I’m still going through photos from ZoloCon earlier this month, and I missed talking about a few items. I just remembered why I took so many photos of this at my friend Mark Huckabone’s booth.

The Tri-Star M*A*S*H toyline came onto the scene when I was pretty into the GI Joe RAH toy line, thanks to that wonderful comic. I’m a notorious cherry picker of action figure lines as a kid; I only had Crystar himself, one Muppet Show (Gonzo), and….. Hawkeye Pierce. I watched M*A*S*H episodes back-to-back every day on the little black-and-white TV in my bedroom as a kid (on City TV channel 79).

I can’t say the toy line impressed me at that age. I remember friends taking me to see the “Klinger in a dress” figure in the toy department. We were old enough to wonder why a toy company would even do that. Klinger no longer did that on the show since the 1970s. It was our first taste of ironic humour; these figures almost reached “Love Boat” levels of mockery with my friends on mall trips (WHERE WE WENT BY OURSELVES BTW!)

But I caved and bought a Hawkeye. I thought it would work, but at that age, I don’t know if I was playing so much or acting out the comics. Also, I was 12 and impulsive.

It didn’t work; his grimace ruined every “Scene” in my head. He even looked elated when Cobra killed him. I vowed never to buy any more Mash figures; I had “buyer’s remorse.”

However, the Vehicles looked cool as hell, and I always wanted the MASH Helicopter as a toy, dating back to an early memory. However, I couldn’t abide their “Generic 4077 Soldier Man,” who was not only just Hawkeye again but also a mustard-blonde, no-eyebrows man.

It pained me that the entire M*A*S*H cast, even a simple background soldier, had to be smiling as if the Joker had just visited the 4077 and put Smylex in Hawkeye’s still.

I could live with myself with having one chuckling character, but I was not letting this grinning homunculus into my home.

It’s a silly thing to me now, and honestly, even when I saw that helicopter on closeout, it didn’t matter because there was this new toy line called “Dungeons and Dragons” that, despite my never successfully having ever played the game, was my last childhood toy line. It was perfect for a middle school kid.

]]> 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Fisher Price drinkware, Doctor Who, People Pieces, a big regret and the Penguin rides a chopper!

Disclaimer: Links are Sponsored but the opinions are my own.

Chem-Toy Halloween “People Pieces” (sponsored link) —

It “Pants-Wettingly Terrifying” was the goal here, Mission Accomplished. This guy is showing up in my dreams. 

 

 

 

Vintage Fisher Price Little People Juice Glass (sponsored link) —

This is new to me, not sure they ever sold these in Canada. I’d like to think I’d remember that face.

 

 

 

AHI Batman Penguin Stunt Cycle (sponsored link) —

 

While I love AHI Rack Toys , I do draw the line on collecting the Superhero Stunt cycles (The Planet of the Apes ones are pricey enough) but seeing the Penguin on a chopper is rather silly. Like a lot of collectors I wish AHI had created a few monster super cycles. It’s just money on the table….

 

Mego Micronauts Sharkos (sponsored link)

I associate the Micronauts with Christmas, and every year I treat myself to a piece.

2025 will not be the year I buy Sharkos, I already spent that money (more on that later). Sharkos is a scarce Micronauts Aliens vehicle that was sold mainly in Italy and Canada. If it had a box with Ken Kelly art on it like the earlier vehicles, I’d be more tempted to buy it. It’s always bugged me, almost as much as Antron piloting when Repto or Lobros would be more appropriate.

I hope everyone read that in “Comic Book Guy” voice.

 

Peter Davison Doctor Who Puzzle (sponsored link) —

I enjoyed that Peter Davison’s era sparked new Doctor Who merchandise, as Doctor Who was my first foray into organized fandom. While I still am mixed about that era of Doctor Who, I’ve mellowed in my opinion of it but I’ll still never give “Kinda” another watch.

 

 

BONUS ! THE BIG REGERT!

 

As some might know, my friend Courtney often contributes to this and sends me links. This one is going to haunt me for a while. 

 

These…. MASTERPIECES….sold for less than $100 for the pair. I am filled with an incredible rage right now.

]]> Plaid Stallions wouldn’t exist without wishbooks, especially the ones I grew up with. I’m attempting to bring out some of my favourites druing December. I vividly remember getting this one tucked in the Saturday Star as kid. This is from Simpson’s a long since deceased (but missed) retailer.

The action figure selection is pretty awesome this year with Mattel’s Big Jim sharing the spotlight with the Mego Planet of the Apes and Star Trek figures. I had some of this stuff as a kid and the stuff I didn’t have? I wanted it.

 

On the other side of the spread, we have the amazing GI Joe Adventure team, my first action figure love, being overshadowed by the “It girl” of `75, Kenner’s Col. Steve Austin from the Six Million Dollar Man line. I was a lucky kid who got one that Christmas, and I enjoyed it for years.

Happy to announce I’ve got inventory of the Gargon action figure for Canadian fans, thanks to my friends at White Elephant Toyz and Vintage Toys and Trains.

 

Gargon is the latest figure from Adventure Command, and this reimagination of Gor is bigger and better. 

Gargon king of monsters regular version

 

Adventure Command Gargon articulated vinyl figure. He’s the king of the monsters, clocking in at roughly 9 1/2 inches tall. He towers over the vintage figure. Add this beast to your Adventure Command collection today. He comes in a collector-friendly box with an inner clamshell. Accessories include a crown and a sceptre, a club, gladiator’s shoulder armour, a helmet and a ray gun.

 

Note: The shoulder armour straps are glued and cannot be removed and reattached without reapplying glue.
