Orr...Bobby Orr

I recall having the Regal Bobby Orr doll as a kid, mostly because one of his skates remained in my curbside until about 1980 as a constant reminder. Me not being much of a Hockey fan, never really knew what to do with him and probably just made him a member of the Adventure Team.

I always find it funny how Toy Companies market sports figures in the 1970s, Orr should be aimed at boys but instead he comes with regular fashions like a Ken doll, same thing happened with Joe Namath and later Wayne Gretzky.

Dawn of the Super Jocks

Schaper Toys had a real hit in their hands in 1975 when they released "Super Toe Football" the first of their "Super Jocks" line of toys. So by 1978, it should come as no surprise that they had expanded into other events such as Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey.

Alex Karras, fresh from "Blazing Saddles" is brought in to hawk Super Toe in 1975.
