Matchbox MAC Commando Challenge (sponsored link)

Wow, this is a sealed set from 1975, everything in there perfect and unplayed with. I have a real soft spot for MAC, the pocket version of the GI Joe Adventure Team and this set is gorgeous.

Display box for the Imperial Grizzly Jigglers (sponsored link)

Hey it’s October and a lot of cool Horror and Monster toys come out, like this, a display box of Grizzly Jigglers. Grizzly is a late 70s “Jawsploitation” movie that looked like it was going to be a hit. As much as I love the merch and the entire genre of rip-offs, I find this movie just OK. I have friends who really love it however.

Takara Japan Gi Joe Wind-Up Machine Gun (Sponsored Link) —

What I don’t know about Takara and 12″ GI Joe could probably fill a warehouse. I’ve got no real head for military toys, but this wind-up machine gun playset is amazing. That is some really innovative thinking.

Six Million Dollar Man Jacket (Sponsored Link) –

If I had this as a kid, it would have made me look less weird when I ran around the playground in slow motion. I wasn’t imitating Steve Austin, I’ve got “Slow Motion Running Syndrome” according to my unbelievably scary grade six gym teacher.

Mattel Talking King Kong (sponsored link)–

I’ve always dug the Rankin-Bass King Kong cartoon that was spun out of the classic “King Kong Escapes.”  I had no idea Mattel made a doll of him and he comes with a tiny Bobby Bond! I just don’t know why they made him blue and yellow? That seems out there….

The post Toy-Ventures: Big Jim’s Devil River Trip appeared first on PS.

As shown in our recent Toy-Ventures Video, the 1983 Consumer’s Distributing Toy Catalog is from an era where the Canadian retailer was truly one of the biggest retailers of toys in the country, not only through their stores but by creating “Toy City” which were superstores in major Canadian cities.

The following pages are a total time capsule to a wonderful era of toys, enjoy.

Consumers Distributing 1983 Toy Flyer

Cabbage Patch Kids were the hot toy of 1983, oh the carnage….

GI Joe’s second year was particularly awesome and sort of my swan song of toys at the time.

I personally love the Arco Other World toys. Sure, it’s a MOTU KO, but it’s so different and weird. The Machine Man racers would eventually become Go-Bots…

Return of the Jedi was the big hit of the summer but Consumers was having trouble selling Kenner’s Micro Playsets from the years earlier. Such an underrated toy line. I love it. The Mego Dukes of Hazzard were still available despite Mego going bankrupt, that’s because Canada’s Grand Toys made a special trip to Hong Kong to restart Lion Rock because of this Consumers listing and other purchase orders.

vv

I had completely forgotten that Team America was sold in Canada, I did read (and enjoy at the time) the Marvel Comic book, which hasn’t aged super good.

My friends sister at the time was Strawberry Shortcake obsessed, I know everyone’s names to this day.

,k

ff

oo

I really dig Grover swiping his pose from Burt Reynolds like that.

The Fisher Price circus train sure had some long legs.

I laid this very site out on a Texas Instruments computer.

I remember wanting those Coleco mini arcade games but dang, they were pricey!

There is a Mattel Wayne Gretsky doll at EVERY antique mall in Canada, they’re right next to the Bob and Doug McKenzie record and the “Blue Jays World Series” newspapers. It’s Canadian law put into place by Stephen Harper.

My 7th grade teacher made us play IQ 2000 like almost every day. She was a terrible teacher.

GI Joe Skydive to Danger (sponsored link)

When I turned six, my grandmother let me tag along with her to Eatons (RIP) to pick out one thing for my birthday. She left me in the toy aisle for probably a half an hour while she went to the credit department. It is one of my fondest childhood memories, looking through all those crazy GI Joe, Big Jim and Mego Superhero packages, just leisurely drinking it all in. I saw some crazy stuff, like Cowboy outfits for Joe that I would later find out were exclusive to Canada. Anyway, I chose this, which, to me, is the coolest Joe set ever. You’ve got a parachute and a giant spider. It still sets my brain afire.

Brains in a Bag (sponsored link) 

My friend Courtney sent this to me and it’s something that would have been sold in “Over our Heads” in those later seasons of “Facts of Life” that have George Clooney.

Pssssst…..My wife is revisiting this series for the 100th time, please, I can’t take any more of Beverly Anne…

Microman Lady Command figure (sponsored Link) 

Thanks to the Super 7 Micronauts figures, I’ve been in a real Micronaut mood lately. This is a Micronaut Mego didn’t bring to the states, the female version of the Pharoid instead, her time chamber is the Statue of Liberty. I wouldn’t have bought this at ten but OMG I’ll take one now.  The above is a vintage one, but reproductions are cheap and abundant. 

Popeye the movie Colorforms (sponsored link)

I’ve probably said this before, but I unabashedly love this movie, I know it’s flawed, and its production involved mountains of Cocaine (never tried), but I was ten when I saw it at the Oshawa Center. Call it my personal  “Goonies,” ok? However, I’m aware it’s not for everyone. I like Harry Nilsson’s music, adore Shelly Duvall, and love comedic violence. Plus, Donald Moffat was REM on “Logan’s Run.” That’s all I got.

Whenever I mention colorforms, I also like to say that toy designer Mel Birnkrant shares all his knowledge. He probably has an anecdote about this set if you ask him on the book face, I wish more toy people were like Mel.

Cool as hell Spider-Man shirt from the 1970s (sponsored link) —

This kid’s shirt blows my mind, mainly for the appearance of (weirdly drawn) Man-Wolf! I was really drawn to these types of monster characters as a kid (Man-Bat fans represent!) so seeing them on merch always makes me smile.

Kenner Stretch X-Ray Store Display (sponsored link)–

What is there to be said about a lenticular toy store display from the 1970s that isn’t apparent just by looking at it?

\\

Buck Rogers Sleeping Bag (sponsored link)

Buck Rogers had two things, a killer poster and a very hard working licensing agent. Seriously, for a brief time, Gil Gerard was reaching “Garfield” levels at retail.

Eerie Magazine t shirt- (sponsored link)

I remember seeing these in the back of Warren magazines; I’ve always loved this shirt style and not to mention this gorgeous artwork. I just wish that someday, a used pair of Warren’s “Other” clothing line surfaces.

McDonalds puppet of Captain Crook (sponsored link)

I believe this isn’t a retail product but an actual item that McDonald’s employees used to have puppet shows at birthday parties. I only recently found out about this on social media, but I have no idea where that was because it’s just a conveyer belt of information. Let me say this, the Hamburglar puppet I saw in that post needs to come home with me. I’m just not complete anymore without him………

Super Hero Weebles (sponsored link)

I vaguely recall a TV commercial for this, probably shown during “Uncle Croc’s Block,” which also seems like a fever dream. I was smitten with the idea of transforming someone into a superhero, so I asked my parents for this. My parents were firmly Fisher Price people; this was out of the question. Somehow, this rejection did not inspire adult me to devote my life to Weeble collecting like it did when I wanted some Mego Fantastic Four figures from Heroes’ World.

Universal Studios Hulk Postcard

My lifelong obsession with this tour is justified when I see a postcard featuring a “Fake Ferrigno” and Frankenstein in one shot. 

Captain America Shield Shooter (sponsored link) 

Funstuf had a lot of success with the Spider-Man web shooter and spun it off to Cap and Hulk (his was a fist.) Kid’s toys should be devoid of logic, the less logic, the more fun in my eyes. 

Vintage Dimestore Dinosaur Display Box (affiliate link) —

Man, this is the kind of thing I could not avoid as a kid. I’m still drawn to such things but this is awesome artwork and features my favourite Dino, Triceratops! Raptor, Schmaptor….

Lili Ledy GI Joe Adventurer (Affiliate Link) —

I have a 30-year obsession with toys produced in Mexico, and this is one of my “top five” wants: a boxed Lili Ledy “Aventuro de Accione.” I’m not fussy on if it’s Land, Sea or Air, I will get one someday. This one kills me, but I don’t have the dosh to make an offer.

Super Gorilla Bootleg Kong Figure (Affiliate Link) —

I featured Dinosaurs, so I have to give equal time to giant apes. It’s a law that I think came to me in a dream. I can’t tell you how much I love bootleg Kongs, both in film and toy form. I love them more than licensed ones. This one has a super cool header card that looks nicked from somewhere else, and I’m pretty sure this sculpt began life as a licensed Japanese Kong toy. BLISS, I TELL YOU!

McDonalds Hawaiian Shirt (affiliate link) —

Once in a lifetime, a garment passes you by that is so glorious that everything else looks like burlap. I’ve had this moment, and fashion is now meaningless to me.  I will never know the joy of having a Big Mac on my heart as this is not my size.

Action Girl Scuba Outfit (affiliate link) —

You have to applaud Europe for adding female characters to the GI Joe Adventure team and giving them cool outfits. I was to shy to buy female characters as a kid and well, that’s a shame. I’ve changed my mind on the whole thing now.

Bootleg V Hat (affiliate link) —

I just want to buy everything with “V” on it; I feel like that will be the void left by not having enough V toys when it is hot.

Dick Tracy Flashlight (affiliate link) –

I post in a trifecta of love for Rack Toys, Dick Tracy and just general 70s weirdness. I want to own this so that at the next blackout, I can act all normal about using it. “What? I come prepared! Sorry?”

Japanese Superman Car model (affiliate Link) —

The one thing I love about Japanese model kits is that I’m always finding something new, and I hope that it never changes. I don’t know why Superman needs a car, but I so want to see this movie that the box is promising. It’s mid-century cool and I don’t care if it has a single word of dialogue. I want this Superman to beat up those Johnny Quest robots a whole bunch.

(These links are sponsored and I get a small bag of coins thrown at me by a sneering nobleman on horseback.)

Custom Igor from Hilarious House of Frightenstein (affiliate Link)

I had to put this on because I made it….with the help of some talented friends. It was an exclusive we did for a con we called “Mego North” which was the digest Canadian equivalent of a Mego Meet. It was something I’m really happy I did. I’m not sure if the asking price is the “going rate” for what is a custom, but I’m just surprised one popped up.

Vintage kid’s Charlies Angels Shirt (affiliate Link)

I never really got into this show as a kid, but my wife eventually pointed out some of its more camp elements, so I appreciate it more now.

Hunter Rack Toy Set by Largo (affiliate Link)
I used to really dig Hunter as a cynical teen, mainly because the show wanted to be a Dirty Harry. But it’s TV, so it couldn’t really be as gritty when people are saying, “You better pay me my STINKING money, Maaaaannn!” The episode where Hunter goes undercover as a punk is not at “Quincy” levels, but it’s still fun. Also, Fred Dryer was likable and sold the concept.

The only difference between this set and 70s versions of the theme is that the gun could no longer be black.

Palitoy Action Man The Intruder (affiliate Link)

As a kid, this was the only member of the GI Joe Super Adventure Team that I did not have and also, did not request. I mean if one fell in my lap as a kid, OK but I wasn’t all that sold on the concept. Had I seen the Palitoy UK box for this character, I may have changed my mind, they really nailed this kind of thing.

Here’s a video on the subject I did.

Filmation Superboy Animation Cel (Affiliate Link) –

If there is any testament to the power of Filmation, it’s that I could hear the music when I saw this. I grew up on the Filmation Superhero cartoons and it was time well spent.
