Denys Fisher Android I picked up this wonderful boxed Android from the Densy Fisher Cyborg Line at last summer’s PowerCon. It was a trade with my long-time and trusted friend Mark Huckabone, so I had never thought of opening it until today. I got a real treat inside as the figure is C10 unused […]
Martin Landau’s collection of Space:1999 toys– OK, I don’t what kind of pedigree you need but these are Martin Freaking Landau’s collection of Space:1999 toys. I have a book from Landau’s collection and it’s something I will always keep. I can’t tell you how cool it would be to own Commander Koenig’s Eagles but you […]
Sometimes I buy Monster toys and then totally forget about them in October, case in point this set. A wonderful “do it yourself” craft set from the UK that includes Frankenstein, the Wolfman and Dracula (the Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry of the monster world). What’s that you ask? Can we look inside Brain? Your wish […]
The Skull Machine sounds more like a Ted V Mikels film than it does a toy but it’s actually quite a neat concept from Deny Fisher UK (inventors of the Spirograph). Basically it’s a child’s first look at rotational molding, as the machine allows kids to make three different kinds of heads they can then […]
In 1977, the British Distributor of Kenner toys Denys Fisher, produced an 18″ tall version of Jaime Sommers and marketed more like a fashion doll. Pity they didn’t do a Steve as well. These little foreign variants are what drew me into toy collecting in the first place, I loved discovering what’s out there and […]
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 […]
Not enough props can go out to what I think is the UK’s better kept secrets, originally a Japanese line called “Henshin Cyborg”, the clever monkeys at Denys Fisher took it, made it smaller and added a keen back story. I didn’t grow up in the UK, had no inkling it existed when I was […]
From the “Stuff I hadn’t seen before but now can’t live without” department comes this Six Million Dollar man bubble bath container from the UK. I guess in the 60s they called these “soakies”, I just call this thing awesome. Many thanks to Ebay Seller RetroToyBoy for the photo submission. More after the (Slow Motion) […]
