OT: vintage Christmas catalog toy pages

[heinlein99]

For those who are interested, I will be posting images from vintage (mostly 70's) Christmas catalogs all this month on my pop-culture blog. Lots of cool toys, including plenty of action figures, and some hilarious stuff:

Great blog, H99! What memories.

 

One year for Father's Day I bought my Dad one of the Laffun Heads that are on the Montgomery Wards novelty radios page (but I'm pretty sure I got his at Spencer's Gifts or some other novelty shop). When you pull the tie they let out a maniacal laugh and spit water at whoever is unfortunate enough to be standing in front of it. Nailed my Dad.

I have a 72 sears christmas catalog that I pull out every year and go back thru, man gotta love those plaid pants and turtlenecks for the kiddos.

Ahh, the memories.
