There's a lot of stuff on here that may have been missed over the years, I myself have forgotten some of our stuff. Thought it would be fun to dig some of it up and rehash.

This one still gives me tingles, the 1980 Grand Toys showroom at Canadian ToyFair

"The Penguin Club"! The Grand Toys people were ahead of their time by about 15 years or so. The Penguin would open "The Iceberg Lounge" as a supposedly legitimate nightclub in Batman comics and on "The New Batman Adventures" TV series. Love the Hulk on the skyscraper!

Yeah, I've always wondered if this predates the comics doing this.

Giant padlocks rule the planet!

… of course the most challenging design flaw of Ape jails was limiting the captives to the immediate reality that they could not climb out of the top.

It was hard to beat cardboard boxes for Mego cities. Is Grand Toys still kicking?

They were around until the mid 2000s, I even cornered a sales man at a toy fair who had been a stock boy during the Micronauts days. However, they seemed to die with Toybiz.

From what I could find on the net it looks like Steve Altro was at Grand until the end.

I'm pretty sure I met his son at a toy fair.
