The Most Incredible Van in the world (eBay Link) My friend Steve sent me this mainly because it looks like the real-world version of Brick Mantooth’s Van-Tooth. It’s always been my dream to live in a cool van of this nature. Not sure about the nekkid lady mural but I’ll cross that bridge after I […]
Toy-Ventures this week is all about Christmas past with this look at a 1979 Childworld Flyer. Child World was a legendary Toy Store chain, and this flyer is packed with iconic toys like Micronauts, Kenner Star Wars, Suckerman, Mego Superheroes, Tonka Trucks and Big Wheels! What would you choose from this list? Let me know […]
For years, I’ve been picking up pieces from an eclectic collection of Knock-Off toys from Europe and the UK but this one is off the beaten path for me. Meet SuperAirMan, a flying toy from Spain made by a company called Juypal. This is one of the most excellent packages I’ve seen for a Knock-Off, […]
Larami was well known for some of my favourite Rack Toy output in the 1970s and 80s. However, the one thing that I am mildly obsessed with for their oddity is the so-called “Super Heroes Skates.” They’re cheap roller skates shaped like Super Heroes or are they Super Heroes shaped like Roller Skates?

We here at Pod Stallions H.Q. haven’t fully given up on the notion of Santa, or some similarly benevolent but less popular entity, taking requests for the Big Day.

Well, folks, today is the day. It would have been sooner, but I hesitated to order bodies because I didn’t want it to end. Then I realized that was silly and put this together. I am selling my last Brick Mantooth action figures, and once this sale is over, he will be retired, at least […]
Issue 8 of Toy-Ventures magazine has a new milestone with the article “The Birth of Roboskull.” Action Force historian Tony Roberts (AKA Analog Toys) and Bob Brechin, the iconic toy’s creator, co-wrote this article. It’s always a true pleasure to get toy history from the source. Did you miss print toy collector magazines? So […]
Vanity Fair made some unique licensed radios and turntables in the 70s. I particularly love the wrist radio (used for things like James Bond and Space: 1999) for Holly Hobby is surreal. However, it is all redeemed by the Fonzie jukebox, which functions as a prop for your Mego figures. The […]
