Atomic Mike is an homage to Bionic heroes of the past and Klone is an original creation in the spirit of Darkon.

Mint off Card this week looks at the latest from White Elephant Toyz in the form of Super Joe Unlimited. Super Joe has triumphantly returned based on the underrated toy line from the late 1970s.

We’re making collectible pins featuring many of the toys we celebrate and characters from this site.

Kenner’s Turbo Tower of Power and SSP sets were very popular.

Love the boxing game, I had the Kar-r-r-rate Men instead.

Lili Ledy Gi Joe Accion Adventurers

Mexico’s take on GI Joe, “Adventuro Accion” was a pure joy with plenty of additions, variations and exclusives. Oh, how I love these so.

Our magazine Toy-Ventures is now on it’s 9th issue. If you like this site and vintage toys, please check it out.

Lili Ledy Sesame Street figures

I am in awe of Mexican Sesame Street toys, especially the regional characters we didn’t get here.

Do I need to explain who Barbara is mimicking? I didn’t think so. Barbie was sold by rival Mexican toymaker Cipsa during this period.

I’ve also made a few other collectible pins based on knockoffs and characters from this website. Look for a few more designs coming very soon.

I love this amazing UK comic ad for Palitoy Commander Power. In 1978, Palitoy who were still selling 12″ GI Joe under the Action Man banner (and doing ver well) took Hasbro’s latest incarnation of Joe, now called Super Joe, and rebranded it as Commander Power.

Three figures from the US line were brought over, Super Joe, The Shield, and Gor: King of the Terrons. Funny enough, the Terron itself was rebranded “Gargon” and wisely sold as a nemesis to the Action Man Space Ranger figures. So I guess Gor was king of nothing in the UK?

Like all Palitoy products, the packaging was improved upon with wonderful art and a comic story on the back.

Palitoy Commander Power ran for two years and was not a big hit for the company. The Super Joe concept faded in the US by 1978 and Hasbro wouldn’t return to action figures in a meaningful way until 1982.

For more on Super Joe and Palitoy Commander Power please check out our gallery.

Hasbro Super Joe

Added some new pics and information to our Hasbro Super Joe page at the Action Figure Archive.

I have a real fondness for this short-lived but unique toy line by Hasbro, most people at the time didn’t even realize it was supposed to be G.I. Joe, this is mainly because he’s eight inches tall. 

G.I. Joe was getting killed by smaller competitors like Big Jim and the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes, so they shrunk him down to Mego size and sent him to space. What resulted was a fun toy line that just sold well for the first year thanks to Star Wars but laid an egg in the second, thanks to Star Wars toys finally landing on shelves.

So come celebrate the Adventures of Super Joe, The Shield, Darkon and Gor, King of the Terrons in the Hasbro Super Joe gallery.

Also, if you have something I don’t and want to share it, drop me a line, I love adding to these pages!
