Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is a site that I can get info on Mattel from, I know there is plenty on vintage barbie's but is there a site for vintage Mattel products like Krusher or Suckerman?

Any help would be appreciated.

I would just like to know more about what products mattel made in the 70's, there are a few I can't remember the names of but the one's that I can are Krusher, Suckerman, Pulsar, Big Jim. I have tried google but couldnt get much help, I guess I am too spoilt with how good the mego museum is, they should make 'mego-museum-style' sites for all vintage toy companies.

great thanks a lot, but when I go to toynfo my computer crashes. I dont know why, my explorer just crashes, so I sadly don't think I can use it. thanks any way for the big jim site.

Here's a Big Jim site that shows some of the foreign releases too. But a lot of the site is under construction, so it's kind of hit and miss right now.

I've never heard of a site that covers all Mattel toys. But then again, Mego is kind of unique in that it often involves collectors that collect many lines from one company. You don't really hear about Mattel, Hasbro or Kenner collectors, for example. Anyway, here is a cool toy site that has a Pulsar section, in case you were curious:
