    Nerfman Trading Card



    Trading Card #25 is Nerfman by Parker Brothers, he's kind of forgotten now but this guy ruled, so I really wanted to honour him a bit. As an added nostalgic bonus, Nerfman is from the first toy dealer catalog I ever found because it came from my dad.









    Time for another great link in the world wide web and today's is pretty fantastic. Toy creator Mel Birnkrant has created a site giving you an inside look at the Maxx Fx toy line. I've blogged about Maxx here before, the concept was a doll of a special effects artist who could become movie monsters through the help of costumes. The whole thing imploded according to Birnkrant due to Matchbox's bright idea of making a stuffed Freddy Kruger doll for kids.

    The Life and Death of Maxx Fx is an amazing resource and provides insight that you will wish all toy lines had websites this good.

                  I love love love that card and I wish I could buy a Nerfman or two for my nephews.

                  Thomas, when I was a kid Nerf balls were the rage. They didn't "do" anything, but because they were spongy, you could belt them around the house without smashing stuff. I am guessing Nerfman is along the same lines.

                      Nerfman was awesome. Thomas his cape was a harder foam so it acted as a glider. So when you threw him he actually would fly/glide. It worked really well. I still have mine from when I was a kid.

                          It would be really nice if they reissued a Nerfman - I would love to grab one for me . . . erhh . . . I mean the kids. He was a lot of fun and flew pretty well.

                                  Great toy. I had many hours of fun in the backyard pool with this one. I wish they would reissue it.

                                          I remember once in day camp, I tried to make a Nerfgirl out of foam and glue. Didn't hold for long though.

                                          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                                          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
