Links are sponsored but the choices and opinions are entirely mine.

Repurposed Vistors gun from “V” (sponsored link) —

Arco toys had the license to make V toys and they did until the series was cancelled (still mad about that) and then they just kept making the Visitor guns but under different names, including Robotech. I wish I had bought one when I saw it at Toys R Us all those haircuts ago….

Dragon Riders of Styx Demon Flyer (sponsored link)

These toys came out when I was in middle school and I remember seeing them at places like “Bargain Harolds.” An attempt to cash in on the Dungeons and Dragon craze of the early 1980s, I found the toys really charming. I especially love this (super rare) vehicle because it looks like a carnival dark ride car.

Filmation Manta and Moray Animation Cel (sponsored Link)

Tarzan and the Super 7 was one of my favourite Saturday morning series of all time. The characters will likely never see a revival due to comic companies noticing some similiarities. Fortunately the cartoons are out there….

Universal Studios Battlestar Galactica bag (sponsored link)–

I can’t tell you how much I wanted to go to the Universal Studios tour as a kid to see this Galactica show. I never made it but at least I have “The Nude Bomb” to show me what it’s like.

Doctor Who Tom Baker Tardis Tin (sponsored link)–

In the dark ages of Doctor Who merchandise (aka the 1980s), this was the best it got for me toy wise. They made this for two Doctors, as another was made of Peter Davison. That is the one I owned as a kid because I couldn’t get over Tom Baker’s painted body. At least he isn’t grinning though, I really like “Serious Tom Baker” toys.
