Battlestar Galactica Vertibird (eBay Link) —

Okay, so technically, this isn’t a Battlestar Galactica toy, but it totally is. Mattel pulled a little label-slap action (something that is VERY Mattel)  swapping BSG (which I assume aired in Italy?) with the very popular Mazinga Z television series. Such “nobody will notice” swappery can also be seen on the Remco Land of the Giants Space Sled (AKA Super Car) and  Fonzie’s Dream Rod.

Spider-Man Inflatable Kite (eBay link)

I miss goofy inflatable kits, this Spider-Man one seems to have the “webbing underarms” I seem to be obsessed with. Spider-Man seems naked without them !

Universal Stuidos tour from 1977 film (eBay Link) ––

I am obsessed with the Universal Studios tour, it’s where I went on my honeymoon. This preloaded home movie is a joy. I shouldn’t be surprised such things existed, but it was new to me. I am happy to say that you can watch this whole thing on YouTube for free, hooray!

Diener Monster Erasers (eBay Link)

Bless you Diener for making school supplies fun, these were a massive deal in grade school. I once had a whole store display of the Aliens but foolishly sold it.

Doc Savage promotional statue (eBay Link)

Speaking of selling regrets (or have we all just switched to “Regerts” now?) , I bought one of these promo statues in 1987 at a Toronto comic show for about 20 bucks. I love the Doc Savage movie and I was on a big reading kick of the novels at the time. In college, someone offered me 100 dollars for it, and I took it; it was too much to pass up. Seeing the price on this one made me realize I may never reunite with Doc. It’s still super bad ass and I’ll keep a space for it on my shelf.

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

With the announcement that Bandai is releasing the Jumbo Machinder line starting with Mazinger-Z, I just had to dig up this early 1970s toy flyer with the toys themselves. This page, with its Henshin Cyborg, diecasts, and Microman, is somewhat overwhelming to take in.

We 70s kids, of course, know Machinders as “Shogun Warriors,” but their original name is just as good to me!

This video from Japan showcases the 50th Anniversary Machinder Mazinger Z, and as much as I still have the one I bought at a yard sale in 1982, I may need to get this.

Mazinger was one of the first Shogun Warriors to “invade” our pop culture and became iconic as a result.

I’m really excited for future releases from this series, I’ve always wanted a Kamen Rider V-3, fingers crossed for that one.
