It’s been a long time coming, the first foray into what is the quintessential science fiction block buster of the early 1970s, the Planet of the Apes Phenom. Episode 1 deals with the first movie (we’re going to take our time with this) and brushes lightly on the actors, the makeup, the script, our man […]
Presenting the latest release from Odeon Toys, Satin Monster: Superfly Edition. I’ve brought him back by popular demand but this time he’s wearing authentic 70s wear that has been featured on PlaidStallions. I based this one off the “Maxi” an outfit I actually owned.

This is a double page spread of happiness.
Star Blazers was a huge phenomenon in my neighbourhood when it hit the airwaves in 1979, my friends and I would gather every day at the one house whose ariel got the channel just to see if the Argo did indeed save earth. That’s why these action figures produced by Nomura in Japan blew my […]
I’m proud to finally announce that Odeon’s latest action figure, Captain Canuck is now available to order.

When I first launched the Popy World Hero gallery, I had a few mysteries to solve like who certain characters were and the like. I’m happy to announce that the gallery attracted like minded folks who joined in and helped out, filling in a pile of gaps, like who was mystery figure 17? I now […]
My buddy Dana has uncovered more variants to the V figure that I showed here in April. Whoever made these, they created a lot of different variations and I especially love the one that looks like Diana in the middle. Knock offs, just when I think I can’t love you more….
In 1975, Azrak Hamway International (AHI) was a toy company on the move producing mainly, low cost rack toys bearing such hot licenses at the time such as Batman, Spider-Man, the Universal Monsters and Star Trek.
