General Spidrax at Toys R Us

[RSS]

It doesn't get more 80s than this does it? The badguy from the Sectaurs meeting a kid with a Ghostbusters Tee shirt!

Reminder: This is the kind of thing I'm looking for in my next book "Mall of Justice".

How you can get involved: I'm looking for your photos and your recollections! Even if you've submitted them to the site before, I would likely need higher resolution and I'd want to talk to you.


What am i looking for: Appearances of costumed characters during the 1970s and 80s, be they from comic books (Batman, the Hulk) , cartoons (, toy lines (Masters of the Universe, GI Joe) or movies (Planet of the Apes, Star Wars) , a date and place and a description of how you felt meeting these iconic characters. Did you think they were real?


Does it have to specifically be in a mall:
HECK NO! Car shows, county fairs, grocery stores, heck I'd even accept birthday party shots. It's all fair game.

Holey moley! A beloved line for me, one of the best ever. And that costume is amazing! ( I see Dargon, too, in the background.)

that's cool. we did not have Toys R Us nearby until the late 80's. I don't recall seeing characters like that out. I do remember in the late 70's meeting Cpt. America and Spiderman, but sadly I have not found any pictures. I still have hundreds of negatives I found in my moms safe deposit box to go through. it is a very tedious process and because of the age the quality of scans is not very good. if I do find anything I will send it your way

I remember we had a Toys R Us not to far and at the grand opening we saw DeForest Kelley walking by with another person
he said hello to a few people outside then disappeared, kind of weird seeing him but it was definitely him.
