    Brian, we should pool our considerable investigative efforts into tracking down a few former industry magazine photographers. Rob Chatlin could probably find someone in a day. Can you imagine getting the original prints or negatives of shots like this?! We would have detail galore!

    Sigh.

      Any One Kown Where That Gimbel's Was Located? It Looks, Somewhat Like The One I Used To Go To Located In Nyc On 34th Street, Right Across The Street From Korvett's Dept Store. Gimbel's Has Now Become The Mahhattan Mall And Korvette's Is Also Another Mall. Sad When Those Store's Left. Lot's Of Memories In Them.

          Sweet color pic. The others are cool too, but the colors on that first one just add so much more

            I believe those are Funstuf Rage Cage Hulk figures.

              Fantastic Pics.
              It seems as if ToyStores stocked the shelves a lot better then... , then they do now.

                  Excellent new pic, I love this stuff. And if it was possible to track down the original pics like Ben mentioned, that'd be amazing!
