The ten greatest cheapo drug store toys

[ctc]

>My Dad sold those to all Macs stores in Ontario,

YUP! That's where we got those, and the Monster Colouring books.

>but never on the card that my Dad carried them

The ones I remember had a center circle which looked like a porthole, with a pulp era "evil princess" type looking out at a squad of fighters flying by.

That sounds like them, I remember robes.

That "Planet of The Apes Parachutist" toy is actually very cool! The funny thing about most of these is once they are out of the package they're totally generic & worthless. It's "the card" graphics that make them great!

I remember these type of toys everywhere during the 70's when I was a kid. Great stuff!

Captain America is chasing "nightshade" or some other early 70's Blaxpoitation villaness. I think I saw her twice?

I think my favorite was a Shadow helicopter I saw in the grocery store one day. Didnt get it but wanted it.

What about all those great " Learn to Shave " kits?
Beetle Baily? Popeye?
Wonder if they did a Hulk or Superman shaving kit.

Cool list. I remember some of those!

I'd add the Tarzan morse code signaller I had as a kid. I loved that thing.
