Tomland (a UK Company who was in the Marx family of companies) marketed these fun and strange 8 inch mego-like action figures under a variety of names but the best known is “Star Raiders” which were obviously meant to cash in on the renewed interest in Sci Fi thanks entirely to “Star Wars” coming on […]
It couldn’t get more obscure or joyous for me. Growing up, I LOVED Filmation’s post apocalyptic series “Ark 2“ with a passion. So i nearly did a spit take when I discovered this Halloween costume on the ebay. I would have fought tooth and nail for it but I was lucky enough to snag it […]
