Space:1976 The Future Was Fantastic!
One of the reasons I began collecting toys was my love for Space:1999 merchandise, so these Mattel Space:1999 toy offerings from 1976 are something I’m really hyped about bringing to the site.
Now, Fight Like Apes!
Apes + Army Men = BlissI’d have played with this for an entire summer as a kid.
Staged Catalog Fun
Stuff like this always makes me laugh, like a photographer said “OK guys, frolic and act silly” because you know, all men do this…… “Hey what’s your number?” Brick is wearing the “Smoothy Belt” in this piece.
Style Sensations
More Put Togethers pain, the pants, jacket and shirt of this ensemble seem to be fighting.
Vintage Toys I saw at Wizard World

Space Warriors
I love knockoffs, these “Alien Warriors” and “Fighters from Afar” from Tomland (which was part of Marx) went by a lot of names. “Star Raiders”, “Creatures from Other Worlds”, “Famous Monsters of Legend”, the Wards catalog gave them the “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” name of “Kantina Kooks”!Note how much “Flash” (bottom middle) resembles a certain […]
