Psst: These links are sponsored; if you click 20 times, I get a Ritz cracker! Atomic Man outfit set (eBay Affiliate Link) — For that brief window of time when Mike Power Atomic Man […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Battlestar Galactica Vertibird (eBay Link) — Okay, so technically, this isn’t a Battlestar Galactica toy, but it totally is. Mattel pulled a little label-slap action (something that is VERY Mattel) swapping BSG (which I assume aired in Italy?) with the very popular Mazinga Z television series. Such “nobody […]
Toy-Ventures returns with a dream find of vintage toys as we recently were asked to look at a childhood toy collection that nobody wanted. What we found was a treasure trove of Kenner Star Wars, Fisher Price Adventure People, Mego Buck Rogers and so much more! Watch Toy-Ventures on YouTube here
Toy-Ventures: Bigfoot Sighting at Vintage Toy Show! Nothing starts a year better than a Vintage Toy Hunt! Toy-Ventures returns with a recap of Ontario Collector Con, including Action Force, Star Wars, McDonald’s, GoDaikin and Kenner Six Million Dollar Man. As usual, I did something irresponsible. Come and toy hunt with me and the boy! […]
Another Pod Stallions video short; this time, J & B check out the new fall TV season for 1978. WKRP! Taxi! Battlestar Galactica and a pile of shows you’ve probably never seen or remember. We also check out some “youth-orientated shows” from the 1970s, like Delta House. Join our weekly newsletter. The Super […]
Bigfoot and Wildboy Puzzle (eBay Link) – I am very predilected with the Krofft shows; this one is one of their more bizarre concepts. I guess Bigfoot adopted a lost kid and now they stop alien invasions in the woods. Also Bigfoot is clearly meant to be Bionic. I can see why I dug it […]

Darran Hight, AKA Doc Multiverse, created our striking cover. Toy-Ventures Issue 8 has the most articles we’ve ever included, and we’re adding two of […]
Yes, it’s the never asked for, long-awaited Pod Stallions episode all about SCI-FI WEAPONRY! From Buck & Flash to Scarlet & Koenig right past Kirk, Han, Luke, Pizer, and Logan right back to Flash again. We chat about the sleekest designs, the best sounds, and the damage done by the all-time coolest weapons in Sci-fi […]
Poster and marker sets were one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon as a kid (cause that’s about how long the markers would last). Craftmaster had all the best licenses in the late 70s which included Star Wars and arch-rival Battlestar Galactica, Super hunk John Travolta, Fantasy Island, and the Love Boat. These […]
Following the blitz of Star Wars, a lot of previously unknown companies began cashing in on what the toy industry called the “Sci-Fi craze” of the late 70s. These toys were often lower-priced generic toys that likely offered better margins for the toy retailer. Kingsford’s line of Star Force toys is one of those lines […]
