I was kinda crushed to hear of the passing of Martin Landau yesterday besides being a fan of his work, there is also a true connection to him and this site. It was my admiration for merchandise based on Space:1999 that got me into toy collecting in the first place, so without Martin Landau toys, […]
As we conclude Apes week, let’s go out with a bang and present an item I don’t own but seriously wish i did. Presenting the Doctor Zaius that improved many a birthday party, more about this after the jump! This piece belongs to my friend Corey, who has supplied this site with a warehouse full […]

It’s kind of ironic that this features mainly the ‘peg warming” characters like Imperious leader, Ovion and Daggit. Also, why does Starbuck talk like a robot? follow us on […]
