Another Childhood hero gone, but not forgotten. Because Smokey and the Bandit was always a favorite of mine, I thought I’d remember Burt Reynolds in my own way. Sharing some photos and video clips.
Although I never met this talented actor, I’m going to miss him dearly, he was a huge part of my childhood.

Love those seventies boys toys! This one was based off of a real private investigator/actor! Released by Ideal in 1978, Jay J. Armes had detachable prosthetic attachments, various gadgets, and a Mobile Investigation Unit!
On a personal note, my J.J. Armes is locked away in my Mego Enterprise!
Looking through old wish books this weekend, I thought it time I start spotlighting again. Not only the toys fascinate me though, but the fashions! And apparently the color green was a very popular color.. For those that remember the seventies, 1975 especially. I hope you enjoy this fashion flashback! I plan to blog more in the near future!
