The Return of Retro Toy Fair

[RSS]

It's that time of year again when we leave the 2009 Toy Fair coverage to sites like Action Figure Insider and we go back in time with toy fair articles from the 70s.

This year will be a little different however, rather than try to tackle four years in four days (which nearly killed me) I'm just going to focus on one year, 1979 for the entire period. So starting tomorrow for big announcements in the toy industry from 30 years ago.

Aw cool! 1979 was a good year for me and toys. I was 4, so I was old enough to really be into my toys and lust after ones I wanted.

Brick worked the Fisher Price booth, huh? "Hey baby, would you like to see my 'little people'. Oh, it's not THAT little..."

Shoveling 100" of snow off the roof (winter of 78/79 in Chicago). Wishing I was somewhere warm and watching the Dukes of Hazzard.

Moved to Georgia in July!

Brick and the Adventure People do seem to go well together. After all Brick's world is just one great adventure

I loved this last year and I can't wait to see what you post this year.
