Official “The Fonz” Comb (eBay affiliate Link) —

Well, this is not at all screen-accurate. Like, the Fonz would use something with his name printed on it. Sorry, I’m just pretending there was an internet in 1976.

(I know technically there was, but you get what I’m doing.)

Snoopy Paratrooper (eBay Affiliate Link) –

Even Snoopy was getting into the Parachuting Rack Toy game, and well, it makes sense, seeing as he’s a World War 1 fighter pilot and all. 

Space:1999 The Towel! (eBay Affiliate Link) —

After a shower, don’t you want to wrap yourself in buff Martin Landau fresh from the dryer? I know I want to.

Star Trek Shuttle Craft Shirt (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Not to open any wounds from the Star Trek/Space:1999 wars of 1976 but this pajama shirt featuring a copy of the AMT Shuttle craft model kit will haunt me.

Star World Space Rifle (eBay Affiliate Link) —

This is the item formerly known as the Star Trek Tracer Rifle, repackaged for Star Wars as a smart company would. It’s a winning design and a fun toy.

Charlie’s Angels Target Set (eBay Link) –

This is a bit of a head-scratcher, it almost feels like you’re going to shoot the Angels. I figure it’s time to make a controversial statement and that is, Kelly is the best Angel. There, I said it, no offence to Farrah or the brainy one but it’s true. It’s a stone-cold fact.

Super Fun Sesame Street Needlepoint (eBay Link) –

OMG I love this, if I owned this there wouldn’t be a day where I didn’t touch Bert’s hair for good luck.

1977 The Hulk Vs The Thing Shirt (eBay  Link) –

Another in the never-ending line of badass children’s shirts I didn’t know existed. I’m “team Ben Grimm” all the way BTW. It’s Clobbering time!

Megabug Gladiators Mega Spider (eBay Link) –

Kenner Megabug Gladiators, is my favourite toy line from childhood that I didn’t know about. I can’t tell you how bummed I was to discover this post-childhood. It’s a Charles Band movie that comes to life, why the hell do I not own these?

Escape from New York game (eBay Link) –

Speaking of “why don’t I own this?” here’s a game based on a movie I adore that I don’t own. I must rectify this before the next family game tourney!

 
 ISSUE 9 of Toy-Ventures is now available, and for a limited time, get a free Key Ring of the Mangler.

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

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

The idea of promoting “Star Trek The Motion Picture” with pajamas is kind of loaded, the film almost put me to sleep as a kid and the crew looked like they were all in their pajamas, so it’s a bit of a comedy goldmine.

Thanks to my friend Corey, we get an amazing glimpse at this long forgotten promotion from Mars.

$4.50 seems like a lot, I wonder how successful this promotion was.

You had your choice of Spock or Enterprise, William Shatner could be heard sobbing.

Here are the PJ’s you got, note the classic TV depiction of the characters with the movie logo.

Say what you will about the motion picture, it had some sweet art.

Many thanks to Corey for sharing this little bit of “Trek history”.

The post Satin Jammies appeared first on PS.

Oh Legend of the Lone Ranger, you had such big ambition, you even knocked Batman out of the selection this year.

The post Pajamas: 1981 appeared first on PS.

Obscure Pajamas are some of my favourite things to find, also it’s a killer band name.

The post Tron Pajamas appeared first on PS.

I’d be that kid and want Space:1999 over Trek.

The post Pajamas: 1977 appeared first on PS.

The post From Mickey Mouse to Star Wars appeared first on PS.

It’s commonplace now but I think it’s really cool that they made this design for boys and girls. I’m married to a Star Wars fan who was denied many cool toys because “it was considered a boy’s thing”.
