Secret Wars Coin Bank!

Wall Clock!

Too cool... I wonder if any of these still work today?

Spidey's Clever Crosswords!

Spider-Man Webmaker by Chemtoy!

Centerpiece!

Sorry I don't have a better photo in my files...

Carry Case!

Made in 1978, I'm not sure what this carrying case was designed to carry... action figures, cars, other stuff? I guess that if the manufacturer didn't specify, you could put anything in it, eh?

Captain Action Flicker Ring!

Free in specially marked packages of the Spider-Man costume and mask for Captain Action!

Cap Gun?????

As I've noted before, when toy manufacturers licensed super-heroes, apparently there was nothing in the contracts specifying that the toys the heroes would appear on should have anything to do with the characters themselves.

Take this repeating cap gun... both Spidey and Captain America are on the card art. Does either one use a gun? No. Do any of the Marvel heroes of the time use a gun, especially one like this one? Maybe Nick Fury, but they weren't licensing SHIELD at all.

I guess they weren't making enough money with the version of this gun with card art from cop shows or something?



Apparently they figured they'd sell enough of these they'd need to make caps available for refills, too.

Spidey Camera and Ideal Pocket Flix!

It shouldn't surprise you that I'm all in favor of a Spider-Man camera... because it makes perfect sense! It would make even more sense if it was part of a Spidey utility belt that included a Spider-Signal and web-shooters, but I digress.

Pocket Flix was one of those ubiquitous late 1970s movie viewer toys, that you'd insert a film cartridge that was on a loop and watch very short edited-down cartoons, tv shows, or movies!

Calculator!

Yeah... Spidey didn't ever use a calculator that I recall. I'd imagine Peter Parker could do just about any math problem you'd use this for in his head!

Buddy L Vehicles Gift Pack!

Buddy L Electronic Spider-Vehicles!

I'd completely forgotten I had these in my photo collection!

Belt Buckles!

This one was made in 1975...



...and this one in 1979!

Beach Bucket!

Bubble Machine!

Wow, this is kind of disturbing... just pop Spidey's head over (because his neck is hinged like Harry Potter's Nearly Headless Nick) and he makes bubbles through his exposed neck!

Bubble Guns!

I'm not sure Spidey bubble guns make any more sense than Spidey sparkle guns or Spidey ball blaster guns...

Bubblegum Bank!

Bubble Funnies!

I'm guessing this was part of a series of mini-comics that were sold with a stick of gum in the early 1980s...

Bubble Blower!

Man, the Spider-Bike part of this certainly looks like the same thing that was part of the AHI Action Straw, doesn't it?

Bubb-a-Loons!

When I was a kid, this stuff was advertised on TV as "Super Elastic Bubble Plastic," and it's being sold under all sorts of different names today!

Dining Set!

My son would LOVE this set!

Corgi Spider-Bike!

Bookmark!

Book Cover!

Big Little Book!

Black Light Poster!

Spider-Man Binoculars!

Well, this isn't as cheap as yesterday's item, but it makes no more sense...

Binocular Set!

Here's another example of what happens when licenses are cheap to acquire... manufacturers of cheap rack toys like this one take items they're already producing and slap a new sticker on them, with no regard as to whether or not it makes any sense...

The Spider-Man Machine!
