Our Ways Studios Marvel Comics Stickers (sponsored link) ––

These things will always stop me in my tracks with their wonderful power. Even though I never could finish a Conan comic, my Marvel Universe includes him. I’m a product of my time.

Mummy Flashlight (sponsored link) —

This appears to be a little out of my collecting date range but that Mummy is so reminiscent of later Hammer stuff, it strikes a nerve.

Wonder Woman Roller Skates (sponsored link) —

When I did my Fan Expo panels about weird Superhero merchandise with my pal Sam Noir, I would always get a big laugh out of these and sadly, more Wonder Woman merchandise. In hindsight, honestly, nobody looked good in these Larami Rollerskates, and Wonder Woman isn’t even the worst one.

Imperial Toys Congo Gorilla (sponsored link) —

I love this toy but normally these were sold tagged and not carded, so I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it before like this.

Aviva Star Trek The Motion Picture Water Pistol (sponsored link) —

A friend of mine brought me a couple of these from a vacation in the 80s, yes we still talk. Next to the Mego line this is one of my favourite pieces from the motion picture, it’s crazy faithful for a cheap toy. I just wish they’d have used them more in the movie!

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

The Lincoln International Monsters are one of my favourite childhood memories, and I always want to find ways to work with them. I designed each pin based on the original packaging art I’m utterly infatuated with.

The idea came because I wanted to make a set of Lincoln Monster pins for myself, and it spiralled from there. The factory I used for this was quite excellent.  I’m elated with their quality and look. Sometimes you make things for yourself, but you also want to share. You can get the Lincoln Monsters individually or as a unique carded set while supplies last.

It was also really fun laying out that card. I wanted to make it like a gumball machine card as much as possible, but my Rack Toy biases ultimately won. 

The Lincoln Monsters pins are available at our store or on eBay.

Lincoln Monsters Collector Pin Series

I’ve also made a few other collectible pins based on knockoffs and characters from this website. Look for a few more designs coming very soon.

King Kong Socks (eBay Link)-  I think the 70s Kong remake isn’t as memorable as a film as it is a poster. That thing is iconic!

Destination Inner Space Super 8 Movie (eBay Link)– Destination Inner Space seemed to play on Buffalo 29 every other weekend, alternating with “Castle of Evil”, when I was a kid. It’s got a cool, memorable monster, some terrible model effects and well that’s about it.

MPC Mummy Machine I’m not big on car models or cars in general but this thing is killer. I wish it were a real vehicle.

Wind up Creature from the Black Lagoon I remember when these came out, I never understood why they weren’t more popular. I’d fill a house with tin robot toys if I didn’t have 50 other obsessions. At 75 this thing is a freaking bargain, seller has a Mummy too.

The post Toy Ventures Issue 1 review by Geeking Poetic appeared first on PS.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without me waxing poetic about my favourite monster toy line of all time, the Lincoln Monsters.


This year I came across one of my absolute grails, in the form of finding the 1976 Galoob toys catalog. Although Galoob was later known for licensed items  and things such as Micro Machines, 1976 saw them as more of an importer of Hong Kong novelties including items produced by Lincoln International.

Here they are featured among the Lincoln Action Soldier toys and other Rack Toy merchandise. Galoob was definitely the the company that got the following memorable Montgomery Ward’s catalog spread from 1976:

One of my favourite monster toys of all time is the Remco Monsterizer, even though it doesn’t a have ton of play value, it’s just such a nice and thoughtful prop.


I was happy to discover that mine actually worked the other day and it inspired me to make this little video short all about it. Special thanks to my ever patient assistant, my daughter for her hand modelling. Hope you enjoy it!

This episode tries to discuss as much as possible about the man and his exhaustive career, the hammer horror days, James Bond, Space:1999, Captain Invincible, Starship Invasions and that time he fought Captain America.


 We, of course, digress into a discussion about action figures, Doctor Who, Peter Cushing and much, much more.
