    Not actually toys but Good old glasses

    How about those great glasses that were carried through,Burger chef,Burger king and Pepsi..From King Kong to superheroes,the glasses of the 70's were the rage.I remember my parents paying 99 cents for a King Kong glass when the movie came out.The movie wasn't great but i really like the artwork on the glasses.Star wars was a nother big one that went SW to Jedi.Even Indiana Jones made its mark on glasses!


    Now the pepsi superhero glasses are another level of art on thier own.These glasses are rather tough to come by a full set but are sure worth it if you find them.I actually own 9 and hunting the rest down..Ahhh those 1970's..i sure do miss those years,but i always have something to remember them by.

                    Have my 3 Star Wars Sets, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and the new Star Trek glasses on display. Have several boxes of other sets but no room to show them off!
                    Too many toys. Not enough space!

                        I have all the DC Pepsi "moon" glasses except 2, GL and Penguin. I have the 2nd set, except I still need a "straight" bottomed Batman glass.

                        I also love my Superman: The Movie glasses. I can't say for sure, but it sure looks like Gray Morrow did the artwork on those.

                        I saw a similar Spider-Man glass from the 70s with that classic Romita running pose at a Peddler's Mall a few weeks back. I wonder where it came from?

                        Oh, and that display is NUTS Tim!

                              Is there somewhere on the internet that shows all the Slurpee cups?
                              I have picked up lots of them but am never sure what was made.

                              I really dig the new Toon Tumbler glasses. I have spoken to the
                              owner at the FX show and NY Comicon and he gets the idea.
