Two Guys: Action Figure Headquarters
GI Joe, Action Jackson, Big Jim and Mego Superheroes, pretty close to everything I thought about before Star Wars blew up.
Battlestar Galactica Inflatable Viper
I recently discovered this in a catalog for toymaker GLJ, who specialized in things like bop bags and inflatable Barbie Furniture. Turns out they had the Battlestar Galactica license and planned a number of things, including this inflatable Colonial Viper that would have fit the 12″ Mattel figures. While some GLJ BSG merchandise made it […]
1977 Gabriel Toys Lone Ranger Catalog
The Lone Ranger toyline is easily one of the nicest action figure lines of the 1970s if not all time and Gabriel Toys had some real long running success with it. This 1977 Catalog is the third year for the line and shows that it was still going strong, Gabriel put a lot of effort […]
1975 Polistil Action Team (GI Joe) Catalog
There is nothing i like more an European Catalog for GI Joe Adventure team toys and this one from Polistil Italy is a lot of fun. Here they are the Action Team and all science fiction is toned down in favour of a slightly more paramilitary look. As always, the products and faces are familiar […]
Shindana Toy Center
I love seeing stuff like this 1977 article and especially a whole store display of Shindana merchandise like the JJ Walker plush, Wanda and of course, the amazing Slade Super Agent dolls.
Lincoln Monsters in the 1976 Galoob Catalog
It wouldn’t be Halloween without me waxing poetic about my favourite monster toy line of all time, the Lincoln Monsters. This year I came across one of my absolute grails, in the form of finding the 1976 Galoob toys catalog. Although Galoob was later known for licensed items and things such as Micro Machines, 1976 […]
Remco Monsterizer Video
One of my favourite monster toys of all time is the Remco Monsterizer, even though it doesn’t a have ton of play value, it’s just such a nice and thoughtful prop. I was happy to discover that mine actually worked the other day and it inspired me to make this little video short all about […]
Remco Monsters Glow in the Dark Haunted House
One of the reasons I love October is I get to talk about Monster toys, in my top five are the Remco monsters and their awesome, wonderful haunted house playset. More on these guys next week. More Remco Monsters on PlaidStallions: .
Glass Lite Dracula from Brazil
One of my favourite monster toys of late is this tremendously quirky 1980s action figure made in Brazil by the famous (to Star Wars collectors) Glasslite toy company. Glasslite simply released the single 3 3/4″ Dracula, no other monsters appear on the card and he’s a pretty sweet figure but that’s not the best part. (Photo […]
Mego Mad Monsters Love
I adore the Mego Mad Monsters, it’s definitely in my top five all time Monster toy lines (which I’ll speak more about this month). While Mego didn’t get the Universal license, they created a really crazy series of generic Monster figures that even glow in the dark! Here’s Mego Dracula and the Mummy in their […]
