Superfriends Placemats (sponsored link) —

As a child of the 70s, I can’t deny how the Superfriends make me happy. They’re bold colours and general demeanor defined my childhood. I would love to stare at the smiling faces over breakfast each day, but seeing I mainly eat a piece of toast over the sink (my nickname here is “The Raccoon”), I probably don’t need a placemat.

Ben Cooper “The Thing” Jiggler (sponsored link) —

I’m pretty excited for the Fantastic Four movie personally and well, this Thing Jiggler is something I am happy I own. I was that kid that wanted him more than the Hulk, I still am. This was a weird set by Ben Cooper that added Dr. Strange and the Red Skull in a “What was the plan here?” assortment.

Vending Machine card for Rubber Bugs (sponsored link)-–

I love that there’s no graphics or text needed,” BLAP! RUBBER BUGS! Give me twenty-five cents,” and every kid understood the mission.

Medicom Tron Figure and Light Cycles (sponsored link) —

I had no idea these existed until I saw them in a Micronauts group. The figures themselves really look like Microman, and now I’m obsessed with them.  I don’t really love the movie Tron, but I sure have a thing for the action figures.

Simon and Simon Corgi Car (sponsored link)—

I grew up loving “Simon and Simon,” but wow, Corgi, this is strangely lazy. Was there a Simon and Simon City Bus too? Cause, I’m sure a bus made an appearance in the show. Damn, now that banger of Mike Post theme tune is in my head…..

Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures 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 catalog, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.

The post Mego and Disney Reveal the Fantastic Four figure set appeared first on PS.

The first page showcases a Gene Simmons KISS beachball. This is something I have never seen before and well I can’t seem to find any evidence of it on the interwebs.

I am getting a real Marvel Comics vibe off that art but I’m no expert, I’m sure someone will tell me where it’s from.

AHI KISS Swim Rings

AHI also offered two KISS swim rings featuring some interesting sketches of StarChild, SpaceAce, the Cat and the Demon. 

I’m going to go out on a limb and say these probably never say production, but like a lot of things, it just may have had a minor release somewhere. 

Plaid Stallions Toy-Ventures 12 Pack

\

What Superhero do kids want in the pool? You guessed it, Spider-Man because he……. swam that one time? I’m really not sure why Aquaman never factors in here, but AHI was pretty happy with Spider-Man and Hulk. As the note suggests below, kids were eating this up.

Spiderman snorkel set by AHI

Lastly, we’ve got battery-operated Batboats and licensed Bop Bags. The Mr. Spock bop bag differed from the one AHI offered the toy trade, it came in a baggy instead of a box. We covered these in issues 1 and 2 of Toy-Ventures magazine.

Can I just say that I love this Fantastic Four Bop Bag? It was also offered in the 1979 AHI Rack Toy Catalog but again, I’ve never seen one.

Here is the much rarer 50″ tall “Pool Spock Bop Bag” courtesy of Corey LeChat.

The post 1979 AHI Pool Toys Catalog- KISS! Mr. Spock! Marvel Comics! appeared first on PS.

( legalese: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated)

Excel Toys Kojak set with villain (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Longtime PlaidStallions readers will know that I am borderline obsessed with Kojak merchandise. It’s such a weird fit and I especially love the action figure, which I proudly own. This is the rare catalogue set that includes “Bad Guy” which in reality is an AHI Butch Cavendish Knock Off figure that looks like a Footlocker employee. I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything.

PS Here’s my video on Kojak Toys.

Fleetwood Glowing Marvel Superheroes Display Box (eBay Affiliate Link) —

When I stumbled upon this, it gave me a feeling I haven’t had in ages, just pure wonder. This is a display box for label slap flashlights that were really, really crappy, but the label is Marvel FREAKING Superheroes! It’s Marvel comics in its Bronze Age glory, and the Fantastic Four are involved. I cut my teeth on Kirby/Lee FF thanks to Treasury Editions and I adore those characters as a result (Also, the Corman Movie is currently the most faithful, don’t agree? Bike Racks at 3:15) . I know if you click on this link, I may get a shiny penny, so you have no reason to trust me, but I implore you to check this auction out; the images will likely stir some emotion. 

The price tag will also elicit some emotion, but where else can you find such a thing?

Inflatable Planet of the Apes Cornelius (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Oh, good golly, Miss Molly, smooshing Planet of the Apes with Poly Vinyl Chloride, maybe the “Peanut Butter and Chocolate” of toy making. I own one of these in the baggy, and while I overpaid (waaaay too much Christmas cheer and watching an Apes movie), it inspired the Infl8able Monster premium for issue 12 of Toy-Ventures. I’ll never regret the purchase, that’s for sure!

End Run Mego Micronauts Antron (eBay Affiliate Link) —

At some point during the dissolving of Mego Corporation, a whole bunch of oddball items appeared at Toys R Us stores under the “Lion Rock” banner (*psssssst* Lion Rock was Mego all along!) and all of them are awesome and weird! Case in point, these “factory floor sweeping” put onto cards. Antron doesn’t have any of his cool weapons but hey, he’s 97 cents!

As a kid, I would have fallen for this ruse, by the way. I want this damned thing now!

Hagar the Horrible Halloween Costume by Collegeville (eBay Affiliate Link) —

I unabashedly love Hagar the Horrible and was so amused to find this. As a fan of comic strips, none aged more poorly than Hagar, but so undeservedly so. I adore the faithful paint mask on this. I have a weird story about Hagar comics from my childhood, but I’ll do it in the next PodStallions Nerdtherapy session.

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

Fantastic Four Water Pistol (eBay Link) —

France’s Pin Pin Toys carried a ton of products from Mego and AHI but also made their own products like this pretty non-descript water gun. The Fantastic Four are huge in France and well, that seems totally deserved. 

Spider-Man Sticker Book from France (eBay Link) —

I always really appreciate Super Heroe merchandise that uses it’s own artwork. It happens so rarely now but look at this fun cover, it’s gorgeous and hey, it’s all the movie Spideys.

70s DC Comics Kitchen Magnets (eBay Link) —

Oh look, childhood happiness. I still have the Robin I’ve had my entire life, there are marvel versions too and BarbaPappas!

Henshin Cyborg Operation Game (eBay Link) –—

My pal Ed posted this on the Mego Museum forums and I mean, it’s incredible. It’s the officially licensed Game of Operation but instead of a nude guy we get Henshin Cyborg. This is fortified awesome. 

Ideal Derry Daring adventure set (eBay Link) —

Derry Daring was Evel Knievel but for girls, it makes sense I’m sure lots of girls wanted to play with that stunt set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a carded figure before and I am in love with the artwork. This is really awesome.

Superman Sleeping Bag (eBay Link) —

I love comic book Sleeping bags especially ones where Superman is burping and beating up Marlon Brando from “The Wild One.”

Weird Bootleg Tarzan figure (eBay Link) __

Weird Tarzan figures like this are the Faberge egg of my house. I’ve got them everywhere, I can’t resist them!

Dutch Bionic Man Turbo Tower Set (eBay Link) —

Clipper was the Netherlands distributor for Kenner products (we have a Clipper catalog here) and I just really love the packaging on this wonderful toy.

Marvel Superhero Stamps (eBay Link) —

I loved Super Hero stamps as a kid and completely forget they were a thing. It did not give me a life long love of stamps but I think they’re incredible and wish i had to money.

Color Forms Tru Dimension set (eBay Link)—

These were 3D hobby sets introduced in 1976 by Colorforms and the brain child of toy inventory Mel Birnkrant. If you want to read more about them, read Mel’s story on them and then enjoy his incredible website.

The post PlaidStallions on Bootleg Safari appeared first on PS.

CHiPs was the major player for 1982, Fleetwood managed to get a lot of mileage out of the motorcycle cop goodness.

While Legend of the Lone Ranger wasn’t a box office success, the character itself still sold toys. Fleetwood was able to create a variety of toys thanks to the abundant tooling available in Hong Kong for wild west toys.

The adventures of Colt Seavers made for some terrific rack toy potential. The Fall Guy license allowed Fleetwood to sell anything.

– 1982 Fleetwood Catalog Rainbow land

Even though SGT. Fury comics didn’t sell as well as superheroes he got oodles of merchandise. It’s not surprising he was a big seller, plastic army men rule! Look at that Kirby-Esque artwork.

The Topps Wacky Trucks are amazing and I want a set.

The post 1982 Fleetwood Toys Catalog- BJ and The Bear, Fall Guy, Marvel appeared first on PS.

So the story begins with a UFO and the US military launching a missile at it. Turns out it’s a witch, I love how this kid coloured her green. 

I just want to point out that the art is kind of nice. This is a swipe from Kirby but it’s well done.
