So, it was pointed out today that this is the 40th anniversary of the airing of “V,” a groundbreaking science fiction mini-series. First off, I adore “V” it blew my mind as a kid and I followed it right to the bitter end. Secondly, HOW THE HELL IS 7th GRADE 40 YEARS AGO? I […]
Photoshop fun with Mego Planet of the Apes! Working on issue 10 of Toy-Ventures Magazine, and for no good reason, I thought it might be fun to try and recreate the artwork of the beautiful accessories boxes. I am something of an impulsive creature. My first attempt is the Planet of the Apes Jail, a […]

While generally considered a Star Wars Knock-Off, if “Luke Solo” above wasn’t enough of a clue, the Kusan Sonic Fazer is one of those toys that’s better than Kenner’s official products. (that prize also goes to Milton Bradley’s Star Bird) While the Kenner blasters sounded like my blender when I put in too […]
I don’t collect Bugs Bunny merchandise as an adult, I honestly feel watching Looney Tunes as a kid was time well spent. The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show was an oasis every Sunday away from “Hee Haw” and freaking “Lawrence Welk” (which I now adore). With national recognition, it’s no surprise that Bugs enjoyed “Krusty the […]
I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes […]
Were you one of the lucky kids who, at Christmas, got the deluxe Kojak playset from, oh, let’s just assume, your grandparents? That was way better than a Mego Batman, right? I mean, now you can take the Penguin downtown and process him. Get him a lawyer and see if he’ll talk about that […]
Behold what happens when you’ve had a little much Christmas cheer, and everybody went to bed. Apparently, I really had to have this inflatable Galen from Planet of the Apes, which totally checks out. Everyone needs an inflatable Roddy McDowall, right? Right? Turns out this was like a series, and I borrowed this image from […]
Vanity Fair made some unique licensed radios and turntables in the 70s. I particularly love the wrist radio (used for things like James Bond and Space: 1999) for Holly Hobby is surreal. However, it is all redeemed by the Fonzie jukebox, which functions as a prop for your Mego figures. The […]
Sesame Street Alarm Clocks Talking alarm clocks were a staple in the 1970s, with the Janex Batman and Robin set being one of the most memorable. I love the juxtaposition of these choices, the exceptionally chipper Big Bird would be welcome on Friday but let’s face it, Oscar would be the less annoying wake-up on […]
