Pod Stallions Epsiode 27b: The Krofft Super Show (Part 2)

Seeing as we were unceremoniously cut off from finishing last month’s show, Jason and myself decided to cut a “mini-sode” in addition to our regular show (which debuts next Friday) to finish what we started. We pick up on “Pink Lady and Jeff” talk about the Bay City Rollers, briefly touch on DC Follies and […]

Land of the Lost Moon Spinners

Another photo submission from Manuel, these cool Land of the Lost Moon Spinners/ Even though the toys have no relation to the show, I’d have been a sucker for these due to the cards heavy “Sleestak factor”. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. […]

Krofft Week Wrap up

I got a lot of nice mail over Krofft week and many folks wanted to join in! Seeing as most of you have better collections than me, it made sense to showcase them here today. Manuel has a great selection of Krofft borad games, I’ve never seen the Bugaloo’s one above. A lot of folks […]

Pod Stallions 27: The Krofft Supershow (part 1)

We wouldn’t be much of a 70s retro website without a discussion of Sid and Marty Krofft would we? I think we’d have to turn in our “Gen X” badges. Episode 27 takes from the days of HR Puf N Stuf but sadly gets cut short at “Pink Lady and Jeff” due to Jason became […]

Krofft Week: Wonderbug!

Aw yeah, Wonderbug is definitely in my top five Krofft shows, basically a live action speed buggy with a little Shazam! sprinkled in for good measure, what’s not to love. Above is the Wonderbug toy cars made by Duncan (the yo-yo people). Here’s a whole display of them. I really need to track down one […]

Krofft Week: Land of the Lost

Probably my most favourite of all Krofft shows would be Land of the Lost, I never missed it and it often scared the hell out of me. It was also one of the most heavily merchandised Krofft shows ever made, above is the Safari Shooter one of the many rack toys made. Speaking of Rack […]

Krofft Week: Dr Shrinker

Continuing my love for all thing Krofft, I have always been super fond of Dr. Shrinker. I probably like “Far Out Space Nuts” a l’il bit more but it doesn’t seem to have much merchandise so Shrinker it is… Harmony had the license to make rack toys from all the Krofft Super Show and seemed […]

Krofft Week: Electrawoman and Dynagirl

This week’s podcast theme is the Krofft Supershow so I feel it appropriate to theme the week to some of my favourites from the brothers Krofft. Electrawoman and Dynagirl is absolutely in my top fiveKrofft shows. I didn’t understand what drew me to this show as a kid but these ladies had my attention.  Above […]

Land of the Lost Moonbase Rocket

  I’d make a joke but somebody, somewhere would send me an email rationalizing this toy by citing an episode that I’ve somehow missed where this makes complete, perfect sense.  So fine, here is a moonbase rocket from Land of the Lost, a series that may have taken place on the moon and featured many […]

Dr Shrinker!

This toy would have grabbed my childhood money quicker than a vacuum although i would have been pretty bummed it wasn’t an actual shrink ray (I wasn’t class valedictorian) . It’s just one in a series of somewhat series relevant rack toys from Harmony who seemed to have the license for Krofft Supershow, here is the magnifying […]
