Mattel Battlestar Galactica Viper Launcher Commercial
For some reason I’ve never uploaded this commercial to YouTube, yet I transferred it ages ago. A cleverly repurposing of their “Flying Aces” toys, the Viper Launch station was a really cool way to play Battlestar Galactica.
Big Jim 1984 Catalog from Italy
He may have faded from our toy shelves in the 1970s but in Europe, Big Jim was still kind of a big deal. How big a deal? In this 1984 Mattel Italy catalog, Big Jim has as many pages as Masters of the Universe. By this time, the Big Jim line is firmly set in […]
Battlestar Galactica: The Big One for 79/80?
This is an article from a UK toy industry magazine, I love stuff like this, nobody wanted to get caught with their pants down like they all did with Star Wars. As a result, Battlestar Galactica was taken very seriously by retailers, at least for a little while.
Le Big Jim
I truly am in awe of how much cool Big Jim stuff they got in Europe in the late 70s/early 80s. One of these days I’m going to track down all these pirates…. More Big Jim than you can handle!
Shogun Warriors at your command
I always feel like a kid with my nose up to the bakery window when it comes to Shoguns…
Battlestar Galactica Inflatable Viper
I recently discovered this in a catalog for toymaker GLJ, who specialized in things like bop bags and inflatable Barbie Furniture. Turns out they had the Battlestar Galactica license and planned a number of things, including this inflatable Colonial Viper that would have fit the 12″ Mattel figures. While some GLJ BSG merchandise made it […]

This month’s show starts off with Jason talking a little bit about his BAFTA Flash Gordon event but then segways into the works of Irwin Allen, primarily his TV work of the 1960s. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel as well as the busted […]
Pod Stallions 37 : Godilla
Episode 37 is our first “lost episode” as we had to re-record half of it after a computer glitch (sorry), so we know it’s not October. This one has J & B discussing all things Godzilla and his Toho pals, something we’re both fans of. Subjects include our highlights (and lowlights) of his film series, […]
Spotlight: Toynami Shogun Warriors Godzilla
What better time to do a photo review of a shiny new Godzilla toy than the month of October? This isn’t any Godzilla but Toynami’s retake of our childhood classic, the Shogun Warriors Godzilla. I tried to resist this but seeing as I was denied the original as a kid, it was inevitable. So let’s take […]
