Chem-Toy Halloween “People Pieces” (sponsored link) —

It “Pants-Wettingly Terrifying” was the goal here, Mission Accomplished. This guy is showing up in my dreams. 

Vintage Fisher Price Little People Juice Glass (sponsored link) —

This is new to me, not sure they ever sold these in Canada. I’d like to think I’d remember that face.

AHI Batman Penguin Stunt Cycle (sponsored link) —

While I love AHI Rack Toys , I do draw the line on collecting the Superhero Stunt cycles (The Planet of the Apes ones are pricey enough) but seeing the Penguin on a chopper is rather silly. Like a lot of collectors I wish AHI had created a few monster super cycles. It’s just money on the table….

Mego Micronauts Sharkos (sponsored link)

I associate the Micronauts with Christmas, and every year I treat myself to a piece.

2025 will not be the year I buy Sharkos, I already spent that money (more on that later). Sharkos is a scarce Micronauts Aliens vehicle that was sold mainly in Italy and Canada. If it had a box with Ken Kelly art on it like the earlier vehicles, I’d be more tempted to buy it. It’s always bugged me, almost as much as Antron piloting when Repto or Lobros would be more appropriate.

I hope everyone read that in “Comic Book Guy” voice.

Peter Davison Doctor Who Puzzle (sponsored link) —

I enjoyed that Peter Davison’s era sparked new Doctor Who merchandise, as Doctor Who was my first foray into organized fandom. While I still am mixed about that era of Doctor Who, I’ve mellowed in my opinion of it but I’ll still never give “Kinda” another watch.

BONUS ! THE BIG REGERT!

As some might know, my friend Courtney often contributes to this and sends me links. This one is going to haunt me for a while. 

These…. MASTERPIECES….sold for less than $100 for the pair. I am filled with an incredible rage right now.

Links are sponsored, opinions are my own.

Bootleg Star Wars X-Wing Model (sponsored link) —

If there was anything that screamed “1979,” it’s this thing. We were so awash in weird X Wings and Tie Fighters at the time. I like this design better than most.

The Adventures of Metal-Man Flying Saucer (sponsored link) —

These Metal Man vehicle sets are an obsession of mine (I put the video below), and this, to me, is the best set they made. Radon and his Flying Saucer is my favourite, and this set even still have the dome the figure is in. Someday, I will own one of those domes…..

Japanese Popeye Model Kit (sponsored link) —

Now Popeye is no stranger to merchandise, but a model kit is a new one for me, especially from Japan! It’s motorized because Japanese kids enjoy building their own toys. What a nice pallet cleanser for the week!

Chicklets Play Pal (sponsored link)–

It’s gum! It’s a toy! It’s Play pal! We run an article about these and Chewgum Warriors in Toy-Ventures issue 7. I don’t think that gum is still good, it would probably mess people up.

Message from Space Sticker Album (sponsored link) —

So this sticker book is based off the “Message from Space” TV Spin Off “Galactic Wars: which did get syndicated to other countries and spawning merch. When I was in the 6th grade, a kid from my class went to South America and brought back tons of these cards. They blew my mind. I’d seen “Message from Space,” but there were Apes and other aliens on these cards, nowhere to be seen in the movie. I actually bought the cards from him and still have a couple. It’s so cool to see the booklet finally.

Also, there was a dubbed compilation movie called “Sword of the Space Ark” or “Space Ninjas”. If you have a copy, please get in touch with me as I would really like to watch it.

The Inter-Changables CEDM (sponsored link)

The Inter-Changables were made using the Micronauts tooling that was retained after Mego Corp folded. These rolled into town just as I was “Supposed” to stop caring about toys (didn’t stick), and it’s a whole “thing’ with me now. I stared at these things for almost 20 years, always finding an excuse, and now it’s as if none of them survived.

1979 Incredible Hulk Belt Buckle (sponsored link) —

I love goofing on vintage belt buckles, especially when they’re for characters not known for their fashion sense. Ol’ Purple Pants is what we like to call our “best case scenario” on the “Goof-O-Meter” I built for my 7th-grade science fair. Yeah, I failed. Why do you ask?

The Remco Power Shield Captain America art slide (sponsored link) —

This isn’t original art per se, but it is something the Studio likely used to sell their services. I don’t collect the Remco Powerized Superheroes, but this is still one of my favourite Superheroes…

A display box of Imperial Godzillas (sponsored link)

At my most recent panel about Monster Toys, I made a statement about the Imperial Godzilla most likely being bootlegged forever. I couldn’t cite a reference at the time, but I sure would have bet money on it. This thing proves me right, thankfully, and this one isn’t even tryin’.

Condorman promotional mask (sponsored link) —

As a kid, I really wanted Condorman to be a movie like Superman, where the hero was taken seriously. Nope, it was mainly a spy spoof that the world didn’t order. I never totally got over that, so I mostly lament the ice cream flavour.  It’s also kind of weird how this mask has an “Eyes Wide Shut” vibe going on. That mask might prove a bit of a distraction at an orgy…
