The 1970s were clearly the high point for dolls based on TV detective shows.

My original name for these was "Groin Pointers" but I was outvoted, typical office politics...

Le Star War
While I'll freely admit that modern Brian is totally "Star Wars'd Out", whenever I see those original 12, I'm totally 7 years old again and I hope that never changes.
Happy Friday!

Spider-Man from France
I love exclusives like this 10" action figure that seems to have only been available in Japan and France.
For a more detailed look at this guy, check out this photo review we did a few years ago...

The Lone Ranger Rides Again
As much as the gorgeous Gabriel Lone Ranger action figure line was popular here, it was a massive success in Europe, where cowboy lore held a special fascination.
Never had a single figure as a kid and still don't own any but man, do i love looking at these.
(Thanks to Eddy for this scan!)

Space-Age Spaceware
I'm loving this article from a 1979 issue of Starlog highlighting some of the cooler space age toys coming out that year. The only bummer to this is that two foot Galactica never made it to market but seriously should have....

Superheroes: European Style
My pal Eddie sent me this wonderful page from France yesterday and it's all the reasons I collect catalogs, a wonderful smattering of what Superhero toys were available in 1977.
A little Mego, some AHI rack toys and a whole bunch of cool as hell stuff we never saw like the Goldarak Action figures!
I love catalogs....

Kenner Tree Tots
I always thought the Tree Tots were really clever, my heart at this time belonged to Big Jim but those commercials always held my attention.

Weeblemania
Weebles were completely forbidden in my household as we had pledged loyalty to the Fisher Price Little People.

Genuine Imitation Brand Fonzie
This Official Fonzie Jacket complete with "autographed photo" is the very peak of "Fonziemania" in 1976. I certainly remember being all in on that sort of thing having a shirt, a button, pillowcase and of course the Mego doll.
Now, my kids call Fonzie "that guy on the pillowcase".
