Le Guerre Des Etoiles
This is a page from the Meccano Toys catalog from France showcasing all the new Star Wars stuff for 1979, I love how Blue Snaggletooth and that prototype troop transporter (which looks cooler IMO) snuck in there.
You know what they call “Six Million Dollar Man” in France?
“L’Homme Qui Valait 3 Millards” and Bionic Woman is “Super Jamie” and Maskatron is just…Maskatron
Battle of the Planets Phoenix by Ceji Arbois
Ever see something vintage for the first time and just “Oh I have to have this”. That happened to me last month and the Ebay Gods smiled on me that I got it within my budget (that never happens). This is a vintage Battle of the Planets Phoenix that was produced in France in 1980 […]
Captain Harlock Action Figure
In France, they released this amazing Captain Harlock doll using a 12″ GI Joe body. These were also sold in Quebec, I had one of these in 1987, paid a whopping ten bucks for it. One of my toy collecting mentors/friends really wanted it, he was a great guy so I traded it to him […]
Le Big Jim
I truly am in awe of how much cool Big Jim stuff they got in Europe in the late 70s/early 80s. One of these days I’m going to track down all these pirates…. More Big Jim than you can handle!
Spider-Man meets Zorro
This children’s Spider-Man costume from France is pretty killer and detailed, the ray gun is weird but I bet kids didn’t mind.
Poupees des La Guerre Des Etolies
French for Dolls from Star Wars. I love how this vintage catalog used the C3P0 model kit as a proxy for the action figure.
Battle of the Planets Book and Record Set
While packing up this month, i found this wonderful piece that belongs to my wife. It’s a book and record set from France very similar to our Power Records or I guess the Disney book and records. Canada has a large French population so many books, records and toys native to France were available here. […]
La Maison des Muppets
I found this in a toy catalog from France, Statler and Waldorf didn’t make their way onto a lot of merchandise so it’s nice to see them get so much real estate….
Le Micronauts
This ad is from France where then distributor “Pin Pin Toys” had good fortune with the Micronauts line, it truly was an international affair with the line enjoying good sales in Canada, the UK, German, Greece and especially Italy. This Friday our new podcast is all about the Interchangeable world of the Micronauts.
