Lakeside Monster Writer (sponsored link)

I wonder if there is a collection of novelty monster pens like this somewhere. I’d go for stuff like this but get disappointed in the pen running out like a day later. I was one of those kids that didn’t like blank pages much….

KISS Watercolour Paints (sponsored link)-

This is a bit of vintage KISS merch I’d never seen before. This is probably because it’s an Australian item made by “Rockin’ Roo Products” which really hits home where it’s from. Excuse me now, I’m going to start a company called “Boppin’ Beaver”

GI Joe Adventure Team Halloween Costume (sponsored link) —

As much as I’m a super fanboy of the Adventure Team era, I have never purchased a Halloween Costume. I drool over the Mike Power and Super Joe ones, which are relatively rare, this guy is not as expensive and is pretty darn cool.

Tarzan Birthday Party Supplies (sponsored link) —

“Tarzan Birthday Party” was the name of my ill-fated improv group in college. Also, never start an improv group at a business school. Seeing as how much I was drawn to the Filmation Tarzan series, I’d have really welcomed this for my 6th birthday.

A Skull Full of Snakes by Arco Toys (sponsored link) —

I enjoy the “Ron Swanson-esque” honesty in this toy’s name; it says what it is, plainly and truly, requiring no further explanation. Seriously, the second blurb should be “Contents: Reread the title son.”

The post Toy-Ventures: Micronauts Merchandise appeared first on PS.

Big Jim Dr. Bushido (sponsored link) —

Big Jim’s European Adventures in the 1980s felt a lot like it was mimicking 80s Italian cinema with its spy and science fiction mashups. Take Jim’s futuristic enemy, Dr. Bushido, who has this new wave “Ming the Merciless” thing going on, combined with a freaking glow-in-the-dark samurai sword! He looks like an extra from the unfilmed “Yor: The Hunter from the Future” sequel. Now, all we need is a soundtrack from Goblin!

Glasslite Blue Thunder Frank Action Figure (sponsored link)

Glasslite of Brazil is one of my favourite foreign toy makers, and I’m sure I only appreciate a 10th of their output.  These Blue Thunder action figures are something different from the Multi-Toys versions in the US. This Frank Chaney doesn’t resemble James Farentino, but the card art certainly bears a resemblance to Roy Scheider!

A sealed can of Mattel Slime (sponsored link) —

Wow, a true 1970s legend is sealed in there or is it? If you purchase this item, not only do you get a classic toy, but also a thought experiment in quantum mechanics. Is there still slime in there, or is it something else? This is Schroedinger’s Slime.

Gatchaman Japanese Pop-Up Book (sponsored link)

How did this excellent book escape my gaze? As some may know, I met my wife because of this cartoon, and hey, that really worked out, so I truly love the merchandise. I’m always a fan of stuff that features a lot of Zoltar and also the insides are gorgeous!

I mean, will you drink this in? It’s wonderful!

Micronauts BioTron Ben Cooper Halloween Costume (sponsored link)

I’m currently working on a Toy-Ventures episode about the amazing Micronauts merchandise not made by Mego. These Ben Cooper costumes are part of that discussion and SO up my alley. You’d think I’d own this, but no, I’ve never had that moment. 

BONUS ITEM!

Rarer AHI Mr Spock Bop Bag sold at Pool Stores (sponsored link) —

So AHI (Azrak-Hamway Inc) was famous for Rack Toys like the Mr. Spock Bop Bag (which is my doorstop here at the office) they also had a thriving pool toys business. This version of the Bop bag has a different design and is sold in a large baggie.

Hal Needham Stuntman Playset by Gabriel Toys (sponsored link)

This is a truly innovative toy concept from the mid-1970s, a doll based on the legendary stuntman Hal Needham. This allowed kids to do real stunt work. Obviously, this set saw some play, as Hal’s head came off, which is probably not something that happened to the real guy.

The Mighty Hercules Book and Record set from Japan (Sponsored Link) 

As a Canadian kid, I thrilled to the Adventures of the Mighty Hercules and his idiot sidekick, Newton, his idiot sidekick, Newton.  (if you get that joke you are cool) I am blown away that this show had any popularity in Japan but now this is all I can think of.

Spider-Man Super Klobbers by AHI (sponsored link)

I’m not surprised that AHI chose to rip off Socker Boppers; they sold a lot of inflatable toys and well, they had the Spider-Man license. What’s surprising is how rare these are, I guess they did not take off.

Big Jim Cipsa Kid Acero Lobomovil (sponsored link) 

This vehicle was known as “The Beast” in the USA and was the first vehicle available for the P.A.C.K toys, mainly because it’s a repainted Camper. In Mexico, they didn’t have the same characters so they drew over the (GLORIOUS!) Jack Kirby’s art and turned them into bad Guy Garfio and Good guy Hombe Bionico. I love this so much but this freaking thing is such a space killer. Ugh, this is going to bug me….

Oh God, I just realized Hombre Invisible was added! Agggghhhh I have no money!

Tootsie Toys S.W.A.T set (sponsored link) —

SWAT much like sharks and dinosaurs are public domain concepts, so Tootsie Toy whipped up this set to catch the heat from the TV program. It probably worked, I have a Tootsie Toy Catalogue on the site here if you want to check it out.

Deiner Kung Fu Masters Bendies (sponsored link) —

Speaking of generic terms, Kung Fu was also one of those things. I love these guys. They look like Caine and Master Po and they will be mine someday.

Grape Ape Plush (sponsored link) –

I regularly watched Grape Ape as a kid, although I can’t remember much of it, it’s cool to see he got some merch in the 80s.

Ben Cooper Spider-Man Poncho (sponsored link) —

In the 3rd grade, my mum bought me a Sesame Street poncho, not realizing that the peer pressure at that time was to listen to KISS and pretend you’d seen “Alien”. I was so embarrassed and would have killed for a Spider-Man.

Blade Runner UK Annual (sponsored link) 

As much as I love UK annuals, this one would be a hard purchase for me. It’s the same Marvel Comics adaptation I spent all of my Summer Money on when I was 11. I was expecting it to be a cool space movie, it is not. I never got over that, and while I think the film is visually striking, it’s not my thing.

Kojak action figure in mailer box (affiliate link) –

As much as I chuckled at this figure as a kid and it was a lot, I love this mailer box “Catalog Version” of the figure complete with a trenchcoat and a bull horn, that’s just good value.

Sears Bug Bunny Radio (affiliate link) —

I’m going to assume this was likely produced by Vanity Fair for Sears but it’s pretty ingenious, thanks to the carrot microphone. What can I say, kids like to be loud and that never changes.

Raggedy Anne and Andy Executive Set (affiliate link) —

I’ve never understood why any kid needed an executive desk set; even as an executive, I never had one of these. I would have liked a Planet of the Apes one personally….

Ben Cooper King Kong Costume (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Speaking of Apes, I can’t believe for the life of me that I’ve never owned a gorilla suit, it’s probably because ones like this are for people less than six feet tall. Lucky medium-sized people…..*kicks can*

FunDimensions Werewolf Model Kit (affiliate link) —

These kits came out in the middle seventies from Fundimensions and included a Mummy and a Vampire, nobody ever talks about these but they’re really well designed and original.

Ben Cooper Dr. Strange Halloween Costume (eBay Affiliate Link) __

Doctor Strange got some merch in the late 1970s and early 1980s, likely due to his 1978 CBS TV movie that did not go to series. The Ben Cooper merch (including the Jigger) has this weirdly angry face for some reason. I think it works, but I have always pictured the character as a cool cucumber.

\

Milton Bradley Micronauts Board Game (SPONSORED LINK)-

Someone posted this in the PodStallions group and it serves as a reminder as to how much I want a copy of this. It’s part board game and part Amsco Adventure set. 

The Shadow Bagatelle Game (affiliate link) —

The middle 70s explosion of Shadow Merchandise, primarily from the Toymaker/Pharmaceutical company “Madison Industries,” is one that perplexes me. However, the toys also are really cool, so it evens out.

Here is a recent episode of Toy-Ventures about the Madison Imports Shadow merch.

Child Guidance Kentucky Fried Chicken Playset (affiliate link) —

I can barely get to eat the Col.’s chicken anymore but wow, such happy memories of it as a kid. If anybody has that little Col. for sale? I am your new best friend. I’m also in the market for some Grecian bread.

Popy Jumbo Machinders Catalog (affiliate link) —

As a toy catalog collector for the last 40 years, this one is tasking me. I’m not immune to Shogun Warriors and well, I really can’t afford to go the “Machinder route.”

ShockTober at PlaidsStallions all October

It’s October, and that means it’s “ShockTober” at Plaid Stallions. We’ll be posting Halloween and monster-related items all month, including toys, rare advertisements, videos, and, of course, two horror-themed episodes of Pod Stallions.

To kick things off, I present my latest pick, the King Kong Jiggler by Ben Cooper. I don’t know what it is about the 1976 Kong Poster, but it just gets to me—way more than the actual film itself! Seeing that little rubber jet in his hand just sent my brain into “Buy It Now” mode before I knew what hit me. I also will admit that its price was a winning factor.

Look for a new ShockTober post every day this month!

Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers with the Hulk

I was jazzed to find this wonderful trade advert for the Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers (their word was Wiggly but . Ben Cooper made these floppy figures for the better part of a decade and then they were bootlegged for another 10-15 years!

It was a good way to keep Ben Cooper products on store shelves year-round; Rubber bat sales really plummeted by November. 

Joining this assortment is the Incredible Hulk, whose TV Stardom made him an A-Lister in the Superhero Merchandise game. Like the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes Hulk figure, the Hulk’s ample frame wasn’t cost-effective, so he’s considerably shorter than the other characters. Not that any of them can stand. 

Superhero Jigglers Catalog page from the 1980 Ben Cooper Catalog

Ben Cooper tried to expand the selection of Superheroes but made some interesting choices, including The Thing, Doctor Strange and the Red Skull. The Thing and Doctor Strange had some TV appearances but I’ve never understood the Red Skull. Although I am grateful, that someone made a Red Skull toy!

This page is from the 1981 Ben Cooper Catalog, you can see more here:
