Blonde Alan Alda Trauma

Blonde Alan Alda Trauma

I’m still going through photos from ZoloCon earlier this month, and I missed talking about a few items. I just remembered why I took so many photos of this at my friend Mark Huckabone’s booth.

The Tri-Star M*A*S*H toyline came onto the scene when I was pretty into the GI Joe RAH toy line, thanks to that wonderful comic. I’m a notorious cherry picker of action figure lines as a kid; I only had Crystar himself, one Muppet Show (Gonzo), and….. Hawkeye Pierce. I watched M*A*S*H episodes back-to-back every day on the little black-and-white TV in my bedroom as a kid (on City TV channel 79).

I can’t say the toy line impressed me at that age. I remember friends taking me to see the “Klinger in a dress” figure in the toy department. We were old enough to wonder why a toy company would even do that. Klinger no longer did that on the show since the 1970s. It was our first taste of ironic humour; these figures almost reached “Love Boat” levels of mockery with my friends on mall trips (WHERE WE WENT BY OURSELVES BTW!)

But I caved and bought a Hawkeye. I thought it would work, but at that age, I don’t know if I was playing so much or acting out the comics. Also, I was 12 and impulsive.

It didn’t work; his grimace ruined every “Scene” in my head. He even looked elated when Cobra killed him. I vowed never to buy any more Mash figures; I had “buyer’s remorse.”

However, the Vehicles looked cool as hell, and I always wanted the MASH Helicopter as a toy, dating back to an early memory. However, I couldn’t abide their “Generic 4077 Soldier Man,” who was not only just Hawkeye again but also a mustard-blonde, no-eyebrows man.

It pained me that the entire M*A*S*H cast, even a simple background soldier, had to be smiling as if the Joker had just visited the 4077 and put Smylex in Hawkeye’s still.

I could live with myself with having one chuckling character, but I was not letting this grinning homunculus into my home.

It’s a silly thing to me now, and honestly, even when I saw that helicopter on closeout, it didn’t matter because there was this new toy line called “Dungeons and Dragons” that, despite my never successfully having ever played the game, was my last childhood toy line. It was perfect for a middle school kid.

5 Awesome things on eBay this week- Wunderbug, Flicker Rings, Kwai Chang Caine and The Bendable Astro-Warriors!

5 Awesome things on eBay this week- Wunderbug, Flicker Rings, Kwai Chang Caine and The Bendable Astro-Warriors!

The links are sponsored by eBay, the opinions are 100% me.

Strange Star Wars Knock Off Flicker Ring (Sponsored link)-

You have to admit, this is something you’ve never seen before.

Empty Topps Kung Fu Gum Card Box (sponsored link)

As many folks know,I have a life long love of this amazing television series and it’s awesome messages. I am also however, not one of those guys that values gumcards that much, so as much as I love this gorgeous package, I can’t swing the going rate but it is, truly magnificent.

Love Boat Rack Toy Playset by Fleetwood (sponsored link)–

If you’ve ever wanted to reneact the exciting times that Jimmie Walker (or any 1970s television celebrity) is either exiting or entering said “Love Boat” then this is the set for you!

Wonderbug Board Game (sponsored link) –

I really love the box artwork for this, it’s a game I haven’t played but hope to someday. I was a big Wunderbug fan as a kid.

A set of Chem Toy Astro Warriors (sponsored link) —

I’ve never really paid much attention to these, just another series in the slew of Spacey Rack Toys that appeared after Star Wars. These guys sort of have a “Bad News Bears” appeal to them.

Planet of the Apes Prison Wagon- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Planet of the Apes Prison Wagon- (eBay Link)–

I’ve probably featured this toy before but who cares? It’s definitely one of my favourite Apes toys ever. I just love the little astronaut THIS MUCH.

The seller also has the classic Planet of the Apes Helicopter and a bunch of other stuff I need.

Iron Man Black Light Poster – 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Iron Man Black Light Poster – eBay Linkee-

I have no more wall space in my adobe but if I did, this might make it. It’s a thing of American pop art beauty if you ask me and it would look cool when you’re high.

Pink Lady Merchandise (eBay Link)–

Pink Lady was a very popular pop group from Japan that got some of the weirdest bits of American television (pre-reality shows) called “Pink Lady and Jeff” which must be seen to be believed. My good friend and collaborator Corey is putting up pieces of his Pink Lady collection. I urge you to bookmark his page in the coming months.

Matchbox Fighting Furies Store Display (eBay Link)—

The Matchbox Fighting Furies are an 8 Inch line of pirate figures I completely adore but don’t actively collect. The line never had much luck in the United States but it enjoyed a longer life in Europe where it got killer store displays like this.

Also did Pirate ships attack castles? I’m a fan of the era but missed this bit.

Love Boat Collector Plate (eBay Link) —

I am not a collector plate guy, I own one because it’s signed by Alex Ross, which was a big deal at the time for me. I actually have a mutual friend(s) now and we’ve done stuff together but, still cool. Otherwise, I really don’t have a collector plate “Trigger” until I realize there could be collector plates for properties I like ironically. I must check out my local Value Village and see if there is a “Walker: Texas Ranger” series, QVC had to have crapped those out in the late 1990s.

PS: I have never dug Chuck Norris in any fashion until I watched “Walker” which is a Hallmark movie with awful action sequences.

Pod Stallions 110: What We’re Watchin’

Mantooth — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 01:58:03 +0000

Pod Stallions 110: What We’re Watchin’

Keen-eared listeners of the Pod Stallions podcast know that those boys can talk, know a lot of stuff and have opinions, whether they’re asked for or not. Each episode peels back another layer of the enigma-onion that is BraSon, revealing more of their likes, loves and mehs. We thought it was a good time to rip another layer off and talk about What We’ve Been Watching Lately. Comedy, horror, Love Boat, documentary, sci-fi, Love Boat and punk rock are all discussed as well as the Love Boat. It’s like a convo between video store geeks if we still had video stores to hang out in. Give it a whirl; who knows? You just might get turned on to try some suggestions and may even be familiar with others. But don’t forget, Be Kind, Rewind.

Topics include Green Room, VFW, Love Boat, Doctor Who, Are you being served?, Star Trek, History of the World Part 2, Battlefield Earth, The Intruder Within, GORP, Patrick, Australian Cinema, Documentaries, Bob and David, Dick Shawn, Failed TV pilots, #podstallions #plaidstallions #toyventures #startrek #loveboat #tvpilots

So wade in, as the curtain is pulled back to reveal Brian and Jason at their most naked (metaphorically, obviously), in ⁠Pod Stallions⁠‘ Group Free For All!

Issue 9 of Toy-Ventures Magazine is now available and features our guide (and fanboyish love letter) to one of Mego‘s most underrated toy lines. Packaging variations, prototypes, foreign distributor variants, unproduced art, it’s all there.

Please help us keep print toy collector magazines alive by sharing this or using our hashtag #toyventures if you own some issues or see them in the wild.
We could use all the help we can get.

Plaid Stallions “Sweet 16” Contest

Mantooth — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 17:13:01 +0000

Plaid Stallions Sweet 16 Contest

It’s Plaid Stallions’ birthday, and it’s now old enough to drive! Starting this site on a lazy Saturday while my daughter napped was more important than I’d ever realized. I had no idea that when I started posting old catalogue photos online. Starting Plaid Stallions would open such an incredible door that would have me make new friends, create podcasts, go back to college, write books and magazines, and even make action figures based on crazy concepts.

None of this would have happened if I had just decided to watch TV, so it ranks as one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

One of the things that made my life better was all the positive people I encountered on this journey.

I couldn’t have done any of this if you folks hadn’t encouraged me so much, so it’s time to give back with a Sweet 16 Contest of polyester proportions!

So, I have assembled a grand prize that is as eclectic and unfocused as my interests are; I present to you the PlaidStallions Prize Pack, which includes:

Knock-Off Book

Once copy of my latest book, Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized action figures.

All current issues of Toy-Ventures magazine with available bonus prizes.

Two Jamie Farr dinner theatre glasses for that perfect, romantic evening. Please use responsibly; we’re not liable for any children made during improper usage.

An original Kojak Harbor Patrol playset by the good people at Harmony.

1 Brick Mantooth action figure by Odeon Toys

A set of 70s Star Trek party favours.

Star Trek: the Crier in the Emptiness book and record set by Power.

DC Comics Super Heroes Viewmasters

Mego Muhamad Ali figure to fight your Superman doll.

Captain America bubble funnies

Original Filmation production piece from Web Woman.

An original Mego Isaac from the Love Boat line, no, this isn’t the same one we use in our videos, but you would be none the wiser if I hadn’t told you.

There will also be two mystery runner-up prizes!

The Sweet 16 Contest is open anywhere in the world. To enter, merely type your answer to this question on this post (please don’t do it on the Facebook or Youtube pages), and you’re in:

Who is your favourite Love Boat Guest Star of all time?

Contest Rules:
One entry per person. There are no obscenities or mean-spirited remarks; those will get vetted (I know that seems like common sense, but trust me).

Contest winners will be announced on Sunday, May 1st , 2022 at 8 pm Eastern Standard Time.

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Mantooth — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 03:53:15 +0000

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week. Join me on an eclectic adventure of window shopping.

EBAY LINK A glass painting of Drunk E.T.– The mind boggles as to why this was made, I need to know why this was made, it’s keeping me up. The description gives no back story but thank heaven, according to the seller, there are “no odours”. PHEW!

EBAY LINK Blake’s 7 British Annual– I like Blake’s 7, I like British Annuals, this seems like a no-brainer, however, I also like food, so I’ll have to circle back to this later when I have a little more cash. At $15, this is a steal.

EBAY LINK GI Joe Knock Off figure with the head of Isaac from the Love Boat– When Mego folded in 1983, some of their toolings got reused in the wonderful world of Knock Off Action figures. The Love Boat crew famously went to war in a differing series of G.I. Joe Real American Hero knock-offs. Anybody that watches my channel knows that Issac is our mascot and I’d love to get every single variation of these.

EBAY LINK Durham Windup Swimming Spider-Man– If there’s anything Spider-Man is known for it’s swimming. Aquaman was probably PISSED when he saw this on store shelves. Yes, I think Aquaman is real, PROVE ME WRONG!

EBAY LINK Space:1999 Eagle Transporter by Yot Toys– I have been in love with the Eagle transporter and everything it stands for since I was five and this rare diecast version by YOT (Toy backwards, get it?) is really tempting but …the whole thing about liking food again.

Issue four of our magazine Toy-Ventures is now available. Toy-Ventures is bringing back the old school print toy magazine with articles written by the collectors themselves, it’s a love letter to toys and action figures from the 1960s to the 1980s and this issue is our best yet. We’ve got a fantastic toy tribute to the Munsters, the outrageous adventures of Septor and Garth, the dimestore goodness of the Durham Click Button action figures, Superhero and Planet of the Apes knock offs and a fantastic tribute to the Mego Mad Monsters Toy Line.
