Battlestar Shogun-lactica
As a kid, had I seen this page I would just torn it out and handed it to Santa…
Toy Sale At Alexander’s!
Click here for a larger view. It’s been a grinder of a week here, so today’s Friday feature is this incredible toy sale at Alexanders, where they appear to be just giving away Shogun Warriors. I could cry…. Check out the awesome Toynami Shogun Warriors Godzilla coming this July
Mattel Flash Gordon action figures
This is another toy line that I’m smitten with but just don’t have the money, space or time for. I especially covet that whacky inflatable rocket ship. I’ll circle back to you someday my precious…. If you haven’t checked out the cartoon series this is based on, do so immediately!!!!! More on this:
More Shogun Warriors in France
Found this cool ad from comic book in France, offering 50 Jumbo Goldorak Shogun Warriors in a contest. This guy was a European exclusive (although I found more than one here in Canada, never smart enough to buy one) and it’s sweet to see so many of them in this advert. click on this for […]
Mattel Big Jim Repro Art Book
Reproduction is was a series of black and white line drawings of toy products provided to vendors for newspaper advertisements. It is something of a lost artform in this digital age and something I both admire and collect. I’ve compiled a gallery of repro art for Mattel’s 1975 Big Jim line, as I’m pretty fond […]
Shogun Warriors in France
I end this week with this little bit of wonder from France, where the line was simply called “Shogun” and featured Goldorak. I ask you, what is not to love? This ad refers to Raider (not Raideen), Mazinger, Poseidon and Dragun as his “Strongest Friends”, love it. Oh and the invincible defenders of the Earth […]
Comic Ad: Battlestar Galactica Free Gold Cylon Promo
I was pretty bummed when I saw this as a kid, mostly because the packaging from my Battlestar Figures had been tossed a good three months before….
Cylon Voice Control Helmet
As far as I can tell, this toy never saw release. It was offered by a division of Mattel known as Concept 2000 and it gave kids the ability to talk like a cyclon when placed upon their heads. I’m a pretty casual BSG fan but the fact that this didn’t get made kind of […]
Shigcon Fever
I was so smitten with the larger Shogun Warriors as a kid, that I completely ignored stuff like the Shigcon tank and jet pictured here. I honestly just learned their names tonight. These vehicles (like the majority of the Shogun Warriors line) were originally toys from a Japanese TV series, these two were from a […]
Vintage Toys I saw this weekend
This past Sunday I set up at Burlington Toy Show, mostly to hang out with friends and eat food that’s not good for me but also to hopefully earn some money for next week’s Mego Meet toy show. It was hard being good but I took photos instead of buying, above is easily the rarest toy […]
