Thanks to the generous donation of our blog readers I have some fantastic new images of 70's mall appearances by Superheroes, Jawas, Micronauts, Apes and even Lee Majors! This is a subject I will admit to being obsessed with so if you have photos like these and want to share please drop us a line, I'll send you a prize pack for your troubles!

Love the pics!
I wish I had some from a theme restaurant here in town called the Magic Time Machine. I haven't been there in years and I'm not sure they are still in business, but when I was a kid my sister worked there in college. Anyway the place was full of costumed characters (not licensed of course, try to get away with this nowadays) like Spider-man, Captain America, Superman, Pirates, Roman Soldiers, Princesses, Genies, you get the idea. The whole staff dressed up, it was pretty cool if you were a kid. I'll see what I can dig up.
I must repeat what I wrote on your Kotter post from January, here:
"I think I am in love with you now.
My husband's nervous.
I may need to steal from you from time to time; I have both "Don't Wear Wednesday" and "Bad Music Thursday" on my blog, and you are a gold mine to me."
sigh. You're dreamy.
i distinctly remember a mall visit from the Hulk, and instead of a guy in a costume, it was an inflatable Hulk, like 20 ft high!
does anybody else remember this or am i dreaming?
Acroyear from the Micronauts, Planet of the Apes! F***! nobody ever came to Oregon.
Thank you for the wonderful photos and the spectacular prize pack. It's very appreciated.
