Super Toe / Super Jock : Schaper Toys - 1974 - 1985
Today's entry is the "Super Jock" line from Schaper Toys. In 1974 the original "Super Toe" toy was introduced. Super Toe is a field goal kicking football player.

The object of Super Toe was simple, launch projectiles indoors in the dead of winter, and hope it doesn't break anything. LOL. Actually it was more like, you unroll the plastic field, assemble the plastic field goal post. Set your kicker up, put the ball down, and then SMASH down on the kickers head (just like in real life, LOL) !! and he would kick the ball. What could be more fun !
You could go for 150 yard field goals and still make them. We could play this for hours. Your only limitation was the fact that after a while your palms would get sore, from smashing down on the head of the kicker. You didn't even need to set up the goal post as it was fun to just launch the football as a projectile.
A lot of fun times with this toy. How 70's !

With the success of the Super Toe toy, Schaper launched an entire "Super Jock" lineup featuring sports such as baseball, hockey, basketball and soccer. The basketball version of Super Jock was probably the most popular after the original Super Toe.
