Fashion Dolls:1999

I have a couple of these Knock-Off German fashion dolls with overstock clothes from other toys, my favourite being the Denys Fisher Tom Baker Doctor Who.

This one had me at Space:1999 as she is rocking the Mattel Doctor Victor Bergman top but following up with plaid pants. Space:1999 would have run longer if the cast wore Plaid, just sayin’

Knock-Offs: Fashion Dolls:1999

Like Knock-Offs? Get our book. It’s now in its second printing, so it is a knock-off as well. I’m tired.

These links are sponsored and eBay is getting a little crazy about how much they need me to say this. I get 20 bucks a week doing this.

Inflatable Batman Kite (Affiliate Link) 

I’m not sure I’ve ever been aware of this kite by Sky-Way products, my dad sold Ray-Line kits and honestly, when you have a parent in the kite industry, your needs are totally met that way. There could have been a Phantom of the Paradise Kite and I wouldn’t have known…

Japanese Spider-Man Menko Card (Affiliate Link) —

I had a hard choice this week with Menko cards; I chose either Spidey or a series featuring Spectreman’s Dr. Gori. I think Spidey is the crowd pleaser but part of me feels like a sell-out.

Mattel 1976 Catalog (affiliate link) 

I don’t have to explain my love of toy catalogues; this to me is an essential, Big Jim P.A.C.K and Space:1999? Insane year.

Wentoys Frankenstein Figure (Affiliate Link)—

This figure is by SunGold and this series (which includes a Freddy, Mummy and Wolfman) was primarily sold in European and UK discount stores. As you may have sussed out, I have a soft spot for Frankenstein Figures offered through discount shops…..

Collegeville Lord of the Rings Halloween Costume (affiliate link) —

As a kid, I was aware of Middle Earth but not really into any of it signifigantly. What I do find funny, though, is the two kids I knew back then that would have nerded out to this costume? Yeah, I still talk to those dudes 40 years later.

Mattel Space:1999

The post Toy-Ventures: Mattel Space:1999 Moonbase Alpha Playset appeared first on PS.

The Eagle One Ship and Moonbase Alpha Playset were holdovers from the 1976 Mattel Space:1999 Offering

Space 1999 is heavily featured in the premiere issue of our new magazine “Toy-Ventures” available now!

The Zython alien figure was added to the line this year, however he wasn’t an alien that appeared on the series. He ended up only seeing release in Europe. The Mattel Eagle Vertibird playset is very hard to find.

This recently discovered prototype from Mattel is a 1/6th scale version of the Commander Koenig character played by Martin Landau. It’s not known why Mattel abandoned this figure but it’s likeness is amazing.

In the same lot were unpainted factory “first pulls” of the 9″ figure heads for Commander Koenig and Professor Bergman.
