Welcome to Yesterville Toy Room...Now with Bionic Grip!
A place to remember the toys and times of the 1970s.
Do you long for the days when it was possible to rebuild a man for only six million dollars? Does the idea of winding something to the point of bloody knuckles seem more fitting than filling up a battery compartment? Do you believe a man can effectively fight crime wearing oven mitts? Have you ever searched desperately from store to store for something called a Jawa to complete your "twelve?"
If so, this just might be your place.
Part of my intent with this blog is to generate discussion about our memories of the times and toys of the 1970s. So, please comment. Start or join a discussion and have fun reminiscing about the toys from the "grooviest" decade.

I remember that bad guy.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed totally evil to me.
Oh, I forgot about the roll back skin. Way cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah, these were very cool toys. I like how the designers were always trying to pack the figures with features.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably post a photo feature on Mr. Austin sometime this weekend. The evil Maskatron won't be too far behind.
Doesn’t the artist of this ad look like Wally Wood? The Maskatron face in center sure looked like Wood’s work.
