Japanese Jaws 3D display (sponsored link)—

JAWS 3D is a guilty pleasure my wife and I both share; it’s just the perfect mix of schlock for us. If it’s on TV, we have to watch it, just like our “Goodfellas” rule. Seeing that Japan has recognized this film’s true greatness is another reason I want to move there. 

Sandokan film strips (sponsored link) —

I’m really intrigued by this film strip series, here showcasing the popular “Sandokan” pirate series. I wonder what other properties got such treatment? 

JotaStar Doctor Who Card Game (sponsored link)

I think I’ve featured these before but I’m a sucker for weird Tom Baker merchandise. A lot of the merchandising art back then was kind of …depressing.

Bootleg Blacula Halloween Mask (Sponsored Link)–

I don’t know the origins of this mask, but it sure feels like William Marshall was the inspiration.

Buck Rogers Game from Brazil (sponsored link) —

I have never seen this toy before. I think the most interesting thing about it is how Joseph Wiseman is so predominant on the packaging. Wiseman’s Draco was largely cut out of the film and only mentioned in the series, so it’s interesting that they promoted him as the big bad. I also just found out he was Canadian.

EBAY LINK Starzinger-SpaceKeteers Helmet-  The animated antics of “Force Five” didn’t hit the Toronto market until I was way too old to enjoy it but I really remember watching it on Channel 47. Spaceketeers was the one show that wasn’t somehow connected to the Shogun Warriors, I haven’t thought of it in a long while but my friend David sent me this link and it all came flooding back.

EBAY LINK Buck Rogers Presto Magix set– I don’t have this one, this will be a problem for me.

EBAY LINK Batman Waterblaster Shield– Jotastar was a UK company that made a lot of weird rack toys and well, this is one of them. These are shields that squirt water and you can get your choice of DC characters who don’t have shields. 

EBAY LINK Corgi Joker Mobile– I had this as a kid and I really liked it. It never seemed weird that a villain like the Joker would advertise, it seems exactly what he would do.

EBAY LINK Nomura Yamato/Star Blazers Playset- I have previously dubbed this the coolest playset ever on an episode of Toy-Ventures and you know what? I still stand by it.

This one blew my mind, UK Toy distributor Jotastar (who sold a lot of AHI stuff in the UK) plastered the Blake’s Seven logo on some unrelated friction space ships in the early 1980s.
