Kenner Raiders of the Lost Ark Announcment
It’s pretty weird to see Kenner announce something as big as this with such a crummy ad but I’m guessing they had no time to craft a decent ad. Below is the first notice to the trade showing the figures:
Battle of the Planets by Jecsan
Ever since I found this guy sitting at the cash register of Suspect Video on Queen and talked the manager out of it (good thing too because the store sadly burned down not long after) I’ve been wondering what the heck he was. I by and large just assumed a knock off figure sold in […]
Astro Apes Inflatables
I’ve blogged about the bootleg Planet of the Apes knock off action figure line “The Astro Apes” before but I never thought I’d run into more merchandising for such a fly by night line. Then I run into these insane dime store rarities, let us have a looksie this box inside after the jump. The […]
Matchbox MAC Air Rescue Unit
Matchbox Mobile Action Command (MAC for short) is a largely forgotten toy line but happily remembered toy line of the 1970s. At least judging by the “What were those cool vehicle/figure sets called?” type emails i get about once a week. It’s also a toy line I actively collect but with one caveat, I have […]
Pod Stallions 45 : The Monkees
We’re thrilled to be back recording PodStallions after some truly turbulent times. Today’s show is all about our mutual love for the Monkee’s, although neither of us were alive for the show’s original run we were both hooked on reruns and records during the middle 1970s. We kick off the show playing catch up and […]
Bionic Marvels!
That communicator works up to ten feet away! I’m telling you technology will never get any better….
Fisher Price Adventure People Make Me Happy
I really don’t have a lot to say today other than the sight of Fisher Price Adventure People never fail to make me happy. This ad is from 1975 when “collect em all” meant “four sets”.
Mighty Crusaders by Remco
I have a very deep affections for Archie’s Superhero characters and while I wish the Remco Mighty Crusader’s line was better, I do realize this is the first and possibly only action figure line I’ll see in my life time. Characters like The Web, The Fox, the Comet and the Shield have never really been […]
Fighting Furies will make a big splash
I’ll never understand why I don’t own any of these wonderful Matchbox Fighting Furies figures. I should fix that, post haste!
