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 [...]
Spider-man, Iron Man, and the Transformers. Highly unusual to find a toy item that is based on 3 different movies. A nice set produced by Hasbro in 2009.
Here’s a great MMMS (Merry Marvel Marching Society) vending machine display from 1966 featuring a rubber charm version of Thor. With Spider-man prominently displayed on the card, and the toy only being 10 cents these probably went pretty quick. I know that I have only seen this, and one other example that survives today, so [...]

If you were a child in the sixties, you definately remember these little rings. Sold for a dime in vending machines outside your local mom and pop stores, grocery stores, and drug stores. These rings were made by Vari-Vue who had developed a unique viewing process. Depending on the angle you were looking at the [...]
Classic mail away set of buttons from Marvel at the close of the sixties. Highly sought after today, and achieving high prices in auctions. Consider yourself lucky if you got these from Marvelmania back in the day. Definately all Jack Kirby artwork on all pins, and brings back great memories. Nuff Said!
One of the rarest major label albums to emerge from the British Progressive Rock underground, The Marvel World Of Icarus was a concept work based around the Marvel Comics stable of superheroes. It came out in 1972, but, according to legend, was immediately withdrawn due to a dispute. Although it had all the trappings of [...]
The first thing you think of when you find yourself on another planet in the middle of a war is finding the nearest pinball game. At least that’s what the company Fleetwood seemed to think, so who are we to argue. Beware the savage war of 1984! Hey, wasn’t that a song? Also visit this [...]
Here’s a classic eighties Spider-man, and Hulk piece of merchandise. A reversible face clock, and it’s Secret Wars time anyway you look at it. If you get sick of Spidey’s mug, just flip it, and you get to stare at the ever lovin’ Hulk. Made by Tox in 1985. Also visit this site’s other blogging [...]
Not a pillow fight, but as the package claims “More fun than pillow fights” these inflatable gloves also show Iron Man on them. I would have thought that “the Thing” would have been a better spokesman for these “Super Klobbers” as he could better use his catch phrase “It’s Clobberin’ Time”. Ahi, however went with [...]
Remember the little flicker rings? Well, this baby is the size of a placemat, and features the Marx Marvel Superheros figures, and a Hulk Aurora model. Spider-man, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America appear in 3D just like the old Vari-vue vending rings. They took advantage of the toy sculpts, and painted them to make [...]
