OK, I’ll say it,…they just didn’t make these kind of things when I was little. Of course Marvel was in it’s infancy when I was 3 years old, and Marvel cartoons did not appear on T.V. until I was about 5. This offering from Hasbro is a 3-D pop up playset that folds out, and [...]
The 80s and glitter go together like bees and honey. Spider-man and things that “stick”…well,…thats a no brainer. Even Mephisto (pre-OMD), the Red Skull, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Doctor Doom, and Loki make an appearance. Check out the sticky eye candy below!
I personally grew up in the 1960s when the first action figures made by Hasbro were of the 12 inch class. Then came the Mego in the 70s, and they were downsized to 8 inches. Following that in the later 70s with the popularity of Star Wars, the toy manufacturer Kenner released the 3.75 inch [...]
Funstuf’s Spider-man Big City Target Set made in 1977 features Romita Sr., and Ross Andru art. The company Funstuf had the distinction of making the very first official dart shooting webshooters back in 1975. This set looks like an attempt to give the kids an upgrade, and let them take aim at the current Spidey [...]
The Spider-copter, Spider-buggy, and Spider-bike all in one set. Super hard to come by in this condition. These were usually sold seperately, but someone working for Corgit decided all 3 was the thing. Truly nice box graphics, and the front and back of this 1979 toy set. The Corgi toy company has been making diecast [...]
Spider-man, Green Goblin, Lizard, and the Rhino. I’ll let the commercial say it all. 1976 Spider-man Web Spinning Action Game made by Ideal. You remember Ideal, the one’s who in 1967 brought us the first Spider-man action figure in Captain Action. So without further ado, here is the spot, and the photo.
McDonald’s Happy Meal toys based on the new Spectacular Spider-man cartoon series had 3 commercial spots you might have missed on TV if you blinked. Check them out here!
Use your skill to hit the target, and send your super hero’s escape module soar free from the clutches of evil, or at least thats what it said on the box. The box itself has great graphics for a toy, and would entice any child into taking aim, and watching the little encapsulated heroes on [...]
I can fathom a guess that there was no one in product oversight the day this toy got shipped. The Spider-man and Hulk Battle of the Laser Lights game by LJN is clearly labeled as such, but if you look closely at the opponent figure on the box, it looks an awful lot like the [...]
Strange coincidence? I think not. Seems these 2 posters have Spidey’s pose in common, but the villians were swapped out. Sentinels just aren’t part of Spider-man’s common rogues gallery in the late 60s, so it looks as though John Romita Sr. was asked to redraw it for the Marvelmania set of posters. Besides he was [...]
“Diet of Destruction”: A metal-eating monster with a monstrous appetite goes on a feeding frenzy in New York! “The Witching Hour”: The Green Goblin uses J. Jonah Jameson as a medium to evoke evil spirits to do his bidding.
