Big Jim Boris the Devious Chauffer (sponsored Link)
Another European James Bond Masterpiece, Boris was also marketed under the James Bond 007 Banner. I found this guy in the 80s via toyshop and immediately fell in love with him. Not only is he made up of some of my favourite Big Jim PACK Characters (namely Dr. Steel and Torpedo Fist) but he totally looks like he came out of a Matt Helm film! There is no downside.
3 Henshin Cyborgs with vintage Outfits (sponsored link) —
A couple of really neat deals happened this week with Henshin Cyborg, one of those toy lines I dabble in but mainly window shop. I thought this lot of three Shonin Cyborgs were tempting. I’m passing this temptation along in case it’s of benefit.

A Man called Sloane Promotional Poster from NBC (sponsored link)
For some reason, I am obsessed with the short-lived 1979 NBC Spy Television series that was definitely channelling the Roger Moore James Bond era. It was pretty silly with androids, weather machines and oh so many death rays. I have never seen this poster before. Conrad replaced the actor in the pilot, and I find it interesting that Sloane almost had a mustache. This will haunt me.
1979 Blake’s 7 British Annual (sponsored link) –
I am fond of both the Annual format and this groundbreaking sci-fi series; you’d think I’d own one, but nope. I also haven’t finished the first season Blu-rays I got last Christmas, I think I’ll fix that.
Bruce Action (sponsored link)-
I don’t know what “Bruce Action” is but I think I could use some. This toy is a masterpiece of both sloppiness and inadvertent hilarity.
The Lincoln Monsters Backer Kit Store is now open to the public. After the successful Kickstarter campaign (Thank You Again!), BackerKit is the next chance to get in on the Lincoln Horror Show.
