The post Pod Stallions Shorts: New TV shows for 1978 appeared first on PS.

Remco Lost in Space Helmet (eBay Link) —

Before AHI took them over, REMCO were the absolute kings of licensed label slapping. This helmet is every bit as goofy as the Star Trek one, trouble is, it did look like a prop from Lost in Space.

Knock-Off Spock Ears (eBay Link)—

Oh Mr. Martian looks like he’s Mr. Rock’s cousin, love Knock-Off Spocks!

Trouble Man BLackLight Poster

I’ve never seen the film but I do love the soundtrack. Ever see something and realize it probably belonged to someone really cool?

70s Incredible Hulk Pez Dispenser (eBay Link)–

For some reason, I’ve never really gotten into pez. I own one single dispensor but man, seeing that SuperHero displays at the deli as a kid, it’s so vivid. One of these days…

Mork and Mindy Button Store Display (eBay Link) –

I really miss pop culture buttons on a display counter like these.
