1977 Vanity Fair Catalog

[RSS]

Venity Fair was one of the leading makers of electronics for children, which by 1977 standards meant they sold radios, walkie talkies and other items that look like stone tools to today's generation..

What sets them apart is the breadth of licensed items they produced, take 1977 for instance where we got a variety of products ranging from James Bond to Holly Hobbie, from the Fonz's fifties antics to the far out future of Space:1999.

I've got a Hardy Boys record player and a Shaun Cassidy radio from Vanity Faire!

That 007 radio is pretty darn cool looking.

Fonzie never looked as tough as that painting there! I wonder how Ron Howard felt about getting almost zero merchandising love? I guess he's laughing all the way to the bank now though...

The Flash Gordon walkie-talkies on the last page look like EVA from WALL-E.

I wonder whether I can find that RC 'Flash Gordon' car on eBay..???


Hmmmmmm.

Cool stuff. I still have my fonzie radio on display in my rec-room. AYYYYYYY!!

The should have slapped a Space:1999 logo on the "Space Communicator Walkie Talkies" on the last page. Stylistically, they actually look like something that would have been on that series, either as an alien device or a piece of second season Alpha equipment. That would have been a much better choice than the wrist radio. Missed opportunity there.

I've never seen that 007 radio. That's cool.
