Issue 12 of Toy-Ventures will have a Stretch Monster theme with interviews with the toy’s creator, Mr. Tim Efler, and the “kid on the box,” Mike Seta. Sporting a jaw-dropping cover by Peter Carsillo, this issue also features the craziest “subscriber prize” we’ve ever attempted. More on this next week during the Lincoln Monster DeadStream. […]

The Hamburglar’s Autograph (eBay Link) — My friend Courtney sent me this, and well, I didn’t know this was a thing. Apparently, the actor who played the Hamburglar, the original “Nightmare Fuel” edition does signings? I can’t imagine anyone faking this. Now, I’m no fan of crowds, but I would go to any Con or […]
I was so excited to stumble upon this ad for Korvettes from 1978 featuring a Mego Superhero and Micronaut Mall Appearance. Mego famously did promotional tours with the Marvel Superheroes, Planet of the Apes characters, Action Jackson and even the cast of Star Trek. However, they also created this amazing costume of the Giant Acroyear […]
With the announcement that Bandai is releasing the Jumbo Machinder line starting with Mazinger-Z, I just had to dig up this early 1970s toy flyer with the toys themselves. This page, with its Henshin Cyborg, diecasts, and Microman, is somewhat overwhelming to take in. We 70s kids, of course, know Machinders as “Shogun Warriors,” […]
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 […]
Vintage Mego returns with a look at the Magna Heroes, a marriage of the Micronauts and the Superheroes. It’s the one Mego Superhero line most of us never got but probably should have. Iron Man was played by Jason Lenzi. Special thanks to Eddy Berst and Will McGowan (@toltoys_kid) for sharing their discoveries. #Mego […]
Super fun pick up this week, a Big Jim Double Trouble ski Patrol set in Canadian packaging. As much as I loved the P.A.C.K as a kid, I don’t remember seeing these sets. I’d like to think I’d remember that striking Marvel artwork. Canadian P.A.C.K stuff does not really pop up much so this […]
