The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of TOYBOX
TIME MACHINE from IDW Publishing. The book is written and illustrated by Marty
Baumann.
Travel back in time and wonder what would have happened
if these magnificent toys had actually come out! From Holly Thorne, Agent of M.O.D., to the
U-Boat Hunter Search and Destroy, to the very scary Reflect-o Masks, it’s all
here (and only here) in this catalog!
Mr. Baumann captures the fun, wacky, imaginative spirit
of the toys (and ads) of the 1950s and 1960s. The attention he pays is SO
detailed; right down to the logos of the non-existing companies look like they
belong in that time period. The ad graphics look like they just came out of a
comic book or magazine, and they are perfect. This book does not lie when it
claims “a catalog of the coolest toys never made.” I wish they have been made
and are available now! I’d buy them. Check it out and either relive your
childhood or wish this had been a part of your childhood.
TOYBOX TIME MACHINE is in stores now or available at
www.idwpublishing.com.
