I suppose if a young man wore the Air-Combat Glasses too much, he may need to eventually purchase the Inflatable Doll !

I would have loved a Superman costume, but that was a little before my time. I was never one who liked model kits, so a lot of this I would never have considered getting. The posters are cool, but my mother would never permit them to be attached to the walls.

I love the art in comics, even the ad art like is seen in this thread, at least until the late 80's/early 90's.

Ok, CUBE LUBE?? Lawdamitey.
The thought of Kenner Chip-Away statues is fascinating but I'm sure it's less fun than previously indicated.
I think the copy for Judy the inflatable doll from a couple batches back should probably not suggest for proper usage "Give your daughter a Judy Doll and she'll be the talk of the neighborhood with the largest doll in town." I can't imagine the hilarity of a naive parent mistakenly giving their daughter a sex doll.

Some Mego & model kits ads for Trek, POTA, & WGSH I scanned from a Warren CREEPY mag.

I've had a great run of picking up vintage horror comics lately. Always wanna scan the figure ads, but just don't get around to it. Action Attack Warriors and Biotron I don't remember being discussed here.

Couple Kenner ones from a beat up '77 ish of Twilight Zone. (I love you Rod Serling) Top police work here - just run 'em down! I quite like that a bank robber would be wearing a shirt that says 'crook'. Eat my ¢£°$#¿*s Evel Knievel! ROCKIN' RICK! is here to be forgotten. And he's thrashing 100% more guitars and moustaches. Ah 1977, what a time to be alive... ... I assume.

Oh, 1977. Rockin Rick! Doesn't even wear a helmet. Feels like he was based off a biker from Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song. Guess the name Gonorrhea Rick! was already taken.

... is it posts you're looking for? Not from a comic, but on the subject of Kenner ... I have never seen see the Daddy Saddle before and it looked like it was from my era since the Daddy's hair had a gallon of grease in it. I found an article with more photos. From 1965, it sold for $4.98 plus the cost of the emergency room visit from when Junior broke 3 of Daddy's ribs after watching The Lone Ranger or Roy Rogers and digging his heels getting Daddy to Giddyap!

Matthew McConaughey is starring in the upcoming Rockin' Rock biopic.
I remember we had this Kenner cow that you would put some undocumented white 70s powder and water in it, pump the tail, and then milk the rubber udder into a tiny metal bucket and you would get some non-potable chalky water. I found this toy fascinating for some reason. Between Duke, Daddy Saddle, and Milky the Cow, there were clearly some super doped up executives at Kenner in the 70s.

You're thinking of the Kenner Bernie the Bull Animal Husbandry Adventure playset. They used the same white powder packets in those sets.

Matthew McConaughey is starring in the upcoming Rockin' Rock biopic. Looked at some photos of the actual figure for Rockin Rick! Dude does NOT look as focused as he does in the advert. Think he's cocktailing. I remember we had this Kenner cow that you would put some undocumented white 70s powder and water in it, pump the tail, and then milk the rubber udder into a tiny metal bucket and you would get some non-potable chalky water. I found this toy fascinating for some reason. Between Duke, Daddy Saddle, and Milky the Cow, there were clearly some super doped up executives at Kenner in the 70s. It's plain cruel they made the cow juice non-consumable. What kid milking a toy cow gets to the end of the game then happily pours the fruits of their labour down the sink? No kid. You wait til Mumsy turns her back and you knock that pail back like a shotglass mix of vinegared chartreuse and dry wall. The fevered rash and twitching eye just add to the fun. Really though, could you not fill it with actual milk and then give it a thorough rinse after? Kenner weighed the risk of 'Mystery powder A' below minute traces of curdled milk I guess.

Forget Milky, here's Gobbles the trash eating goat... Oh, this one would confuse lil ones no end. If anyone has a stable awareness of the correlation between feeding an animal and making it poo, it's a toddler. This would just make 'em grow up thinking every goat has a colostomy bag.

Well, it was non-toxic, but tasted like sheet rock, I mean, if that's your thing. Maybe didn't help that the toy came out in the 70s and I had it as a hand me down in the 80s. Good point though, why not just dispense actual milk? And why did they never produce the Clockwork Orange Lily the Lactating Lithium-Laced Lady playset from the Korova Milk Bar? Kids woulda loved that!

The parents of the lactose intolerant kids would have been out in full force if it used real milk.

Lactose intolerance is one of those made up diseases from the late 90s, like restless leg syndrome. Crazy that no one farted from dairy product for the first 30000 years of civilized society.

I think there was a reaction, but no one spoke of it. They were probably drinking goat's milk or mammoth's milk anyway. Restless leg syndrome does exist. My father-in-law had it and he would be sleeping with his leg jumping every minute or so. It woke him up depending on how strong they were each night, but if it kept him awake most of the night one night, he slept through the jumping for the most part the next night. You can only go so long without sleep.

Some Mego & model kits ads for Trek, POTA, & WGSH I scanned from a Warren CREEPY mag. Ah, yes. Every time I saw the "Star Trek Exploration Set" ad in a comic book it would illicit a response of excitement. I don't know how many of those kits my Dad put together for me and I would go outside and pretend I was on some adventure after "beaming down" from the Enterprise. After enough of them broke from playing with them, my Grandpa made me a phaser and communicator out of wood.

Yeah I can't imagine those kits were durable enough to be played with outside. I remember you posted that before about your grandfather making you the wooden toys and Enterprise. Hey did you see the latest Super 7 POTA figures?
Never say never.
