Prize Machine from the UK with a Captain Zargon action figure (eBay Link) – Where to begin on this thing? 1) it’s one of those seaside/vacation items of the era, where you throw in money hoping to get something worthwhile but you’re likely getting a sticker. The thing that makes it special is the Action […]
I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes […]

‘Because our last lil’ mini for the 70s Saturday Morning preview went so well, we thought we’d give it another go. Only this time: a supercut of Japanese Toy Commercials from the 70s! We figured 18 minutes of brilliant and insightful commentary, and voila! Another Pod Stallions masterpiece to deliver to the masses. Um, except, […]
Scooby Doo Police Chief Rack Toy by Harmony (eBay Link) – Harmony is one of my favourite Rack Toy manufacturers, mainly because a) they chose a lot of weird licenses and b) I am always surprised by them. This Scooby Doo toy is news to me, I’ve never seen it and it’s pretty awesome. These […]
Baron Karza and Force Commander are the yin and yang of the Mego Micronauts toy line, and in this episode, we explain the toy’s anime origins and the many twists and turns it’s had in revivals and spin-offs. #mego #micronauts #microman #takara_tomy Do you miss toy collector magazines? That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an […]
Charlie’s Angels Target Set (eBay Link) – This is a bit of a head-scratcher, it almost feels like you’re going to shoot the Angels. I figure it’s time to make a controversial statement and that is, Kelly is the best Angel. There, I said it, no offence to Farrah or the brainy one but it’s […]
Were you one of the lucky kids who, at Christmas, got the deluxe Kojak playset from, oh, let’s just assume, your grandparents? That was way better than a Mego Batman, right? I mean, now you can take the Penguin downtown and process him. Get him a lawyer and see if he’ll talk about that […]
I love these early catalogue pages for Big Jim’s P.A.C.K, which was Mattel’s clever rebranding of the popular sports and adventure character. Anyone who scans this site probably can figure out how happy a memory this toy line was for me. This ad is still using the original storyline where the P.A.C.K is made up of […]
On February 4th, 2011, we lost the great Tura Satana, and we at White Elephant Toyz and Odeon, in conjunction with Tura Satana productions, wanted to do something special to honour her memory today. With the figure currently in the production queue, we aren’t quite ready to open up pre-orders, but we thought we’d offer […]
