Believe it or not, I’ve had a 1984 Spring/Summer Sears catalog kicking around my basement for years. Not quite since 1984 but the better part of a decade. I looked through it a few months ago — the amount of carpeting Sears saw fit to put in bathrooms was ludicrous — and came across a …

See the M*A*S*H Cast as Children
I’ve been going through some of my archived M*A*S*H content and came across the following two page excerpt from an unidentified magazine that features photographs of the cast (from the later seasons) as children.

Bachmann M*A*S*H Train Set
One of the more unusual pieces of M*A*S*H memorabilia is the Bachmann HO scale train set.

Today I’ll tackle the remainder of Durham’s M*A*S*H toy line: a helicopter and a motorcycle, both also released in 1975. Or at least these are the only other additional toys I’m …

Durham M*A*S*H Action Figures, Circa 1975
Note: All images taken from completed eBay auctions. Back in 2008, Peter Kurch wrote a wonderful analysis of the 1982 Tristar line of M*A*S*H collectibles (action figures, vehicles and a huge playset).
