Hasbro Paint by Number sets

i honestly don't know what would have won if i had a choice at six, probably the Super Friends but I think Star Trek had a decent shot.

A Tribute to Bad 70's Fashion

the best of fashion mockery

Who doesn't love a clip show? After more than a year and a half of blogging about polyester, it seemed fitting to put together a "Greatest Hits" packageof some of the bigger fashion attrocities of the 1970's. Thanks of course, to the good catalogs at Aldens, JC Penney, Sears and Wards.

So check out the best of Fashion Mockery for the finest in ugly shirts, dress alikes, Furhley wear and of course, Mantooth.

Cylons that don't look good in a dress

mattel battlestar galactica play set

Although Battlestar Galactica is a hit show nowadays, the series that had the better toys was the original. So take a journey back to when Cylons were men in suits, and Starbuk was a dude to the cool toys that got made and the cooler ones that didn't.

GI Joe VS the Spider


Skydive to Danger is to me the coolest GI Joe set ever and not just because I had it as a kid. The scenario of Joe parachuting into the Web of a cool giant Spider to me, has the perfect elements of childhood, a dose of reality and a big heaping hand of kid logic.

My own son is almost magnetically drawn to it, he's tried to swipe the spider and web off my shelf on more than one occasion, now that's a powerful toy. Anybody got a reissue set they want to sell me?

A look at a Smelly Old Lingerie Catalog...


Oooh La! La! A weird treat today, a disco era Lingerie Catalog complete with odd outfits, weird hair and maybe just a bit of Le Sexy? A few of my favourites below:



"The high council demands you disrobe now!" Nice shoulders!



"The Mavis", just in case you wondered what your Aunt who drinks a box of wine everyday looked like in sumpin' skimpy. Somebody get her a chesterfield.



"Where are you going? Why are you laughing?"

Bert and Ernie Keep Me Warm!

hey bert

Could this possibly be the grooviest piece of Sesame St merchandise ever? If I owned these, they'd be the only things I'd wear and I mean only.

Revamped the Plaidstallions website yesterday, drop by and let me know your thoughts.
