Matchbox MAC Commando Challenge (sponsored link)

Wow, this is a sealed set from 1975, everything in there perfect and unplayed with. I have a real soft spot for MAC, the pocket version of the GI Joe Adventure Team and this set is gorgeous.

Display box for the Imperial Grizzly Jigglers (sponsored link)

Hey it’s October and a lot of cool Horror and Monster toys come out, like this, a display box of Grizzly Jigglers. Grizzly is a late 70s “Jawsploitation” movie that looked like it was going to be a hit. As much as I love the merch and the entire genre of rip-offs, I find this movie just OK. I have friends who really love it however.

Takara Japan Gi Joe Wind-Up Machine Gun (Sponsored Link) —

What I don’t know about Takara and 12″ GI Joe could probably fill a warehouse. I’ve got no real head for military toys, but this wind-up machine gun playset is amazing. That is some really innovative thinking.

Six Million Dollar Man Jacket (Sponsored Link) –

If I had this as a kid, it would have made me look less weird when I ran around the playground in slow motion. I wasn’t imitating Steve Austin, I’ve got “Slow Motion Running Syndrome” according to my unbelievably scary grade six gym teacher.

Mattel Talking King Kong (sponsored link)–

I’ve always dug the Rankin-Bass King Kong cartoon that was spun out of the classic “King Kong Escapes.”  I had no idea Mattel made a doll of him and he comes with a tiny Bobby Bond! I just don’t know why they made him blue and yellow? That seems out there….

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

This week Toy-Ventures looks at Cyborg, a UK action figure line licensed to Denys Fisher by way of Japan. While it isn’t talked about enough, Cyborg was a spin-off of Hasbro’s GI Joe and eventually gave birth to such incredible toy icons as the Micronauts and Transformers. It’s a really interesting and beautiful line of toys that deserves all the attention it gets.

Check out our gallery of Denys Fisher Cyborg toys here:
