Vintage Toy Store Pictures Part Nine

World of toys

Another wonderful installment of Vintage Toy Store pictures is upon us, next to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery this is most likely my favourite section of the site. Above we have two unnamed gentlemen infront a wonderful display of Corgi diecasts, they seem be fighting for the Corgi Bat Bike, I don't blame them.

If you're digging this page, please visit our Index of Previous Vintage Toy Store Galleries for much more.

As always if you have pictures of any vintage toy stores you'd like to share, please drop me a line and I'll send you a 70's prize pack for your time

Heroes World store in 1982

Heroes World Founder Ivan Snyder stands in the plush aisle of one his flagship stores, behind his lovely wife's head you can see a display of AHI Batmobiles.

Marx Green Machines

That is one unique way to display trikes but my eyes are on the full display of boxed Marx Green Machines behind it, mouth watering. ..

Action man store display

This shot is crazy cool, a whole rack of AHI Rack toys including Spiderman parachutists and planes, what's in the middle? Carded Zee Toys Metal Men that's what. As a child this kind of a display would mesmerize me for hours.

bionic tattoos

This unnamed store shot from the mid seventies shows a display of matchbox type cars but lurking to the side are Bionic Man Tattoos and outfits for the Police Woman line of dolls, seeing as this was taken in 1978 I assume this was the clearance aisle..

Top Toys Store in the UK

Speaking of Bionic Men, we close with this fun shot of a Kenner Six Million Dollar Man store display, I vaguely remember seeing this back in the day...
