Amazing Bullmark Mecha Godzilla store display (sponsored link) ––

I’ve never seen these toys before but I wish I had seen them as a kid. That’s probably my favourite Godzilla movie of all time, and well, I like clear toys.

MASH Latrine Playset by Zee Toys (Sponsored Link) ––

So yeah, they made the toilets from MASH as a toy, a playset of sorts. You can set up the army man and well, make fart sounds all afternoon. When you factor in that this was aimed at boys in the third grade, you realize the people at Zee Toys may not have been stupid.

As a former 8-year-old boy, this would have been at least a fun afternoon.

Planet of the Apes Urko Belt Buckle (sponsored link) —

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but I’m awfully fond of this whole Planet of the Apes nonsense the kids are into. I really like the oddball items, probably because I’ve forbidden myself to buy them.  Although I’d look pretty bad ass in this.

Vintage Cocktail swords (sponsored link) —

These things were like currency when I was kid, my parents weren’t drinkers so getting these was rare. As a kid, they were the perfect scale for Mego figures and hey, who didn’t want swords for your action figures?

Battle of the Planets Target Set (Sponsored Link) 

While I’ve seen the box for this thing before, I never realized how cool the toy is. The box is that same Sandy Frank licensing shot we’ve seen before but the target set itself is of Zoltar!

Zoltar, that amazing gender bending Glam rock villain didn’t get onto a lot of merchandise and we must celebrate it.

Just look at this thing! Glorious!

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.
