This is the third Toy Flier I have from 1975 with Mego Star Trek on the cover, thank goodness for Star Trek collectors saving these.

The Fisher Price Sesame Street set is the big get here, this was the first year it was launched.

Mego’s Wizard of Oz line was also launched in 1975, it was a big year for licensed toys.

It’s kind of weird to see the Planet of the Apes adventure set mixed in with growing up Skipper and Holly Hobbie.

Evel Knievel was still a super hot toy in 1975 and surprisingly the Mego planet of the apes dolls still sold despite the series getting canceled almost a year earlier..

Those flock haired Karate Men were under my tree that year, I always wanted to turn them into action figures.

Hedstron, Huffy and Murray….

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #2 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.

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.
