Snapshot No. 5: Toy Magic Under the Tree!

David Tedeschi recently submitted some fantastic shots of Christmas 1977, and they're too good not to at least share one.

This shot is literally a "who's who" of cool 1970s toys. We have Maskatron, evil enemy of the Six Million Dollar Man (still in its cardboard cell, no less), a Mego Batman Bat Lab (a repurposed Volkswagen bus, actually), Fisher-Price Adventure People sets, Mego comic action heroes, a Batmobile Exploding Bridge -- and is that a boxed Stretch Armstrong, I see, too? Just amazing stuff. Expect more from David in the near future.

If you have a photo and story to share, please drop us a line at xmasinthe70s [at] yahoo.com.
