One such book is a brand-new one published by Chronicle Books titled, "Wham-O Super-Book: Celebrating 60 Years Inside the Fun Factory". Written by Tim Walsh, this baby is packed with tons of great information, color photos, vintage ads, illustrations, & much more all about the super-classic toy company, Wham-O! We have all at one time had a favorite Wham-O Toy. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >I mean, they have been around for over 60 years! </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >They're famous for making the Frisbee, Hula Hoop, Super Ball, Slip 'N Slide, Silly String, Hacky Sack, Monster Magnet, Superelasticbubbleplastic, & much much more! Shown here are just a few of the many photos seen inside this wonderful book. I also found a YouTube video of the author explaining the book. Overall it's 192 well-written pages that will totally bring back the good memories. As a toy collector I found that it reminded me of many toys I used to love but sadly forgot, like "Magic Window"! My sister & I used to play with that thing all the time, ha ha! As a toy dealer the book is also a great reference for time lines, different issues of packaging for the same toy, when they came out, etc...it's just loaded with tons of great photos too! So, it's seriously a great book that I can reccommend to everybody who loves vintage toy history.</span><br><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FuUaTCNBI6c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FuUaTCNBI6c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><br><br><center><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=batblogbatmto-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0811864456&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-70874625507273349342007-12-02T01:01:00.000-06:002007-12-02T01:05:07.849-06:00Ad: A Great Place To Buy Toys & Action Figures!<center><a target="_blank" href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=96986&u=195867&m=14304&urllink=&afftrack="><img src="http://www.shareasale.com/image/ybn_468x60_igot4.gif" border=0></a></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-88022852694454844302007-12-02T00:55:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:30:58.465-06:00WALLPAPER BACKGROUND: Vintage 1950's GRAN'PA FROG Fisher Price Pull Toy #464<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuZWpDcchMcw1c0mCQbaf4-5unE0Q9w4pfqhIdvhMWv2UNu2qEYiJmgsROENZ4RDJcojw7hyphenhyphenLffqCBwywUefPfJOY780HN3peJfm1B7HHUGnVYvH6c59bFmrstPUnXJHhnrtcmxhNyhng/s1600-r/vintage_fisher-price.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIysuYDz_XJUt1_xRzV5PxSYU0p_SA7PewryTXJxuLR_q_DJnYNUgprEUAOzCMhtpOeCl98FllAzcaHtLTBOOPUZgNOC61zhPAMyLzOJkpi2snyjkA0WQEa6Y-PHLQbFnbPj9lAKsjEtE/s400/vintage_fisher-price.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139267075633969714" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Here's a wallpaper I made for Vintage Toy Collectors to decorate their desktop or use in a MySpace layout.

It's the SSP SMASH-UP DERBY SET made by Kenner in the 70's. First I remember having a simple SSP Race Car. It had a rip-cord you could pull to make a gyro-wheel spin, you set it down & away it goes. These have become extremely collectible for a few reasons: They're hard-to-find, they made many different versions, everybody has great memories of playing with them, & they're cool! Later, Kenner made a toy set that consisted of 2 Smash-Up Derby Cars & some accessories. Usually a set of ramps. The goal was to get the car to fly off the ramps & hit in mid-air...awesome! Kenner made many different variations with just a few shown up above. Also, down below, is a really cool retro 70's TV Toy Commercial for this toy, check it out!!</span><br><br /><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jE6J3wWE2Pg&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jE6J3wWE2Pg&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-71791714510086919562007-12-02T00:07:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:00.289-06:00Vintage 1970's BARBIE COUNTRY CAMPER By Mattel ©1970<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp305Kd2FumIAltUXn8Z_cz02vUuIe_rKaRtuqwWtjcupB1doK_HVqRqKvqPY4ANH_js92qaTQNg7nQBxUrdjUhjJawW4W2GHlbcWR1ycgc66UnIuL5K0Fkdg46KXxGAy3GPxYM_KIcCc/s1600-r/camper1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOh1SMxipcCI21knzWWcvxoo_pBUQKQohISVBNVpECL1_uGMfGbuwAObnzMZQakQRAHbGI-4Qfhc_rt3IEYwevlahzDpQ_3ixJs1TEbJTWMitDhFS_gZSQl5-dByHO7ynYCMhuiZUZtWs/s400/camper1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139255178574559682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk1bdshX0rsp6WbfUInmxTV9s0suT-YWtVN_MWDMZzv61Z476llgQ_V935s77VYLKMELVsCdEg9qFa36ZmkipNq2JZp8JCilPqh6uZgqtvaFKo0TAOnYKf0QzhRlmbq8Rw00xLnJydEas/s1600-r/camper2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5riQeJToh8gEfjbMsFTWLd9iGyuctSK3gZ_X7aqRi2p-2lHinNq5XXDfoYoDtA3YNFrBftqySApwRyA4tSmrgYh_Ef9_J2eoWP2IdcuJ-XkzLZlofHYzTAbNihLI991qtBpgkkHATSg/s400/camper2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139255122739984818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXzZgNl1DDWMRn0Ogkk7s8EShEon697mg7gg66d58fMq5XIvItAMJ6n7K7MfnxPyvDQ_639uUkU4TCHvSwAw8L2ByiG7PK_PSBQHcUESrprMdWXMp_A9kFsmm_2KWifkC0z9JpmkZS-s/s1600-r/camper3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EOXhhnX_cLDiP-89fXe-4tPoHQPwkmPX3cXlJF9C2_yzdx2rrYKLaFf0Wo9eQEVKCQqujnZS4ErXc_voXOL4AFETXpfJH3R5uzzywyeTXutSovR7QUbSLhLxXEwnQkLX6MUUhpXrC8U/s400/camper3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139255054020508066" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >This should bring back a lot of fond memories for Vintage Barbie Doll Collectors. Here's the BARBIE COUNTRY CAMPER! Made by Mattel ©1970. This was one of Barbie's most popular vehicles. It came with outdoor furniture so you pretend you were camping, Yyyee HHaaaww!! These are starting to get pretty hard-to-find in MINT condition but I think the best thing about it is the original box with the cool vintage graphics, great for display! Below is a cool YouTube video of the famous 1971 TV Commercial, enjoy!</span><br><br /><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C1RF9vIZ458&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C1RF9vIZ458&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-47164241488684060502007-11-26T06:18:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:00.469-06:00This Year Please Donate Some Toys To TOYS FOR TOTS!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-iPrTzqNXBQJ8ME17VXlZdA2sti_rJ_7wmpt1WvNGedcBTa2CwQzrxvXHWLxSF-OB3DU5BD4rSNgpGkkDNDms9BsFtF6TjX9XbWxs9j4kIhNgMFZw30tpsaBlFnNTcYFYiBq3C3KhRM/s1600-h/poster_tots.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-iPrTzqNXBQJ8ME17VXlZdA2sti_rJ_7wmpt1WvNGedcBTa2CwQzrxvXHWLxSF-OB3DU5BD4rSNgpGkkDNDms9BsFtF6TjX9XbWxs9j4kIhNgMFZw30tpsaBlFnNTcYFYiBq3C3KhRM/s400/poster_tots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137123081708660738" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">"Let's Show Everyone That Toy Collectors Are The Most Generous People You Can Meet!"</span><br /><br />I never "Get Political" or anything like that but I want to remind everybody about an incredible charity called TOYS FOR TOTS.<br />I know many of you have heard of it. Every year the US Marine Corp starts a drive to help bring toys to under-privledged children everywhere.<br />I think as toy collectors we really need to think about how we are blessed with this freedom & we need to think about others.<br />Since 1989 this organization has helped bring joy & happiness to many children who's parents can hardly afford food!<br />Think about being a little kid & the sheer joy a gift of a toy brings. You can help others who can't help themselves.<br /><br />All they ask for is a very easy thing we can all do. Either donate money ( ANY amount helps ) or<br />donate a sealed MINT IN PACKAGE Toy to one of their drop-off locations. Their "Donation Boxes" are everywhere!<br />I know they have them at ALL Toys-R-Us stores, that's the one I use.<br />But, if you check out their website they can tell you all of the many spots in your own hometown.<br />I hope everyone who reads this not only thinks about it but does it. Thank You, I appreciate you reading this far.<br /><br />You can find all the information you need at their official website:<br />http://www.toysfortots.org/</span><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.toysfortots.org/"><img src="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc294/ebeyslave/button_tots.jpg" height="80" width="160" /></a></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-61602796605520483742007-11-26T02:10:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:01.027-06:00Vintage 1970's Hasbro INCHWORM Riding Toy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi7MmZ-Ix_c_Y7Lh-WbuuWs2IDt7IcELZnDJeqpiA3KBJvMaoe5XkW0d9NzlGgxD2dJhSm1weAKdGAkQdqUovnl7NJ98K5JwVXOMuKOoO2ZydMpK2xshMmMz-eE2pWQqjfPt_W7xVqU2I/s1600-h/inchworm_box.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi7MmZ-Ix_c_Y7Lh-WbuuWs2IDt7IcELZnDJeqpiA3KBJvMaoe5XkW0d9NzlGgxD2dJhSm1weAKdGAkQdqUovnl7NJ98K5JwVXOMuKOoO2ZydMpK2xshMmMz-eE2pWQqjfPt_W7xVqU2I/s400/inchworm_box.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137061938554234754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oF-ebTNxwZxu1nhqt1ty7CeNJCvHTaIbtXTBMLSWOesE9LIte2lALeaXX0xLKSqGljUFDRr62zo6F57JcRdzrvnXP8DorlHN-iFAVfBWo3XGzcX0qRxBuU7OZ7eZ5I3ZLy7QScvooYQ/s1600-h/inchworm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oF-ebTNxwZxu1nhqt1ty7CeNJCvHTaIbtXTBMLSWOesE9LIte2lALeaXX0xLKSqGljUFDRr62zo6F57JcRdzrvnXP8DorlHN-iFAVfBWo3XGzcX0qRxBuU7OZ7eZ5I3ZLy7QScvooYQ/s400/inchworm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137061874129725298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Zb_P4R4f5PNsc5Xa-wjIy_Od2HSGsK1CJCqlgRKbDgMVIncR-SE04NtlVaMw9oPJExGuhSadG17HBAgnV-4JEuQQlKExD_6tcZxHJpQPv8aI0SdTvkLTvUkl1yhylKEG5-f_MEiCZmY/s1600-h/inchworm_ad.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Zb_P4R4f5PNsc5Xa-wjIy_Od2HSGsK1CJCqlgRKbDgMVIncR-SE04NtlVaMw9oPJExGuhSadG17HBAgnV-4JEuQQlKExD_6tcZxHJpQPv8aI0SdTvkLTvUkl1yhylKEG5-f_MEiCZmY/s400/inchworm_ad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137061771050510178" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >I know that lately this Vintage Toy Blog has been on </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >sort-of </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >a "riding toy" kick but I swear I don't mean to be, it just happened like that. I promise I'm gonna be covering a lot more variety than this so please bear with me, ha ha! I just had to do this one because it's kinda special to me. I remember as a little kid my Sister had this, now classic, riding toy by Hasbro Romper Room called The INCHWORM. She loved that toy dearly & rode it every single day. Now, 30 or so years later, these are actually very very hard-to-find, at least the vintage ones anyway. As a Vintage Toy Dealer I found one a few years back. I sold it on eBay & it did very well. I sold it around Christmas & I guess 2 or 3 people wanted it real bad. Ya know, as a perfect xmas gift idea! Anyway, this was a ride-on toy by Hasbro Romper Room that is now super-classic. Right here I'm showing you the Original Box ( wonderful graphics ), the Actual INCHWORM Toy, a Vintage Magazine Toy Ad, & a very cool YouTube video of the Retro 70's TV Toy Commercial, enjoy!</span><br /><br /><center><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6j9Rg0KhlZE&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6j9Rg0KhlZE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-61494619982316432152007-11-19T17:05:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:01.389-06:00FREE DESKTOP WALLPAPERS: Toy Ride Car MARX-MOBILE ELECTRIC-DRIVE!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvENIqpiJNRXi2MuExBYvmYIb3zLK1nMLgftzFwyKjJcgEXO-JPg4Ra1OQSJindPYCaMDAkY0E44znJcET4zpin6ffQejRWRGAUiyaPYQV6ATRV633_uqLW6bubtWLJwj81jsxA9xsUk/s1600-h/wallpaper_marx2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvENIqpiJNRXi2MuExBYvmYIb3zLK1nMLgftzFwyKjJcgEXO-JPg4Ra1OQSJindPYCaMDAkY0E44znJcET4zpin6ffQejRWRGAUiyaPYQV6ATRV633_uqLW6bubtWLJwj81jsxA9xsUk/s400/wallpaper_marx2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134693156716307858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUR34SOMk0W-k5jDqsPpDeooELxvXivlua5E6o869YzJWmZal7RivtVLe5hdgDKptR1nKWiwHss1TwVfGilRh69q9Uq1zCARbhGKfQtaW6C77kGAaRVq1tPTEuwT2RMSbOaWPlFiRxWUE/s1600-h/wallpaper_marx.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUR34SOMk0W-k5jDqsPpDeooELxvXivlua5E6o869YzJWmZal7RivtVLe5hdgDKptR1nKWiwHss1TwVfGilRh69q9Uq1zCARbhGKfQtaW6C77kGAaRVq1tPTEuwT2RMSbOaWPlFiRxWUE/s400/wallpaper_marx.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134693032162256258" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Here's a nice set of 2 Wallpapers you can use to brighten your desktop or place in a MySpace Layout.

I remember that, as kids, we all learned that if you got a lot of speed, sort of went into a slight turn & hit the hand brake then WHOOOSSSHH! You would spin-out like crazy, ha ha! Ahhhh, good times. This was a really great ride-on toy. The Big Wheel was created by Louis Marx Toys and unveiled to the public at the 1969 New York City Toy Fair. The Big Wheel immediately became a national success! One of their early sales brochures reads as follows, "The Big Wheel by Marx. Adjustable seat. Easy-reach handbrake for quick stop/start action. Large plastic front wheel for lots of pedal power. New extra-wide rear racing slicks for "drift-action" turns. Modified long-horn handlebars. "Engine roar" can be turned on and off. Flashy decals and detailing on fork. Hot red, blue, and yellow plastic and steel construction. 38 in. long x 201/2 in. high. For ages 4 to 9." Here's some photos to enjoy ( I love the classic Vintage Ads, especially the one with Cap'n Crunch ) & remember to watch the YouTube Vintage Toy Commercial at the end. Also, the large picture of the BIG WHEEL, with the bright-white background, is actually a HUGE Desktop Wallpaper. Click on it, then add this Classic Vintage Toy to your PC Desktop or put it in a MySpace layout!</span><br /><br /><center><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HjTAA_da97w&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HjTAA_da97w&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-36276732004989261942007-11-16T17:01:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:04.439-06:00Vintage Cereal Box Collectibles: BOO BERRY By General Mills<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqSwfELPiHh59RLLDEo36Xs5n7jDHWsIn8dCQuAZIp5i_dDV3lfhxxpcHqxnKVkjIxm3fraG0xGjSgxnPOo_ZM6OP3Uat5_v2pqv9bwEKF8ysjXCQ-U6no0ayNShmBkq81GiKCxEhAsxk/s1600-h/boo1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I even buy new ones that come out but my favorites are the ones from my childhood, mainly the 1970's. My favorite cereals as a kid were Quisp, Cap'n Crunch, Pink Panther Flakes, & Freakies! One character I really love is BOO BERRY! He was a part of the monster cereal group that also included Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Yummy Mummy, & Fruit Brute. Shown here are a few examples of older BOO BERRY Cereal Boxes & some premiums. I've even included a few brand-new items to show that people still really love this character. One item that's pretty cool is a Boo Berry in Car Bobble-Head Nodder made by Funko, enjoy!<br /></span><br><br /><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1cEOKS5-DcQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1cEOKS5-DcQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-147681481171110042007-11-14T10:23:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:31:04.915-06:002 RARE Vintage BICHI Batman Toys of Batmobile & Batboat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-bCopKRgFj7Lo13OW_5XLUrVb14QcuZw_4MLTvRfM3YwvuXw2wGXKSM_w5s3lta_ybWiMyAIZm89m8c9CO9ealIwT2D187-t4qnBsel3JchqKFlDwLy7GONIE9F8RZ7miQgwfwNKQ0Ug/s1600-h/bichi_batboat.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-bCopKRgFj7Lo13OW_5XLUrVb14QcuZw_4MLTvRfM3YwvuXw2wGXKSM_w5s3lta_ybWiMyAIZm89m8c9CO9ealIwT2D187-t4qnBsel3JchqKFlDwLy7GONIE9F8RZ7miQgwfwNKQ0Ug/s400/bichi_batboat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132734765414098338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGrxFZZGt0e2mbRHpp_qBDMCRlyGD9Cay37m6nxjDwshhS1-tL9HZkwRxHVAkMe0S0_YFcIZqhCzF9NNXpfn4o-vlo3GW6viT4g2yN1llEiIHh1jXoCoKH8FZFsmLvNUfOpZs1hfjU84Q/s1600-h/bichi.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGrxFZZGt0e2mbRHpp_qBDMCRlyGD9Cay37m6nxjDwshhS1-tL9HZkwRxHVAkMe0S0_YFcIZqhCzF9NNXpfn4o-vlo3GW6viT4g2yN1llEiIHh1jXoCoKH8FZFsmLvNUfOpZs1hfjU84Q/s400/bichi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132734683809719698" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >We have another vintage toy blog called The BAT-BLOG & this was a post from there done about a year ago. Included in the pictures above are 2 extremely RARE Batman Toys both made by a foreign toy company called BICHI. They make toys in Argentina! One is a very cool 1960's style Batmobile ( like the one designed by George Barris for the 1966 TV Series starring Adam West), shown with original box. The other is an extremely cool Batboat that is a battery operated bump-n-go vehicle, also with original box. I love the graphics on the boxes but the Bat-Boat's box is my favorite, see the explosion & there's a dead person in it....awesome! Both vehicles feature Robin The Boy Wonder ( Burt Ward ) riding shotgun. Ya gotta love that! Remember to click on the small pics for larger photos.

They made quite a bit of them & I have collected them for years. I'm not sure why I started to collect them but I bet it's because I loved them as a child. At my grandmother's house she still has the Mr. Magoo one that I used to play with. They have done many characters including, Felix The Cat, Superman, Tweety Bird, Mickey Mouse, & even the Beatles. I have about 65 of them that I will share later but right now I wanted to focus on these four, The Universial Monsters. This complete set of 4 bottles are quite RARE. They made Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, & The Creature From The Lost Lagoon! The Creature Soaky, in this picture above, is shown with it's original "packaging", a RARE cardboard sleeve that it fit into.</span>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913699930421568584.post-30963938144166552502007-11-14T00:21:00.000-06:002007-11-14T00:28:39.285-06:00VIDEO: Vintage DR.

I have been a Vintage Toy Dealer for over 20+ years & a very serious collector for even longer. With this blog I plan to share the experience I have learned & spread the joy of collecting. One day about 20+ years ago I drove by an antique store in my hometown of Oklahoma City named THE ANTIQUE STOP. I had driven by it a few times thinking how neat the place looked. One day I stopped & went inside. While there I found an old metal lunch box, the Incredible Hulk ©1978. I also found a Vintage 1960's Fisher Price Bumble Bee Pull Toy that is kind of common but I used to have one as a kid & it brought back a lot of fond memories. I ended up buying both items & this was the start of something big. I then spent the next 20+ years going to garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, estate sales, etc...I have set-up at toy shows, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >indoor/outdoor </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >flea markets, & was even an eBay slave for 11 years.

It never ends.</span>Tommy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077788010426744104noreply@blogger.com1
