Craftmaster had all the best licenses in the late 70s which included Star Wars and arch-rival Battlestar Galactica, Super hunk John Travolta, Fantasy Island, and the Love Boat.

These Star Wars sets got my money more than once and I ruined them with my lack of patience.

Our Magazine has a Facebook Page!

The artistry on these generic sets is pretty amazing.

I proudly own the Fantasy Island set, I wouldn’t throw the Love Boat set out of bed either. 

The combination of Poster art and toy gliders is pretty sweet.

We’re back
with an all-new episode, we had some technical issues but we powered through
and hopefully, you will too because we left them all in!

The topic is
anthology shows but mainly ones in the science fiction and horror theme, we begin
with some of the more familiar shows like “Twilight Zone” and
“Outer Limits”, a short stop into “Fantasy Island” (because….Brian) and get into the obscure and short-lived programs such as
“Dark Room” or “Perversions of Science”. 


We seriously cover
a lot of ground with this one including memorable episodes, remakes and reboots
and of course, merchandise.

The
conversation rounds out with the renaissance the format is having currently with
“Black Mirror” and the Rebooted “Twilight Zone” and we end
in the only logical place, a discussion of Billy Crystals characters on
“Saturday Night Live”. 

We hope you enjoy.

Please  give us spirited debate in our new Facebook group.

The post Pod Stallions 70: Anthology Shows appeared first on PS.

Inspired by the new movie “My Dinner with Hervé” (Dinklage is pretty amazing in it BTW) I thought it would be fun to showcase the nick nacks (pun intended) that I’ve collected from the TV series “Fantasy Island“.

Growing up I rarely missed the show on Saturday nights, it’s mix of fantasy, comedy and horror were pretty intoxicating to my younger self and I’ve been an unironic lifelong fan. There isn’t a lot of merch and while not expensive, it’s elusive.

So my guests, welcome to Fantasy Island and join me after the jump!






Craft Master poster Art set, I was searching for this for quite a while until a kind person who found it at a yard sale reached out to me. I was able to name my price and while I don’t think the person got why i wanted it, they were extremely kind about it.

The Ben Cooper Tattoo costume erroneously gets listed in click bait “Worst Halloween Costume” type lists but come on, he was a huge pop culture icon when we were growing up. This doesn’t come anywhere near the weirdness of “Father Murphy” and never will. I picked this up last year and trasure it.

Fantasy Island Paperbacks, there are two of these and I own both. I think I spent six dollars on both.  I have never attempted to read them, I’m sure they’re stimulating.

HG Toys Puzzle- This may have been the piece that kicked off the collection. It’s also the first time I ever got recognized for this blog. I bought this at a sleepy toy show in upstate New York and when I bought it the dealer said “Are you the PlaidStallions guy?” which of course, surprised me.

Of course, I’ve dabbled in creating custom action figures, this is Mr Roarke and the Devil played by Roddy McDowell. The devil episodes are my absolute favourite, being a fan of all things McDowell of course.  I have a Tattoo in the works as well.

Speaking of Action figures, I found these magnificent hand-painted beauties on Ebay, they’re for 12″ dolls and are perfect. I just haven’t gotten around to giving them bodies yet.

Finally, this vintage Iron On was given to me by a gent named Clark Bucher. It’s actually licensed and I had no idea it existed. I’m terrified to actually wear it as I’m fond of gravy but I am in awe of both the gesture and the item.

Other than the board game (why don’t i own that?), I think that’s it for Fantasy Island Merch I don’t have. Unless you have something I don’t, if that’s the case, please show me!

Thanks to this site, I found one of my top five personal wants and I know it’s hard to believe but this is done without irony. I really liked Fantasy Island as a kid and this poster art set is one of the cooler bits of merchandise it got.


Look how pimp Mr. Roarke and Tattoo look there!

I’ve honestly been looking for this set for years, it rarely pops up, unlike Star Wars which is constantly available.


Like all Craft Master Poster Art sets, the art is phenomenal but I’m honestly unsure of how to get the results depicted on the package with those markers. 

Smiles everyone, Smiles!
