Bootleg pistol from V (sponsored link) —

I can’t tell you how much I want this, it’s going for exactly what’s in my Paypal. However, I need that money for Mego Meet. So please, kind people, take this deal away from me? Would ya?

Super Juniors Sleeping Bag (affiliate link) —

As a kid I just ABHORED the Super Juniors merchandise because that stuff was for Babies! However, my friend and frequent collab Chris Franklin’s affection for them lead to an awesome Toy-Ventures article. Also, I’ve softened on the Juniors in general, they’re not as cool as Muppet Babies but….

Dick Tracy Crimestoppers Kit (affiliate Link) —

This is one of those weird toys that looks like it’s from the 1940s but that was probably on purpose. I have a feeling the Dick Tracy and Lone Ranger licenses had a lot of grandpeople purchases and well, they are a viable toy demographic. Crap, I’ve done this kind of thing, my son never got into Adventures Team G.I. Joe *SOBS*

Vintage Marvel Comics Superheroes Shirts (Affiliate Link) —

I’m unsure if I’ve ever encountered these, but they’re brilliant! These probably were in the Heroes World catalog but I didn’t bother to check.

Vicma Sherlock Hemlock puppet (affiliate link) —

I saw one of these recently at SDCC, and like most things there, it’s more reasonable outside of those walls. Vicma was a Spanish Toy Company, and their character selection for Sesame Street Puppets was different than the US. They even made a Guy Smiley! This is what drew me to toy collecting—seeing what other countries got. I love it all!

Mego Meet is this Saturday and Sunday at Zolo Con in Warminster PA.

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Super Jrs, Dick Tracy, Marvel Heroes, Bootleg “V” and Sherlock Hemlock (4 real this week!)

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

The Lone Ranger toyline is easily one of the nicest action figure lines of the 1970s if not all time and Gabriel Toys had some real long-running success with it.

This 1977 Catalog is the third year for the line and shows that it was still going strong, Gabriel put a lot of effort into this catalog and it truly showcases how nice this line really was.

The way these figures held their guns was epic.

Let’s have a better look at that lovey store display

Oh man, such a lovely display.

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #1 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.
