Palitoy Action Girl Movie set (sponsored link)

Palitoy’s Action Girl was a really cool line of articulated fashion dolls with some interesting “Super Sets” including a space themed one this is wicked cool!

The idea of a fashion doll filming a historical drama shows a genuine care in creating an enjoyable and unique environment with these sets. 

Mayor McCheese Slippers (sponsored link)

So, when I was a kid, my grandparents had a shoe store in our local mall and they actually sold these! I desperately wanted a set but my parents told me they didn’t order in my size. Now, I just accepted that as a kid and haven’t thought of it since, but I do have a sneaking suspicion that my parents just thought they were ugly. I’m guessing that I’ll never find them in a 15 wide now.

McGruff the Crime Dog Table Ware (sponsored link)

Now you can not only take a bite out of crime but also a sip? I got nothing, google what happened to the McGruff voice actor if you haven’t already…

Sesame Street Grover Necklace (sponsored link)

My favourite Muppet of all time is Grover, it’s impossible for me to not smirk when I see him. I named my dog (a girl) “Grover” as a kid and my mother’s reading of the “Monster at the end of the book” inspired me to top it for my kids. Grover rules but let’s face it, he’s a crappy waiter.

Harlem Globetrotters Wizzard Wheel (sponsored link)

My friend Matt sent me this and I dig this beautiful and very 70s card art. The Globetrotters cartoon was a fave around these parts. It even inspired me to shoot hoops in my driveway for the entirety of the late 70s. I suck!

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.

Mattel Tarzan figure set (Sponsored Link) —

I think this may be one of my favourite ’70s figure sets ever. I mean that sincerely. I grew up with Big Jim, and the Filmation Tarzan cartoon is still a passion of mine. To get my set, I had to negotiate with my long-time friend Mark until 3 a.m in a crappy Toronto airport hotel. Sometimes, the stories become intertwined with the toy, and that’s why we collect.

Here’s a video I did on the set.

Bionic Woman Bank (sponsored link) —

I don’t run into figural banks much here in Canada (other than Col. Sanders, which, OMG, did everyone in the country get one?), and that’s probably a good thing because I am powerless against them. I am worried it will be a repeat of the “Blow Mold Obsession” with these banks, and well, I don’t have any more room.

Totally pumped about Mego Meet next Week! I’ll be there handing out Lincoln Monsters Buttons and spritzing with you samples of  my new cologne “Mantooth.” It’s a vitriolic stench but once you used to it, you’ll be fine.

Original art for MTC Blue Thunder toy (Sponsored Link) –

I fondly remember the MTC Blue Thunder gathering dust at Toys R Us next to the Arco V guns as a teen. This isn’t my grail but I sure do think it’s swell. Toy packaging art was the reason I ever picked up a paint brush and it made my life better.

Shogun Warriors Suspenders (Sponsored eBay Link) —

I’m not sure what the connection to Raideen is here, also isn’t that the flag  of Germany?

Fred Flintstone Parachuting Rack Toy (Sponsored eBay Link) —

As silly as these things can be, I haven’t verified anything but I’m certain Fred Flinstone jumped out of a plane at least once. Yes, I’m trying to justify this thing.

Gor King of the Terrons from the UK (sponsored link) 

I have a well-known Hasbro Super Joe addiction, and even sweeter is the line in its UK packaging. Dubbed “Commander Power” in England, Super Joe didn’t do well there either, but LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS BOX. I want it but can’t afford it right now. It’s good to want things though.

Doctor Who Action Letraset (sponsored eBay link)–\

This one tasks me, even though some kid already did the transfers, I think that adds to the mystique. I don’t know who drew these things but they were amazing and I love this so much.

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

Spider-Man and Captain America Richochet Racers (eBay Link) —

I’ve never owned these toys but have always been obsessed with them since I saw them at my friend Richard’s House. None of it makes sense and none of it has to, I always loved the comic book ad for this, it also makes zero sense, even to a kid.

AHI Planet of the Apes Zing Wing

AHI Planet of the Apes Zing Wing (eBay Link) —

AHI Sold a lot of Zing-Wings based on pop culture, like Star Trek and Spider-Man. The word “Frisbee” was the one we all used but all the other toy companies had to make up their own word. 

Tomland Bionic Woman Knock Off (eBay Link) —

For those not in the know, Tomland Toys was a company not exactly all that concerned about lawsuits. Case in point, they produced the second most galling copyright theft next to “Mr. Rock” by Lincoln International. “Sonic Woman” was a Bionic Woman clone. She wears a red track suit and has two silver limbs. I love her. 

Here is our Sonic Man and Woman episode of Toy-Ventures in case you missed it.

Bootleg Carnival Plush C3-PO (eBay Link) —

I don’t have words. I’m not a big Star Wars guy, but I am a fan of bootlegs and Carnivals (and, as an aside, Corndogs), so as Khan said, “It Tasks Me!” But I’m probably going to forget about it.

Fireball XL-5 Paper Dolls (eBay Link) —

I’m too young for Gerry Anderson’s Fireball X-L5, but I admire its mid-century “retro-future” charm. It’s so delightful. I know the entire theme tune and love seeing the detail in the merchandise. Lovely stuff but I don’t really know the series all that well.

Milton Brady Pink Lady (Minus Jeff) Boardgame (eBay Link) —

“Pink Lady” were a Japanese sensation before they got their variety series in the US. What blows my mind more here is not that they got a game but that Milton Bradley was also doing board games in Japan? I learned today! I deserve a reward of some kind!

Mego Klingon Card Variant (eBay Link) —

I guess for a brief time in the UK, Palitoy ran out of Klingon Cards and just created this jazzy sticker to go over it. Just a running change in a company’s day-to-day problem solving, now an insane adult collectible. I won’t make fun; I love this sort of thing, and the Mego Klingon is a brilliant action figure.

Kenner Knight Rider and Street Hawk in 1985 Palitoy Catalog-

As a fan of the short-lived television series “Street Hawk,” I was excited to discover some unproduced toy items hidden in the pages of this 1985 Palitoy/Parker Brothers catalogue.  The series launched that year in the US and would be cancelled after 13 episodes.

Kenner, we already had a toy hit with Knight Rider (see above), which Street Hawk was definitely patterned after and swept up the rights.

Kenner Knight Rider and Street Hawk in 1985 Palitoy Catalog-

Kenner did manage to get the Motorcycle to store shelves but the action figures and playsets would not make it to the market. For a sample of what that would have looked like, this seller has the Street Hawk Norman Tuttle prototype. 

The planned Kenner Street Hawk figures didn’t come to fruition but thanks to Play Skool  in India and Glasslite of Brazil, we did get an “O Ring” Jessie Mach and Street Hawk.

The post Kenner Street Hawk and Knight Rider- 1985 Palitoy Catalog appeared first on PS.

The Palitoy collecting community has a very unique opportunity to come together and help rescue more than 100 lost Palitoy television advertisements.

Currently there is an Action Man enthusiast who is in possession of 3 rolls of original 35mm film prints that contain 103 Palitoy TV adverts from the 1970s and these advertisements feature many popular vintage Palitoy brands such as Action Man, Pippa and Friends, Playdoh, Star Wars, Pocketeers, Tiny Tears, Ricochet Racers, Mego Star Trek, Mego Planet of the Apes, Mego Commander Power, Baby Alive and Little Big Man to name but a few.

While this library of commercials does include many advertisements that are already available on the internet (albeit in much lower quality) there are also numerous TV adverts that have not been made available digitally since they were first aired on British television in the 1970s.

When the owner of these film prints took possession of them a number a years ago they had them professionally cleaned up and digitally scanned at a 2k quality by a professional studio and they paid for this service out of their own pocket. This person is now offering these adverts to the wider community but they understandably need to recoup some of their original investment.

Our aim is to secure these original film prints and the 2K quality digital transfers but first we need to reach our £5,000 funding goal (AUD$9,500 – USD$6,500).

If our funding goal is reached by 12pm GMT on the 24th June 2023, the current owner of these adverts will hand over the original film prints to former Palitoy Chief Toy Designer Bob Brechin who will then donate them to the Coalville Heritage Society and the 2K quality digital scans will be uploaded to a non-monetised YouTube channel for the whole Palitoy collecting community to enjoy.

You have a terrific opportunity here to help rescue a valuable piece of Palitoy history and all sponsors that donate £100 or more will have their name credited on a title card that will appear at the end of each Palitoy TV advertisement when it is uploaded to YouTube.

So let’s band together, raise the funds required to secure these original television advertisements and help preserve the history of Palitoy.

Mego Comic Action Heroes Board Game

When I was putting together issue 10 of Toy-Ventures magazine’s Mego Comic Action Heroes guide, I almost forgot to add this fantastic oddity from the United Kingdom. What’s worse is I’ve owned a copy for over 25 years, finding it in a London (Ontario) thrift shop and it was less than ten feet away from me. I wanted to show more images than I did but the space wasn’t available, so I thought I’d follow up with a post.

Mego Comic Action Heroes Board Game

Denys Fisher (then owned by Palitoy) released this board game to coincide with the Mego Comic Action Heroes toys to launch in the UK. It’s a curiousity as it features some odd and off-model DC characters. The artist didn’t have reliable reference material for Shazam and may have been drawing him based on the Mego figure, which was hardly faithful either.

Mego Comic Action Heroes Board Game

It also features characters like the Riddler (who was excluded in the Comic Action Heroes) and Mr. Freeze in his only appearance in Mego-related products.

Mego Comic Action Heroes Board Game

The game has your heroes trying to get to Gotham City Hall to have a showdown with…The Penguin. Yup, he’s the boss level in this, it seems kind of cruel sending Superman to beat up Oswald Cobblepot, but here we are.

Mego Comic Action Heroes Board Game

I’ve taken some shots of the board, to showcase some of the artwork; some of it I’ve seen in merchandising before, but others, yeah, I’ve never seen them used like this.

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got nine issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.

The Mego Museum News has rebranded into the Super Collector Newsletter! Encompassing more from sites like PlaidStallions and more. Check it out even if you don’t collect Mego figures.

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.

The PlaidStallions Polyester Pals have arrived and come in green and orange. Be the first kid in the sandbox with our Podcast mascots!

Our latest book is “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” a love letter to cheeky copyright-infringing toys. You can get this new book via the PlaidStallions Shop, On Amazon (Affiliate Link) or eBay (eBay Link)
