The unintentional theme to this week seems to be “Mattel toys my mom refused to buy me”. Clash of the Titans was at least a compromise, I was allowed to have Perseus and Thallo but not the uber cool Calibos or Charon because as my mum daintily put it “They look like hell!”

But no one EVER thought Perseus was gay.
Kraken was AWESOME. he’d be a great toy to fight my Super Powers Aquaman.
Yes, I wanted these too, and yes I didn’t have any of them.
Hey, they are putting out a sequel of Clash of the Titans in comic form called Wrath of the Titans.

had pegasus and maybe perseus! this movie needed a bigger helping of fantasy and less vultures, scorpians, and dogs! and caliban was not the coolest harryhausen villain ever. although there was alot about this movie i really enjoyed.
I had the entire line, which was awesome because the movie prompted my interest in mythology and D&D. I was bummed that they never released a Medusa figure, since she was my favorite character in the movie. I still remember my parents getting me the Kraken; they were really nice with fulfilling my little kid toy needs.
I recently got a really coo thermal longsleeve shirt of “The Sword of Aphrodite”! I was blown away! This is the movie that tweaked my interrest in Greek Myth. I’m still hunting for a Kracken and some replacement swords for my fellows I still proudly own. Also, the lunchbox was the most beautiful lunchbox I evr owned! I STILL have that as well!
The Kraken was the one toy I wanted more than any other but wasn't allowed to have… I also wasn't allowed any D&D or He-Man toys because they were "Satanic".
My brother wasn't allowed toy guns.
Now he's a soldier in the army and I make surreal horror art and practice occult magick… good going, mom and dad!!
