Rob Roy Superman Shirt (affiliate link) —

This is a pretty incredible design for the middle 1970s, I would have loved this as a kid.

“V” Visitors Van (affiliate link)-

While the V television series didn’t last a season in North America, it was a total smash south of the border. As a result, they got more toys, many of which were bootlegs produced locally. I want all of it.

AHI Batman Road Race set (eBay affiliate link)–

I actually owned this at one point and no, it didn’t work. I was left curious if one ever did work, it was pretty shoddy but also adorable.

Complete set of Corgi X-Ploratrons (affiliate link) —

X-Ploratrons was just one of many diecast science fiction lines from the late 1970s, I seemed to get one vehicle from each line and that was it. The Scanotron is on my desk as I type this next to my Shinsei Jeek Tunnelin. 

Toho Frankenstein and War of the Gagantuas Vinyls (affiliate link)–

I’m not sure if these are new or vintage, but wow, is this a big hug from my childhood! Both these movies left a real mark on me as a kid, in a good way as it made me curious about monster movies in general. I don’t collect vinyls (except when I do), and that Franky may find its way to me somehow…

Who loves you, baby?

Toy-Ventures this week looks at all the toys based on the TV show Kojak. Exactly why was there so much merchandise based on a tv show about a middle-aged detective that dealt with pimps? We get into that and talk about Power Records, Corgi toys and of course, action figures. So grab a lollipop and let’s talk about Kojak Toys!
