1969 Toys R Us Toy Circular
Here’s another wonderful Toy Newspaper Circular from the good people at Toys R Us, this time it’s from this weekend 41 years ago (ok I timed that part). It’s a cool trip back to the toys of yester year and while some things have changed, others really haven’t all that much. Lots of memorable classics […]
Spider-Man will be here on……..
I got a wonderful surprise in the electronic mail box this week with this contribution from Lynch (who showcases his incredible Marvel Comics merchandise collection on his MyEbay page trust me, you need to visit that) it’s a rare poster used for 1970s appearances by webhead himself. What’s even better is the demonstration picture that came […]
Spider-Man at Toys By Rizzi
Here’s a cool shot from 1979 featuring the webbed wall crawler at the opening of a “Toys By Rizzi” store in Downers Grove, IL. Spider-Man was joined by Bigfoot (not sure if he was the bionic one) but sadly there are no photos of him. If you look closely you can see a whole aisle […]

Even More Vintage Toy Store Pictures
I’m always happy when I have enough of these images to fill another page. In our sixth installment we visit several toy stores on Halloween (kind of fitting). See a store visit by a giant MonChichi in 1983 and check out the many images from the video game explosion of the early eighties chockfull of […]
Super Sale
This ad for Towers (A Canadian chain of department stores) from December 15, 1980 has some pretty swell deals going for it. Highlights include Mego 12″ Superheroes for $4.95 each, Remco Utility Belts for $3.22 and the Hoth Ice Planet set for $10.50. This didn’t help me much as a kid, we lived far away […]
Girl Meets Cylon Centurian
“I suggest you buy that high quality Mattel toy little girl”I’m not sure to put this in the Super Hero Mall Appearance Gallery or Vintage Toy Stores Page because it’s a bit of both. If you look in the store you can see a display of Shogun Warriors and on the wall a display of […]
Return of the Vintage Toy Store Pictures
This has to be one of my favourite obsessions, finding pictures of toy stores and aisles past. So I’m really pleased to be coming out with Vintage Toy Stores Part Five with a collection of images that feature classic toys of the seventies including Mego Superheroes, Adventure Team G.I. Joes, Aurora Monster Models, View Masters, […]
