Mattel hoped that they ahd the next Star Wars with Ray Harryhausen's second trip into Greek Mythology in 1981's "Clash of the Titans" . While the film was a hit at the box office, it somehow didn't carry over to the toy shelves...

Because as cool as the toys looked, they kinda sucked. My brother and I were the only two kids on my street that had any of them, and quite frankly, Perseus couldn't hold a candle to Han Solo!

Duct tape sold separately. It was really hard to vacuum out those loose beans if you had shag carpeting but dammit, those things were crazy comfy.For more Fashion Mockery and 70's toy love visit us at Plaid Stallions.com

My grandparents had a large Budweiser one. And ours at home ended up with the real wet look when our cats left a present on it. ; )

Yesterday Critical Mass releasing issued a statement over at Frightenstein.com saying that the show's broadcast rights are set to expire Dec 31 2009 and so far, no one has picked them up for 2010, meaning the show would go off the air completely.Being a fan of this Canadian institution, I don't...

Those pics are great. Too bad the web slinger wasn't more animated in those pics. Ah well. Good to have Spidey show for the party. :)

Glad everyone likes the pics! :)

@Tom Berges: As for Spidey not being more animated in the pics, I can tell you he certainly was animated while he was there. I remember when he first arrived, he actually leaped over the chain link fence you see in the background with one hand on the top of the fence. It scared the beejeebees out of my Grandmother. LOL

Captain America never gets enough toy love IMO. These RC cars were an uncharacteristicly higher price point item from AHI and while the Spider-Man car was around for a couple of years, I can only find evidence of Cap being offered in 1980 thus far...

This question might get me in hot water but were these marketed for the gay community? I can't imagine straight guys wearing these or showing them off to their friends.

The influence of Star Wars is incredibly obvious in any Christmas Catalog from 1978 to about 1982. Space Toys were pretty much in the minority prior to 1978, then all of a sudden cool, crazy stuff like these helmets and pistols started popping up...
