Enesco Frankenstein (sponsored link) –

I assume this is like a pocket protector but for monster kids. I applaud this.

The vast majority of Larami’s Battlestar Galactica toy line was labelled as generic toys, but I applaud this one for its Cylon-shaped parachutists.

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

The following article is from the June issue of Toys, Hobbies and Crafts and deals with toy retailer reaction to the cancellation of Battlestar Galactica’s television series on ABC.

NEW YORK – If the sales of licensed items carried as much  eight as ratings, “Battlestar Galactica” would return next fall. But that’s not the case, and ABC-TV will cancel the show after its summer re-runs.

However, Mattel and Monogram, who have capitalized on the show’s former success, are going ahead with plans to introduce and promote Battlestar Galactica merchandise. The two manufacturers are optimistic about the sales of their items this year because of a Battlestar Galactica theatrical release scheduled at presstime and the continued popularity-of the merchandise.

At press time, a Mattel spokesman told TH&C that a new merchandising program was being formulated for retailers, designed to spur buyers to continue carrying the Galactica product.

The program includes a provisional guarantee aimed at minimizing the retailers’ downside risk, said the company spokesman. Mattel is also planning to spend well over $1 million in advertising its Galactica products. The company also expects sales to be bolstered by an ABC-TV Galactica special in the fall as well as the movie, which, at presstime, was being shown in 400 U.S. theatres, the spokesman told TH&C.

But some retailers are less optimistic.

Several contacted by TH&C indicated that they were doubtful that Galactica merchandise would sell as well after the show’s cancellation and, as a result, are planning on cutting back their orders.

ABC made the decision to cut the show after ratings slipped this year.

Though the show has a 19. 9% ranking and a 30% share, and is rated 34th among regularly-scheduled prime-time shows, a spokesman for the network indicated that the high production costs of Battlestar Galactica were the main reasons for its cancellation. However, at this time there is an outside chance that NBC or CBS will buy the show. (Narrator: They didn’t)

Monogram introduced two new Galactica items at the Hobby Show and according to the company’s Jeff Jacobson it will go ahead with its production plans.”

“We look forward to the continued success of Battlestar Galactica merchandise through 1979,” he noted. “There are three basic reasons for this: “Our two 1978 Galactica items had phenomenal sales, and every kid who bought one of the items last year is a prime prospect this year. “

“The theatrical release was test marketed in the U.S. and Canada last summer and fall and had tremendous success. “And,” continued Jacobson, “just because a show like Battlestar Galactica is cancelled, it won’t stop the momentum of interest in the licensed products.”

Told of ABC’s decision, retailers were not convinced that the merchandise would be as successful as it was last year.

“Without the TV program, the Galactica merchandise may die,” said Bob Kuhns of Heck’s. “What will continue to sell it? I may have to cancel out on my orders of this line if no other network picked the show up in the near future.“

Dan Head of Target, however, was more optimistic. He sees Battlestar Galactica remaining a viable category in toys through the fall selling period.

Andy Anderson of Minneapolis based Toy King Distributors said that “the two Monogram models have done extremely well at retail. But I’m not sure about what will happen to them.”

“I have no choice but to cancel everything in the Galactica line with Mattel,” said Pamida’s Dale Thomas. “I haven’t been totally sold on the line anyway and have just been carrying the Mattel die-cast Galactica series. I have bought very little of the product and hope that I can sell through during the summer when re-runs continue.“

“I also believe this will make Star Wars merchandise more important. It will stand out more in the space category.” Said Gary Jackson of Sterling Stores, “We’ve seen dollars in Galactica toys, but if the show is cancelled, we’re going to very cautious. We’ve had good movement on it in the past. But it needs TV exposure every week.“

Here’s a UK article from the launch of BattleStar Galactica.

Larami toys went apesh*t on the Battle Star Galactica license but it was mainly label slapped rack toys. They did however sculpt this awesome Cylon bubble lid and kept using it long after Galactica left our airwaves…

Atomic Man outfit set (eBay Affiliate Link) —

For that brief window of time when Mike Power Atomic Man beat the officially licensed Kenner Bionic Man toys to market, Hasbro tried to pump up sales by rebranding some classic Joe outfits. This set, which will be expensive, is particularly troubling to me. As a kid I was obsessed with scuba diving, and this was, by far, the single most excellent toy I owned in kindergarton. I can’t afford this, can’t justify the expense but will watch it to the bitter end.

Gandalf Black Velvet portrait (affiliate Link) —

Wizards are most at home in Black Velvet paintings and on the sides of cool vans. It’s a proven fact.

Battlestar Galactica Cape (affiliate link) —

I know the Galactica Warriors actually did have capes, but it wasn’t made of “onesie” material.

Vintage kid’s Dr Zaius Shirt (eBay Affiliate Link) —

This is something I don’t see very often: a vintage Dr. Zaius shirt from 1974; as a kid, my dad drove the “Crazy David” van. So I grew up wearing stuff like this and it’s tough to pass this one up.

Batman Light Switch Covers (affiliate Link) 

I think these were made by Monogram (the model kit people), and they are a cousin to those awesome kitchen magnets. I used to have the Superman version of these. These are another item that straight sends me back to kindergarton; wow, this week has a theme, and I didn’t even notice.

BONUS AWESOME THING!

Imperial Toys Jaws Souviener (eBay Affiliate Link) ––

I’m gathering this PVC Jaws was sold at Universal Studios, but it was made by Imperial Toys, who wisely had the license for Jaws merch in the middle seventies. Jaws the Movie and Jaws the Ride are both equally beloved by me, and I want this too.

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 will notice” swappery can also be seen on the Remco Land of the Giants Space Sled (AKA Super Car) and  Fonzie’s Dream Rod.

Spider-Man Inflatable Kite (eBay link)

I miss goofy inflatable kits, this Spider-Man one seems to have the “webbing underarms” I seem to be obsessed with. Spider-Man seems naked without them !

Universal Stuidos tour from 1977 film (eBay Link) ––

I am obsessed with the Universal Studios tour, it’s where I went on my honeymoon. This preloaded home movie is a joy. I shouldn’t be surprised such things existed, but it was new to me. I am happy to say that you can watch this whole thing on YouTube for free, hooray!

Diener Monster Erasers (eBay Link)

Bless you Diener for making school supplies fun, these were a massive deal in grade school. I once had a whole store display of the Aliens but foolishly sold it.

Doc Savage promotional statue (eBay Link)

Speaking of selling regrets (or have we all just switched to “Regerts” now?) , I bought one of these promo statues in 1987 at a Toronto comic show for about 20 bucks. I love the Doc Savage movie and I was on a big reading kick of the novels at the time. In college, someone offered me 100 dollars for it, and I took it; it was too much to pass up. Seeing the price on this one made me realize I may never reunite with Doc. It’s still super bad ass and I’ll keep a space for it on my shelf.
