A Man called Sloane Crew Jacket (eBay Link) — As listeners of our Podcast might know, I am obsessed with the TV series “A Man Called Sloan.” It was a late 70s spy series that had some camp value, very much like Buck Rogers. I really want this but I’m not sure what I’d do […]
In case you missed the Toy-Ventures live stream, here is the newly restored Mego Planet of the Apes commercials on YouTube.
