Sanchezstein’s Monster (sponsored link) —
Ok, so this auction ended while I was writing this, and I also failed to win it. I have no idea what program this little devil is from, but I love that a monster toy like this exists.
I mean, the “Sanchezstein’s Monster” is such a cool name, and this gives me “Carry On” vibes.
StingRay Troy Tempest play suit by Dekkertoys (sponsored link) —-
The Gerry Anderson brand had a renaissance in the mid-90s UK. The consumers were mainly kids, so a lot of fun toys and action figures got made that had them in mind. It was so fun! I had never seen these brilliant play suits. There are several characters, but the Troy Tempest set has me smitten.
Whitman Super-Villains Catwoman puzzle (Sponsored Link) —
I have never seen this puzzle before, and I hope it’s part of a series. The art isn’t likely swiped from a comic but an original creation.
It makes me smile that Batman is nowhere to be seen; it’s the battle of Catwoman VS Robin, like he stands a chance.
Talking Ghost Target Game set (sponsored link) —
Another 70s toy and toy company I’ve never heard of, will wonders never cease? I’m a sucker for art like that.
Topps Flying Things counter display (sponsored link) —
I think these things predate me, but wow, I would have so been there. I even made a Toy-Ventures flying glider a couple of years back.

Sanchezstein’s Monster is apparently from a Mexican kids’ game show.

When I was in England in 1996, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many new Gerry Anderson-related toys around. I bought some small stuff as souvenirs for friends, but I kept this big Thunderbirds set with all the vehicles for myself.
