Filmation Web Woman Costume (sponsored link) —

Filmation’s “Tarzan and the Super 7” Saturday Morning series with its homespun superheroes left a mark on me that won’t go away. 

Web Woman was my favourite of the lot, but I liked all the shows and still do. This is a cool item that I proudly own and got my daughter to model many moons ago.

Shindana Marla Gibbs Doll (sponsored link) —

Shindana was a Los Angeles-based toy company that focused on people of colour and had a great deal of success for a few years. They licensed Jimmy Walker, Redd Foxx and Dr. J just to name a few. Marla Gibbs’s sassy maid Florence was the breakout character from “the Jeffersons” so Shindana shored up her likeness rights.

I wonder if in an alternative universe, children don’t play with Superheroes, but with Sitcom Housekeepers. Imagine the lineup of figures, Mr. French, Uncle Charlie, Alice and the GOAT Mr. Belvedere! 

Colin Baker Era Doctor Who Daleks Puzzle (sponsored link) 

The Colin Baker era of Doctor Who is where I took my first of many breaks watching the show. It was too loud, too camp and too gruesome for me. I wasn’t mad about it, I just spent my time looking for new series to enjoy and found them. I eventually wandered back during the McCoy years, where it ultimately roped me back into the series.

Having said all that, I think this is one of the best bits of merch from the JNT era; it’s a gorgeous puzzle with great art. Additionally, I later on briefly met Colin Baker in an elevator, and he was a really likable guy. 

Arco the Other World Gift Set (sponsored link) —

The Other World came out in the post-MOTU toy scene and was one of the more imaginative copycats. All of the characters are bendable and have an adorable design quality to them. I remember being smitten with the line at Woolco back in ’84, but I’ve never collected them.

The Archies Snare Drum (sponsored link) —

Despite his longevity at the checkout aisle, Archie has never really had a lot of hit toys. This snare drum is something likely inspired by the Filmation cartoon at the time, and the box is spectacular.

Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures Magazine will feature the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalogue, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.

Palitoy Talking Dalek- PlaidStallions

June 1984:

I’m 13 and have just graduated the eighth grade, it was a good year for me, lots of friends, lots of experiences. At this time I’m a Doctor Who junky and that love is mainly for the early 70s version of the show. I grew up on the Pertwee and Baker eras on TVO.

I see an ad in Starlog that reads, “Palitoy Talking Dalek Toys from 1975: Red or Silver $25 each plus shipping, send SASE blah blah blah.” Although I’m not entirely sure what Palitoy was or what the toy might be, it sounded essential.

Palitoy 1976 Catalogue

Getting a US money order in Canada was once kind of a pain in the butt. In 1977, I presented my parents with a completed “Heroes World” ad for the Mego Fantastic Four, along with all my Christmas money. They told me I’d have to go to both the bank and the post office, and I believe fighting a giant spider was involved; it’s been a while. My father promised to take me to his friends at Parkdale Novelty and find the Fantastic Four. That sadly never happened.

Undaunted by this past obstacle, I went to the bank on my own and discovered it had changed for the US; I obtained a US money order. I believe the whole endeavour cost me the entirety of my $40 graduation money. I threw it in the mailbox in front of the same”Checkers Variety” I would later work at, and played the waiting game.

Did I say waiting game? I meant the summer of total anxiety. I checked my mailbox every day, probably way too soon, but this was the most significant purchase I’d make on my own that year. I also had never done this before!

Weeks stretched into months; I even wrote the seller more than once, asking what was going on, but I never heard back.

Sometime in August, full of Catholic guilt,  I confessed what had transpired to my mother. I got the “Don’t tell your father” that I’m sure is familiar. I think I made peace with it around Labour Day evening. I thought to myself, “I got ripped off, it happens, let it go.”

The next day, I attended the first day of ninth grade in a weird public school. My main takeaway is that some shop kid wearing a Judas Priest headband called my Peter Gabriel concert shirt “Gay,” which still makes me chuckle.

I headed home to find a box; it was the talking Dalek. The ad was legit, the seller honest but maybe kind of a lazy shipper? It was better than I had hoped; I loved the awesome box graphics, the toy itself and the fact that it said “Exterminate” over and over again.

Of course I ordered the red one! 

This single toy’s arrival led to 4 decades of making crazy toy purchases, learning about the industry and meeting and making friends with some of the coolest people in the world.

Had it not arrived? I’d probably collect something. I’d likely have a lot more money in the bank, but I’d also probably be no richer.

Palitoy, Talking Dalek, Doctor Who, Starlog, PlaidStallions, Vintage Toys, Daleks,

The post Palitoy Talking Dalek: My toy collector origin story appeared first on PS.

Disclaimer: links are sponsored and also haunted….

Great Space Coaster Video Disk (sponsored link) —

This show came on before “Star Blazers” when I was a kid, so I watched it a lot even though it was aimed at a younger audience. It gave me a life long love of “La Linea.” Also, video disks like these make great wall decor, I have Planet of the Apes!

Doctor Who and Daleks handheld game (sponsored link)—

OK, I’m kind of PO’d that there was a Doctor Who handheld game released when I was in college (when I would have cared) and I didn’t find out about it until my vision sucks? Aggghhhhhhh!

P.S. I love the ’90s card art in its airbrushed glory.

Spanish Lost in Space Sticker Book (sponsored link) —

I’m a big fan of Lost in Space, but I also love sticker books. As a kid, I even did the hockey ones because of…. sticker books! I also sell them now. Form your own conclusions; I don’t have any.

Argus Batman Viewer (sponsored link)—

I’ve NEVER seen this before! It’s really cool and features the 40s Batman serials. I saw those at the Bloor cinema way back in the 1980s, my date and I had a blast, see those with a crowd.

Black Velvet Rambo (sponsored link) —

There will be no description, what part of “Black Velvet Rambo” leaves you wanting more? Unless I discover a Black Velvet Col. Sanders, I declare this the greatest painting ever. Art can just stop now, we’re done. 

Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures Magazine will feature the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalogue, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.

Special thanks to my friend Courtney who found all these treasures while I was sick.

Tara Toys Space City Playset (sponsored link) 

That some awesome packaging art and it just gets better after that because it’s filled with Timee Toys Galaxy Laser Team figures, hooray!

Hank Williams Jr Black Velvet portrait (sponsored link)

I want this, I don’t know a damned thing about the man. I want to walk by it daily and gently whisper, “I am not yet ready for some football.”

Little Creepies Monster Game (sponsored link)

I’ve never seen a monster board game from 1974, and groovy art is involved. Will wonders ever cease?

Popy World Heroes Ultraman family (sponsored link) —

For those not in the know, these were Popy Japan’s attempts to create another line in scale with Kenner Star Wars (which they also sold in Japan), using Japanese heroes like Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and the 5 Man series.

I got heavily into these about a decade back. It was a really positive experience working with other collectors to buy lots. I wish there were more for me to collect.

Check out my video about the line here:

Vintage Tom Baker Doctor Who Shirt (sponsored link) —

I really wish I could figure out how to display something like this. That art is incredible and just reminds me of being 7 years old.

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

These links are sponsored and eBay requires me to tell you that. If you click on all of them, then I get one a “grit magazine” level prize. They make me say all of this.

Interchangables CEDM (Sponsored Link)

After Mego closed down, Marty and Howie Abrams launched “Hour Toy” and used the Micronauts toy molds to create “the Interchangables” which were funky Micronauts for lack of a better world.

Interchangables is an 80s toy line that haunted me like Bugmen of Insecta or the Mini Godaikin. When they opened, they stormed my local TRU, sat there for a decade, and then disappeared. I actually ran into some at a Toys R Us in 2004. Now, I kind of want to collect them but never see them. Ever. Where the heck did they all go?

AHI Space:1999 Stun Water Gun (Sponsored Link)

This squirt gun was one of my favourite toys of childhood. Say what you will of me, but I identify with Martin Landau. I could whip this out of my pocket accompanied by that high-pitched second-season whistle like a pro. BTW the oddball colours are rare with AHI stuff, I have a powder blue phaser that looks like a Mego phaser. I’ve heard it referred to as “Test Plastic,’ but I think it’s just the factory dealing with some runoff.

AHI Mr Spock Bop Bag (Sponsored Link)

This item, and I mean this VERY ITEM, is the subject of the first Toy-Ventures Magazine correction. When we did our AHI salute in issue 1, we missed this, the first version made for the AHI pool toy side. It’s larger, has different artwork, and so necessary; I mean, who doesn’t want to smack the smug off Nimoy’s face?  

Vintage Child’s StarCrash T-Shirt (Sponsored Link) 

I am shocked to find out that the classic Star Wars rip-off “Star Crash” got merchandise. I mean, I expect action figures, but finding out Stella Star graces a series of children’s shirts in the 1970s is kind of mind-blowing. Like I feel I’m in another reality right now. People don’t ride blimps here do they?

Dr. Who and the Daleks VHS poster (sponsored eBay Link) —

I had this poster and I just recently found out, it is no longer in my possession. That bothers me, not because it’s gorgeous (although that isn’t lost on me) but moreover because of where I got it.

This was the mid-1980s in nowhere Ontario, and I found a Dr. Who poster for fifty cents in a video store that likely closed 3 months later in downtown Whitby. That meant the world to me then, that there were bigger things out there. Also, I got to call the other members of my meager “Elitingville Club” and taunt them with my good fortune. Good times!

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

A Man called Sloane Crew Jacket (eBay Link) —

As listeners of our Podcast might know, I am obsessed with the TV series “A Man Called Sloan.” It was a late 70s spy series that had some camp value, very much like Buck Rogers. I really want this but I’m not sure what I’d do with it. I certainly couldn’t wear it as it doesn’t come in “extra long torso.”

King Kong Black Light Poster (eBay Link)––

My friend Courtney sent me this and it’s just another thing I adore but can’t display. It would look stellar though.

Burger King Hangers (eBay Link) –

I had to giggle at these; I’m not sure why they thought kids would want hangers for their room, especially one featuring the Duke of Doubt. The Duke was/is terrifying, probably why they phased him out. But seriously? Hangers? Why not a lint brush? Pocket protector? This is the fast food equiviliant of those sweaters my aunt bought me for the entirety of the 1980s. I got a powder blue V-neck for a decade; I’ve never said “You really shouldn’t have” with more meaning in my life.

Planet of the Apes Silly Soap (eBay Link) —

I used to own this, but it started seeping out like this, and well, I have seen far too many horror movies to keep it. 

Berwick Toys Dalek Playsuit (eBay Link) –

It’s Doctor Who’s 60th so I thought we’d feature a classic bit of merch. I don’t usually collect 60s toys as it’s before my era but there is something about 60s Daleks….

Archer: Fugitive from the Empire Poster: I may be the only person who fondly remembers this busted TV pilot from 1981 but I guess they actually sold this as a movie to Europeans. I haven’t seen it since the early 90s but i remember digging it. Watch the whole movie on Youtube, hooray!

Six Million Dollar Man Tracksuit- Ok this listing has ended but this was the same (but THE one) track suit worn by Steve Austin. If this weren’t totally too small for me, it would have been mine ! I run at slow motion already, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT!

War of the Daleks Board Game- When i was a teenager i found a copy of this at a mall toystore, what the hell was a ten year old British boardgame doing in a “Toys and Wheels” store in Pickering, Ontario? I never found out and stupidly sold it in college, I still have one of the toy Daleks somewhere…

We’re back and we’re launching our first episode of 2015 resurrecting the Retro Awards.

For those not familiar with the Retro Awards, it’s a celebration of things that came out in the last year (for this show we’ve slid into 2013 a l’il bit) that we feel rocked a 70s vibe.

Of course along the way we get terribly sidetracked and discuss the Hudson brothers, Planet of the Apes, Doctor Who annuals, Herve Villechez and Tim Burton’s Batman. Surprising we’re still better at hosting awards shows than James Franco…

TOTALLY TRUE STORY: When i was 15 years old I found a copy of this game at a “Toys and Wheels” store at the mall in Canada. I don’t know how it got there but this store used to buy a lot of close out stock like Action Jackson uniforms and the like so maybe it was a sample.
