NEW YORK COMIC ART CONVENTION 1976

Hello Woodsy

In going through boxes I can across a program for the NY1976 Comic Art Convention. 

Attached is a scan of the inside front cover. It's from Marvel and mentions Logan's Run, Star Wars and Forbidden Planet.

Might be of interest to your readers.

LOST IN THE SNOW

 

A ghostbuster came knocking.

Not sure which one he is.

MYSTERY FIGURES

 

I recognise a few of these toy figures on the cover of this old book I saw online but I can't ID the chap with the red Fez on his head or the young lad bottom right.

Any ideas readers?

Incidentally, I have the Action Man version of this book.

Will Osborne's Supercar Pelham Puppets

My Pelham's Professor Popkiss, Mitch and Mike Mercury from Supercar.

BASIL BRUSH AND HIS CAR

 

Picking up on the recent TV nostalgia thread here's a toy car I don't think I had. I really can't recall those 2 tapes/soundbox for listening to old Bushy laughing. What a fab bit of kit that was and I assume it came in the little box tucked into one side of the packaging shown in the pic below.

I do rememner those boffins pictured on the top of the box - the Corgi Technocrats?

Looking up the year of manufacture, 1971, I would have been 10. I can't decide if that was too old for a Basil Brush Corgi car. Did you have one readers?

Soldier Boys

More Swoppet goodness!

 

Swoppet Time

Any excuse to show a few snaps of Britains and Timpo figures. Some Herald, some Swoppet.

Swoppet Mexicans, my favourites due to the interchangeability of the hats and bodies!

Some slightly awkward looking indians and bemused cowboys.

Britains Deetail (?) cowboys after a few shots of old redeye and getting a bit raucous.
 

Cowboys versus Aliens!

British and American Board Games

Hi Woodsy

Here is a rather interesting clip from You Tube about the differences between the British and American versions of various board games. Nearly everything is now owned by Hasbro.

PS. Has anyone got any old board games?
