmas will forever remind me of the Bionic Man, mostly because he or his friends were a staple from 1975 to 1978. I didn’t get everything on this page but I had Steve, Oscar and Maskatron and I played with those three for years. I would feel remiss if I didn’t extend the Bionic Monday […]
Super Monsters paint kits
This Super Monsters set from Combex/Tomland pretty much nails everything that I like about Monster toys. The generic monsters combined with that all too awesome box artwork. While I’ve seen the boxed set surface (rarely) I’ve never seen the individual carded sets before. You never know with Tomland stuff though, they may surface.
Happiness is….Transistors
I fail to mention the Snoopy licensed juggernaut of the 1970s but man, he was everywhere. He was to the 1970s what Garfield was to the late 1980s.
1980 Funstuf Catalog
Naming a toy company “Funstuf” is a pretty bold statement, luckily the company more than lived up to it’s namesake during the 1970s and 80s. During the late 1970s, the company was best known for it’s “Aniforms’ line of figures which were a unique concept that involved a rubber figure and an air pump. Funstuff […]
1974 HG Toys Puzzle Catalog
HG Toys was one of the bigger producers of licensed products in the 1970s and this great puzzle catalog from 1974 proves this. Almost every popular television show or character from that time is present, including Evel Knievel, Star Trek, the Marvel Superheroes, Planet of the Apes, Happy Days and much more. Check out the […]
1974 Kenner Easy Bake Oven Catalog
Playing homemaker is still around but the 1970s were probably the last gasp of it being the norm. The 1980s saw a rise in little girls playing career woman, so things like the Easy Bake Oven became less prevelant. However, we’re looking at 1974 and it was all the rage to emulate “Betty Crocker” and […]
Hey Hey Hey
Behold the HG Toys Fat Albert “Fat Kite” (was the extra fat really needed here?) The site of a flying Fat Albert reminds me of something the great Joel Hodgson once said “Funnnnyy….. but impossible”
Fleetwood Toys for 1980
This week’s catalog is from Fleetwood Toys, a Rack Toy manufacturer that focused entirely it seems on the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. in 1980, Fleetwood was concentrating on late seventies icons such as CHiPs, Buck Rogers and Vega$ but not forgetting such evergreen properties such as the Marvel Comics Superheroes and Mighty […]
Mobile Action Command Challenge
Matchbox’s Mobile Action Command is one of those fun toys a lot of people had but have no idea what they were called. These guys had a real limited back story and I honestly don’t remember if they had any sort of TV advertising. I was surprised to find out as an adult they were […]
