Dick Tracy Rack Toy Flashlight (Sponsored link) —

Dick Tracy got a lot of Rack Toys (mainly guns/handcuffs), but this one is special for that amazing head sculpt. 

Filmation Web Woman Halloween Costume (sponsored link) —

I’m obsessed with Filmation’s “Super 7” cartoon characters and I’ve probably pointed this costume out before but oop, here I am doing it again. This stuff is magical.

Incredible Melting Man Iron-On T-Shirt (sponsored link) —

My friend Matt sent me this and we had a discussion at how we both like Incredible Melting man merch but the movie itself is kind of missed opportunity.

That said, if Mego or NECA did a melting man figure, I’d be first in line.

Colorforms Street Hawk Playset (Sponsored Link) —

It’s surprising how much merchandise a one-season wonder like Street Hawk received. I even did a piece about Kenner’s plans for the range a while back. I think the fact that “Knight Rider” was selling toys made this an easy decision for toy makers like Colorforms.

Batman and Superman Letraset adventure sets (sponsored link) —

These Action transfer sets from the UK don’t turn up much on this side of the Atlantic, either. They are like Presto Magix on steroids, and whoever did the art for these was a legend. I want to fill my house with these!

. 

On the 4th of September 1975, one of the most ambitious and expensive Science Fiction genre TV series of the 1970s debuted. Space:1999 was a British production but with US leads hoping to attract an American network. The networks passed, and 1999 came to our screens via first-run syndication. The show was the creation of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who morphed a second-season concept of their amazing UFO series into its own thing. The enduring popularity of Star Trek in syndication was a big motivator. Topics Discussed Gerry Anderson, Sylvia Anderson, Space:1999, Moonbase Alpha, Eagle One, Eagles, Mattel, Vertibird, Martin Landau, Mego, Palitoy, Playsets, Mattel Eagle, Captain Zantor, LJN, roadstars, Colorforms, Dinky, Dinky Eagle transporter, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Amsco, Dragon’s Domain, Commlocks, AHI, Rack Toys, Remco, Stun Gun, Toyventures, Plaidstallions, MegoMuseum, Brick Mantooth,

Matchbox MAC Rescue Center (sponsored link) —

MAC was one of those toy lines that I got whenever someone gave me a bit of pocket money. You couldn’t beat getting a figure AND a vehicle for like $4.00. I never got anything on the level of this amazing playset, but I did own one in my late 20s. Guess what? It’s awesome.

‘

Ninja Playset? (sponsored link) —

Now this is neither a playset nor a Ninja, it’s just a Rambo knock-off, which is probably a Sun Gold body in a Karate Gi.

The reason I post this is the thought process I went through after my friend sent it. This kind of hilarity is what fuels the Knock-Off collecting sphere. There is a wealth of comedy gold in poorly translated English. I mean, when I wrote Knock-Offs, I kept finding the phrase “Let’s Fence Against the Earth” on Superhero toys.

My thought was, what if AI and Google eventually put an end to this unintentional and welcome silliness? What if it reaches the point where everything is written in perfect English? Where will we go from there?

Colorforms King Kong Tru-Dimension 3D art kit (sponsored link)—

Tru-Dimension 3d art kits were the brainchild of Toy Inventor Mel Birnkrant, and he has a wonderful website showcasing the entire process. I don’t collect these, but the box art on all of them makes me want to. They are gorgeous, and sadly, they flopped at the time.

Haunted Castle Bagatelle (sponsored link) —

I really don’t have any backstory or era on this, but I love the artwork, which reminds me a lot of Don Bluth movies.

Mego Mice Hockey Board Game (sponsored link) —

Currently, I’m working with a friend on a website about board games produced by Mego Corp. During the 1970s, they attempted to diversify their product lines and released some wacky games. I’m not sure any of them were a hit but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be talked about. As a Mego fan and board game junkie/collector, even I don’t know much about these, so I’m learning as I go.

Mego Planet of the Apes Display at an Alexander’s Department store in 1976.

If you look closely you’ll see someone has slipped Grandma Walton into the jail cell along with General Urko.

That’s likely because the Mego Walton’s house display is next to it; you can see the Walton’s Truck in this shot.

The Mego Waltons appear to be looking for Grandma, little do they know she’s trapped in the post nightmarish future run by Apes!
