Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

R is for Radios

They’re not just transistor radios, they’re “transistorized” radios. Is that a real thing? I have no idea, but it sure sounds way cooler!

These guys look like they just walked off of the pages of a comic book, don’t they? There’s just something about these large hunks of plastic that appeals to me so much.

I still need to track down the Superman radio. I wonder if there are any others, maybe a Wonder Woman radio? Off to eBay I go!

When you look at these things, it’s hard to believe how far technology has come in the past 40 years. Now if I could just get an iPod that looks as cool as these radios, then all would be right in the world.


Alright, I’m all caught up with the Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge, and tomorrow should be a breeze — Spider-Man, Superman, simians — what should I choose???

    Hello, Curious if you would allow me to use the pic of the transistor radio box as a cover for an upcoming Radio play we will be doing. It sure would look neat-o. they take a long time getting their pictures together so it would only be temporary. If you want to look us over we are on Facebook. Sincerely, posting for Audio Air Force.
