Japanese Jaws 3D display (sponsored link)—
JAWS 3D is a guilty pleasure my wife and I both share; it’s just the perfect mix of schlock for us. If it’s on TV, we have to watch it, just like our “Goodfellas” rule. Seeing that Japan has recognized this film’s true greatness is another reason I want to move there.
Sandokan film strips (sponsored link) —
I’m really intrigued by this film strip series, here showcasing the popular “Sandokan” pirate series. I wonder what other properties got such treatment?
JotaStar Doctor Who Card Game (sponsored link)
I think I’ve featured these before but I’m a sucker for weird Tom Baker merchandise. A lot of the merchandising art back then was kind of …depressing.
Bootleg Blacula Halloween Mask (Sponsored Link)–
I don’t know the origins of this mask, but it sure feels like William Marshall was the inspiration.
Buck Rogers Game from Brazil (sponsored link) —
I have never seen this toy before. I think the most interesting thing about it is how Joseph Wiseman is so predominant on the packaging. Wiseman’s Draco was largely cut out of the film and only mentioned in the series, so it’s interesting that they promoted him as the big bad. I also just found out he was Canadian.

If you find those Sandokan or other such movie cartridges broken even if they are for another company like Kenner, you can break them open and play them in a film projector. The vast majority are Super 8, though you might only be able to project a reverse image depending on how they were transferred for the toy. Some are Regular 8mm and one was wider with Super 8 perferations.
I had a toy similar to that Buck Rogers battle game, only it featured a battleship design with battleship-style cannons rather than futuristic laser cannons. Kinda primitive even for the time, bu it was super cool and I loved it.
