Bionic Woman Paint Set (sponsored link)-

I post this because one of my favourite daydreams is to create an art gallery of all the finished Paint By Numbers sets I’ve seen in Antique Malls over the years. I’ve bought a couple for my daughter, but yeah, if I had scary money, this would be a problem…

Whacky Package Pants (sponsored link)

I really can’t get over how much Whacky Package merchadise there was out there, I’ve shown patches and t-shirts on this feature before but PANTS? I didn’t know they were at “Hee-Haw Levels!”

Awesome 70s Sci-Fi Trash Bin (sponsored link)-

My friend Courtney sent me this and I couldn’t stop staring at it. I always like to put this kind of no-name stuff out there in case someone is looking for this thing from childhood.

There are a whole bunch of weird childhood things I’m looking for. I will find you someday, Captain Whizzo T-Shirt!

Big Jim Double Trouble Adventure Set -Sponsored Link

This seller has more than one of these and I’ve been circling around one like a vulture. I don’t need any more Big Jim toys, but on the same token, I don’t have this set, and I have always thought this idea was just so bad ass.

Everything turns into a gun in this series, and I can’t believe I’ve never seen a jackhammer convert into a machine gun in a movie. It’s been just sitting there waiting for 50 years……

Fun World set of 3 Great Americans Figures– Sponsored Link

I have a soft spot for these Mego Knock Off figures, although at this time I only have the Lincoln, and yeah, he’s with my Star Trek Mego stuff. The bodies are kinda Cheap-o but the sculpts and outfits show some care, boy have I seen worse.

The post Mego Avengers Set Review – Mego Museum Mint Off Card appeared first on PS.

I’m still going through photos from ZoloCon earlier this month, and I missed talking about a few items. I just remembered why I took so many photos of this at my friend Mark Huckabone’s booth.

The Tri-Star M*A*S*H toyline came onto the scene when I was pretty into the GI Joe RAH toy line, thanks to that wonderful comic. I’m a notorious cherry picker of action figure lines as a kid; I only had Crystar himself, one Muppet Show (Gonzo), and….. Hawkeye Pierce. I watched M*A*S*H episodes back-to-back every day on the little black-and-white TV in my bedroom as a kid (on City TV channel 79).

I can’t say the toy line impressed me at that age. I remember friends taking me to see the “Klinger in a dress” figure in the toy department. We were old enough to wonder why a toy company would even do that. Klinger no longer did that on the show since the 1970s. It was our first taste of ironic humour; these figures almost reached “Love Boat” levels of mockery with my friends on mall trips (WHERE WE WENT BY OURSELVES BTW!)

But I caved and bought a Hawkeye. I thought it would work, but at that age, I don’t know if I was playing so much or acting out the comics. Also, I was 12 and impulsive.

It didn’t work; his grimace ruined every “Scene” in my head. He even looked elated when Cobra killed him. I vowed never to buy any more Mash figures; I had “buyer’s remorse.”

However, the Vehicles looked cool as hell, and I always wanted the MASH Helicopter as a toy, dating back to an early memory. However, I couldn’t abide their “Generic 4077 Soldier Man,” who was not only just Hawkeye again but also a mustard-blonde, no-eyebrows man.

It pained me that the entire M*A*S*H cast, even a simple background soldier, had to be smiling as if the Joker had just visited the 4077 and put Smylex in Hawkeye’s still.

I could live with myself with having one chuckling character, but I was not letting this grinning homunculus into my home.

It’s a silly thing to me now, and honestly, even when I saw that helicopter on closeout, it didn’t matter because there was this new toy line called “Dungeons and Dragons” that, despite my never successfully having ever played the game, was my last childhood toy line. It was perfect for a middle school kid.

Bootleg Stretch Armstrong (sponsored link) —

This is probably a mid-90s item, but I still really dig its incredible crassness. More toys should have “FEEL MY SKIN” on them. That’s fun. That head looks like it’s from another KO item, any ideas hive mind?

Dracula Electronic Hand Held Game (sponsored link)

This was a Japanese game called “Dracula’s Castle,” but this is a US release, and the Dracula on the box appears to be Bobby Moinahan.

The original joke for this was character actor Kenneth MacMillan; this guy looks just like him, but who would get that reference? I even had to look him up. He’s in “Heartbeeps,” which probably doesn’t help matters. 

Either way, that Dracula is from New Jersey.

Prototype Star Trek Decantaur (sponsored link)

My friend Corey sent me this, and he had the better joke about this being about “The Captain’s Log,” while I just wondered why Michael Cera is there. All of this has Spock especially concerned.  This piece is magical, and I’m better for seeing it.

There is also a prototype Kirk head decanter that doubles as Michael Myers?

Hee Haw Purse (sponsored link) –

Mexican Ultra-Man Pinball Bagatell (sponsored link) —

I am a man of many predilections and obsessions, and one of them is when Japanese shows get merch in other countries. I don’t know what it is about stuff like this, but it always grabs my attention. I don’t if Ultraman Ace was shown in Mexico, I actually am not sure how much of it I’ve ever watched. I just really think this thing is special.

 

HG Toys Buck Rogers set (sponsored link) —

I got into a discussion about this set with my friend Matt, who claimed it was the Buck Rogers utility belt, and I countered that Remco made one. Then I started thinking about it, and the Remco belt is super lazy, even for them, so yeah, I gotta give it to HG who even gave you a l’il Twiki!

 

Captain Caveman Plush (sponsored link) –

Courtney sent me this, and I love it. I can’t really remember his show, I think it was just a Scooby Doo rehash but the character himself, I just think he’s the tops.

Vintage Darth Vader on Black Velvet (sponsored link) —

I honestly couldn’t do better.

Knock-Off Sunshine Family figures by K Mart (sponsored link) —

As much as the Sunshine Family famously creep me out, I’ve been watching this thing for a month since my friend Rob sent it to me.

I almost pulled the trigger when the seller sent me an offer.

It’s the “Helter Skelter/Old P0rn0” vibes it gives off, I just sort of love this “Alternate timeline” toy line that you can buy weed from.

An update from the Lincoln Monsters Laboratory, my friends!

Our Backerkit survey/Pre-order store has been approved!. Emails started going out tonight to our backers of the Monster Maker Kickstarter campaign. If you are a backer and didn’t receive an email today, no worries, your email will be sent tomorrow.

Remember, there are several new items in the Backerkit Store (including the Mad Mini Monsters and Monsters of Legend Wave 2) that you can add to your order. The Backerkit store will open to everyone very soon. Thanks for your support!

In the meantime, enjoy some fun pictures from the factory. We are dialling in the details on the monster reanimator table. The factory used one of Jason’s Strike Force Alpha figures to show off the newest prototype.

The Archie Plush doll (sponsored link)-

I had the ad for this toy, which I think was mail order only, in an old hand-me-down Archie comic as a kid. As an adult collector, I have never run into one and kind of stopped looking. My friend Courtney (who always sends me coolness) sent me this auction the other day and wow, there it is. It’s exactly as advertised, and I wish I could justify its purchase.

 

Sesame Street Ernie Iron-On Transfer (sponsored link) —

Much like Star Wars, I really love the frantic energy of early merchandise like this; the image is pure fun and creative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lincoln Monsters Monster Maker line continues with the Mad Mini Monsters! These will be available for preorder to current backers on January 11th at 7pm EST on Backerkit. Then it will open up to everyone later in January. Stay tuned, Monster fans, more details coming soon!

 

 

Durham’s Ranger Action Figure (sponsored link) —

I did a piece on these figures for Toy-Ventures magazine and, in doing so, developed an affection for this goofy series. Durham made these little guys with push-button action for stores like Ben Franklin and Woolworths. There are some nods to pop culture with a character that looks like a young Kwai Chang Caine and an ersatz Evel Knievel. The line is relatively low-cost to collect, and certain figures never pop up, so if you’re into dime-store toys that won’t break the bank, this is the hunt for you!

“The Black Hole” vintage t-shirt for kids (sponsored link) –
I was obsessed with the Black Hole as a fourth grader; it was really a big deal to me, and I would have rocked this!

Star Fleet / X-Bomber merchandise (sponsored link) –

I got hooked on Star Fleet thanks to that awesome Brian May video in the early 1980s and I tracked down the series after. It’s a Japanese puppet show heavily inspired by Gerry Anderson, which was popular in the UK (Aka the land of Gerry Anderson) and I could look at the merch all day long.
