The Inter-Changables CEDM (sponsored link)

The Inter-Changables were made using the Micronauts tooling that was retained after Mego Corp folded. These rolled into town just as I was “Supposed” to stop caring about toys (didn’t stick), and it’s a whole “thing’ with me now. I stared at these things for almost 20 years, always finding an excuse, and now it’s as if none of them survived.

1979 Incredible Hulk Belt Buckle (sponsored link) —

I love goofing on vintage belt buckles, especially when they’re for characters not known for their fashion sense. Ol’ Purple Pants is what we like to call our “best case scenario” on the “Goof-O-Meter” I built for my 7th-grade science fair. Yeah, I failed. Why do you ask?

The Remco Power Shield Captain America art slide (sponsored link) —

This isn’t original art per se, but it is something the Studio likely used to sell their services. I don’t collect the Remco Powerized Superheroes, but this is still one of my favourite Superheroes…

A display box of Imperial Godzillas (sponsored link)

At my most recent panel about Monster Toys, I made a statement about the Imperial Godzilla most likely being bootlegged forever. I couldn’t cite a reference at the time, but I sure would have bet money on it. This thing proves me right, thankfully, and this one isn’t even tryin’.

Condorman promotional mask (sponsored link) —

As a kid, I really wanted Condorman to be a movie like Superman, where the hero was taken seriously. Nope, it was mainly a spy spoof that the world didn’t order. I never totally got over that, so I mostly lament the ice cream flavour.  It’s also kind of weird how this mask has an “Eyes Wide Shut” vibe going on. That mask might prove a bit of a distraction at an orgy…

Arco “V” bop bag (sponsored link) —

When you’ve been collecting for a while, there are certain collectibles that you’ve wanted, but at one point, were so cheap and plentiful, you figured you’d get to them. Then, when you circle back, they’re “Rare” and “Hot right now,” and even though you understand the supply and demand aspect of the hobby, somehow you can’t get past the bias of “those used to be everywhere!” Yeah, this thing. I’ve always wanted it but I’d see them everywhere in the 90s, which seemed closer than it is…..

1980s Frankenstein Iron-On shirt (sponsored link) —

My friend Courtney sent me this, and zooming on the image, I could smell this thing hot off the press. That tiny magical flashback warrants inclusion but also it’s Frankenstein, Universal Monsters and has glitter, fun!

FunStuf Captain America Shield Shooter (sponsored link) —

This toy is just a “label slap” on the Spider-Man Web-shooter toy that FunStuff also had success with. I wanted this so bad as a kid thanks to Heroes World. What always bugger me was that I couldn’t buy Cap’s shield, even Remco didn’t do one….

Star Trek Sleeping Bag (sponsored link) —

It’s late as I type this, but I’m positive that “Slip inside my Star Trek Sleeping Bag!” is the line that will guarantee a lifetime of virginity. Use it wisely…

Doc Savage Movie Puzzle featuring Ron Ely (sponsored link)—

Those who know this site likely may understand how unapologetically I love this movie. It didn’t get a lot of merch, so when I found this in a variety store in Port Perry, I had to have it. This purchase perplexed my son, he couldn’t understand why I’d want a puzzle of a shirtless guy with a “creepy stare” (his words, not mine.) This became a running gag of making sure it was out in the open when he had friends over or just randomly leaving it in the hall outside his room. I should sneak it into his apartment….

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

Samurai Playset (sponsored link) —

This wonderful set of (cheap) Action figures is neither a play set nor are they Samurai, at least from my limited understanding of Japanese history. However, if someone hasn’t made a movie called “Samurai Ninja,” it’s the greatest missed opportunity next to the plaza in my town on “420 Green St” that does not have a pot store. 

Star Wars Action Transfers by Letra Set (sponsored link)—

Here we got Presto Magix, which was incredible but in the UK, they got Letraset Action Transfers, which is like adding cheese and bacon to the combo. I am obsessed with these sets and didn’t even realize they had the Star Wars license, I need to go look at all of them. If they did a cantina one, I might explode into a blast of confetti & dog poo bags.

Arco Ghost Light Pen (sponsored link) 

I’ve never noticed this item before, which surprises me, and I will now watch for it. It’s just pushing all my inner kid buttons.

Fleetwood Marvel Superheroes (sponsored link) —

So, if you’re looking at this and saying “That’s a Marx figure that a little kid painted,” I would respond with “You’re Right but also wrong.”

The Marx Marvel Statuettes were reissued by Fleetwood Toys in 1976. They are slightly smaller than their Marx counterparts and factory-painted. One of my first toy deals in the 1980s was with a guy (still on my friend’s list) who sold me his set of these, I wish I had kept them. They just cast Daredevil in red and painted his mouth.

Anyway, these do not pop up a lot, save for Spider-Man who was also issued in a grooming set(!) around the same time.

The seller has the figures listed individually, so the link sends you to his page.

Knickerbocker Sesame Street Talking Count doll (sponsored link) 

My friend Courteny sent me this, and my “I wonder what it says?” joke did not land, so I’m putting it out there now *makes that “ta-dah” gesture with his hands*.

Also, I love the Count, which is in the same context as Kung Fu movies and breakfast foods. I have his back!

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

I remember this wave of Marvel figures being a big deal then. Collectors hadn’t seen Marvel action figures since Secret Wars a few years earlier and this felt like a drought was over. Since then, I don’t think we’ve had a single year where Marvel characters didn’t get action figures. 

Marvel’s licensing department was in fine form for this year with relationships with many companies that are sadly no longer.

Here’s that ToyFair list stitched together.

I will admit to being really excited about that Captain America film. Even when I saw a bootleg copy of it in ’91, I still thought it had merit. Apparently there is a different cut to this that director Albert Pyun championed. I hope I can see that version. 

I bought this mainly because of the costumed character photos for my still unfinished book Mall of Justice.

If you have photos and stories like these, send ’em on down!

Dracula Super 8 film (affiliate link) —

My friend Courteney sent me this and I dig that Dracula is a swipe of the Aurora model kit. Such things were more common in the pre-style guide Wild West.

Glasslite Street Hawk figure from Brazil (eBay Link) —

I talked about Kenner’s plan for Street Hawk a while back, but Glasslite of Brazil got it done, and it’s pretty awesome! I don’t have the cash for this lot but wow, it’s pretty neat.

Captain America Cosmic Ray Light Gun (affiliate Link) —

Every kid knows that Captain America is nothing without his Cosmic Ray Light Gun with the dodgy AA battery!

Dr. Pepper/Welcome Back Kotter shirt (affiliate link) —-

I’ve never heard of this weird cross promotion between the Sweathogs and Dr. Pepper! I love the art on this. Also Lawrence Hilton Jacobs is an underrated actor IMHO.

Krofft Super Show Chalk Board (Affiliate Link) 

I have such a strong bond with the Krofft Supershow especially the season of  Wonderbug, Dr. Shrinker and Electra Woman and Dynagirl. I’d really like to own this but I can’t display it.

Universal Studios Hulk Postcard

My lifelong obsession with this tour is justified when I see a postcard featuring a “Fake Ferrigno” and Frankenstein in one shot. 

Captain America Shield Shooter (sponsored link) 

Funstuf had a lot of success with the Spider-Man web shooter and spun it off to Cap and Hulk (his was a fist.) Kid’s toys should be devoid of logic, the less logic, the more fun in my eyes. 

Vintage Dimestore Dinosaur Display Box (affiliate link) —

Man, this is the kind of thing I could not avoid as a kid. I’m still drawn to such things but this is awesome artwork and features my favourite Dino, Triceratops! Raptor, Schmaptor….

Lili Ledy GI Joe Adventurer (Affiliate Link) —

I have a 30-year obsession with toys produced in Mexico, and this is one of my “top five” wants: a boxed Lili Ledy “Aventuro de Accione.” I’m not fussy on if it’s Land, Sea or Air, I will get one someday. This one kills me, but I don’t have the dosh to make an offer.

Super Gorilla Bootleg Kong Figure (Affiliate Link) —

I featured Dinosaurs, so I have to give equal time to giant apes. It’s a law that I think came to me in a dream. I can’t tell you how much I love bootleg Kongs, both in film and toy form. I love them more than licensed ones. This one has a super cool header card that looks nicked from somewhere else, and I’m pretty sure this sculpt began life as a licensed Japanese Kong toy. BLISS, I TELL YOU!

Spider-Man and Captain America Richochet Racers (eBay Link) —

I’ve never owned these toys but have always been obsessed with them since I saw them at my friend Richard’s House. None of it makes sense and none of it has to, I always loved the comic book ad for this, it also makes zero sense, even to a kid.

AHI Planet of the Apes Zing Wing

AHI Planet of the Apes Zing Wing (eBay Link) —

AHI Sold a lot of Zing-Wings based on pop culture, like Star Trek and Spider-Man. The word “Frisbee” was the one we all used but all the other toy companies had to make up their own word. 

Tomland Bionic Woman Knock Off (eBay Link) —

For those not in the know, Tomland Toys was a company not exactly all that concerned about lawsuits. Case in point, they produced the second most galling copyright theft next to “Mr. Rock” by Lincoln International. “Sonic Woman” was a Bionic Woman clone. She wears a red track suit and has two silver limbs. I love her. 

Here is our Sonic Man and Woman episode of Toy-Ventures in case you missed it.

Bootleg Carnival Plush C3-PO (eBay Link) —

I don’t have words. I’m not a big Star Wars guy, but I am a fan of bootlegs and Carnivals (and, as an aside, Corndogs), so as Khan said, “It Tasks Me!” But I’m probably going to forget about it.

Fireball XL-5 Paper Dolls (eBay Link) —

I’m too young for Gerry Anderson’s Fireball X-L5, but I admire its mid-century “retro-future” charm. It’s so delightful. I know the entire theme tune and love seeing the detail in the merchandise. Lovely stuff but I don’t really know the series all that well.

Milton Brady Pink Lady (Minus Jeff) Boardgame (eBay Link) —

“Pink Lady” were a Japanese sensation before they got their variety series in the US. What blows my mind more here is not that they got a game but that Milton Bradley was also doing board games in Japan? I learned today! I deserve a reward of some kind!

Mego Klingon Card Variant (eBay Link) —

I guess for a brief time in the UK, Palitoy ran out of Klingon Cards and just created this jazzy sticker to go over it. Just a running change in a company’s day-to-day problem solving, now an insane adult collectible. I won’t make fun; I love this sort of thing, and the Mego Klingon is a brilliant action figure.

The post 7 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Original Mattel Pulsar commercial Reel (eBay Link)\

Normally I’d buy this piece of history and transfer it but it’s been a pricey week and I’ve already bought three reels. The seller also has the Kenner Maskatron commercial reel as well.

Mego Elastic Superman (eBay link)–

I think these things are both dumb and awesome. I mean a stretchable Superman may make sense for a Red Kryptonite story but not for a toy. Another thing is these toys were simply not made to last people. It’s like buying something that will break your heart.

Sorry that got melancholy, i tragically lost my Supes to leakage a few years back….

Larami Captain America Pistol Rack Toy (eBay Link)–

I featured this in Rack Toys but I’m working on a presentation about weird Superhero merchandise and this one is a favourite. Cap is packing a Luger, a cover swipe from Captain America 164, and the company whitewashed Night Shade!

70s Shazam marvel Family T-Shirt (eBay Link)

I am always surprised when I look through 70s clothing; there is always a t-shirt or pyjama top that I’ve seen before. Case in point: this awesome Robb Roy shirt of the Marvel Family fighting mythical beasts.

Hasbro Wonder Woman board game (eBay Link) —

Hasbro made three different Wonder Woman board games over ten years; this is the “middle child” landing in 1974. It’s the one I’ve seen the least, and I dig its funky off-model artwork.
