Sanchezstein’s Monster (sponsored link) —

Ok, so this auction ended while I was writing this, and I also failed to win it. I have no idea what program this little devil is from, but I love that a monster toy like this exists.

I mean, the “Sanchezstein’s Monster” is such a cool name, and this gives me “Carry On” vibes.

StingRay Troy Tempest play suit by Dekkertoys (sponsored link) —-

The Gerry Anderson brand had a renaissance in the mid-90s UK. The consumers were mainly kids, so a lot of fun toys and action figures got made that had them in mind. It was so fun! I had never seen these brilliant play suits. There are several characters, but the Troy Tempest set has me smitten. 

Whitman Super-Villains Catwoman puzzle (Sponsored Link) —

I have never seen this puzzle before, and I hope it’s part of a series. The art isn’t likely swiped from a comic but an original creation. 

It makes me smile that Batman is nowhere to be seen; it’s the battle of Catwoman VS Robin, like he stands a chance.

Talking Ghost Target Game set (sponsored link) —

Another 70s toy and toy company I’ve never heard of, will wonders never cease? I’m a sucker for art like that.

Topps Flying Things counter display (sponsored link) —

I think these things predate me, but wow, I would have so been there. I even made a Toy-Ventures flying glider a couple of years back.

RARE Vintage Amusement Ride Flying Butterfly Bug Insect

Vintage Amusement Park Ride Car (sponsored link) ––

I don’t know where I would put it, but I’d love to wake up and see something from a carnival every day. I don’t think I’ve ever not been happy to see one. 

Arco Space Target Set (sponsored link) —

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to compile all the discount Darth Vaders and Storm Troopers we got from 77 until….I guess now.

Inflatable Vending Machine Monsters (Sponsored link)—

The seller has a couple of these; the imaginative monster designs are so emblematic of the era. 

The Avengers Emma Peel Doll by Fairylight (sponsored link) ––

This is a pretty incredible lot of Fairylight Emma Peel dolls, and these are the subject of a great article in Toy-Ventures Issue 5, coincidentally, written by the seller. 

Martian Chronicles Poster (sponsored link) —

I have always been fond of the Martian Chronicles TV mini series; although it’s slow at times and some effects are not dazzling, it still does justice to many of the tales. The primary reason I like this series is its sense of style, and this poster really showcases that. I’ve wanted it for decades, but I’d either have to take down a poster or build a new house.

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.

Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures Magazine will feature the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalogue, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.

Dracula Plush (sponsored link) 

I’ve always admired this guy from 1978, the little coffin box, the widow’s peak to end all widow’s peaks, but I’ve never seen one in person. 

Super Stars Cosmic Cylon Bubbles (sponsored link) 

Larami toys went apesh*t on the Battle Star Galactica license but it was mainly label slapped rack toys. They did however sculpt this awesome Cylon bubble lid and kept using it long after Galactica left our airwaves…

Ultra cool Monster Black Light poster (sponsored link) 

Is it just me, or does the guy with the match look like Jack Palance?

Fonzie Dry Erase Board (sponsored link)

For a good time, call this dry-erase board.  Before the internet, bathroom walls were the original 4chan.

Planet of the Apes vending machine (sponsored link) —

You know, I’m at a point in collecting where I really only have space for little things but then this gut-punch of nostalgia mixed with Mego and Planet of the Apes comes in and has me wondering if I could sneak this into the rumpus room….

ABOUT LINCOLN MONSTERS

A vintage toy brand is rising from the grave! “Lincoln Monsters” is a new collaboration from White Elephant Toyz, Absolutely Retro and Plaid Stallions, who have joined forces to make dimestore retro monsters. The name is inspired by the legendary knock-off toy company Lincoln International. However, Lincoln Monsters reimagines the company as a 70s third-rate film studio, making exploitation and copying horror trends. Each Lincoln Monster release and creation will center around a fictional movie from Lincoln International Studios, premiering with The Evil of Count Dracula.

The 8″ Evil of Count Dracula figure will be on a type S body, with a look inspired by the past but retaining the LM house style.

Each Evil of Dracula figure will come in a gorgeous solid box with artwork by Chris Franklin depicting the gorey poster for the movie made to cash in on Hammer horror. Like all good horror shows, this is a double bill as Lincoln Monsters will also release “The Power of Frankenstein,” featuring a stunning poster by Chris Franklin. “Our goal is to create well-made figures inspired by cheap knock-offs,” explains White Elephant Toyz Jason Schiermeyer who adds, “At a collector-friendly price point.” Subsequent releases from Lincoln Monsters will include original male and female character designs that cross multiple film genres from Science Fiction, Horror and Exploitation. The fictional Lincoln studio was known to dabble in Gothic Horror, Ozsplotation, Philippine Drive-In movies and Italian rip-offs.

70s Kung Fu Board Game (eBay Link) —

I’ve had this thing on my watchlist for weeks, it’s so damned wonderful. It is a total collage of what the inside of my head looked like at 11. I just don’t know where I’d put all this stuff.

Display box of Vintage Monster Rings (eBay Link) —

Speaking of “where would I put it” are these gorgeous Monster Rings. It’s this kind of stuff that always got me as a kid and well, here I am! 

Italian AHI Parachuting Batman (eBay Link) —

I actually have the Superman version of this; it’s basically one of the multiple copies of the officially licensed AHI parachutist figures. This one comical for the “Bong!” logo which I’m guessing means “Bong” in Italian.

Filmation Star Trek Puzzles (eBay Link) —

Actual merchandise based on the Filmation Star Trek series is few and far between, this set of puzzles is one of the few I know of. I just find the art adorable.

Japanese Stretch Monster (eBay Link) —

This is a minature version of Japan’s “Stretch Andro” their take on Stretch Monster. Which is the subject of issue 12 of Toy-Ventures magazine. I’d love to own one of these, but they’re like Faberge eggs to me. I think it’s beautiful but the expense is like kryptonite.

Mattel Slime with Worms commercial (eBay Link) —

I never had slime as a kid, well, not “official Mattel brand” Slime; I did manage some through a grocery store vending machine (so good!) For some reason, I vividly remember this commercial and really wanting the stuff. In hindsight, this sort of thing is almost impossible to ignore when you’re six. 

The Aliens figure (eBay Link)—

These Shogun Warrior knock off figures came out in the late 1970s and are absolutely charming. I’m personally in love with the logo.

Bootleg Visitor ship from “V” (eBay Link)–

We sure did robbed of officially licensed V toys in the 1980s but wow, did bootleggers try to fill that void. I love these little shuttle replicas and the seller has a whole bunch of options. I’ve also heard there is a segment on bootleg V action figures in the latest issue of Toy-Ventures. I know a guy there.

Black Velvet Bruce Lee (eBay Link) —

I don’t think I really need to explain this; it speaks for itself. For those not into Kung Fu, may I offer you this hilarious off-brand Black Velvet Tweety Bird?

Jaws era Shark Puzzle (eBay Link) –

I can’t honestly tell if I like official “Jaws” merchandise more than “Generic Shark meant to look like Jaws” merchandise. They’re both kind of awesome.
