Hasbro Flash Gordon Paint by Numbers (eBay Link)– I adore the Filmation Flash Gordon cartoon and any merchandise that came out from it is OK by me. This set is an underrated gem. Mattel Welcome Back Kotter Playset (eBay Link)– “Sweathog Mania” is something I plan to address in a future Toy-Ventures episode but this […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this New Years Eve Jetsons Shogun Warriors Rack Toy (eBay Link)- I am not a big fan of the Jetson’s but I do love Shogun Warriors and that’s what this toy used to be. Mattel marketed these as “Shogun Warriors Rocket Tops” in the late 1970s, how they ended up […]
Knock-Off Unboxing Hey, it’s Christmas Eve, so let’s open a mystery box of Knock-Offs brought to me by Santa (at least I think that was the DHL guy’s name), and I can show you the most extraordinary KO figure that I have ever purchased. Meet Frank, Dolly girl and The Terror from Beyond Space! Merry […]
Santa Clause Conquers the Martians Comic Book (eBay Link)– This movie is my favourite Christmas movie, it’s one that just hits me in the feels. Sure, it’s kind of terrible but it’s also weirdly competent in other arenas. This comic from Dell (the bad movie company of comics) is wonderful in it’s own right. Hulk […]

Remco Batman Trik Trak- Remco made some pretty obscure toys, and Trik-Trak is one. Trik-Trak is a road race/obstacle set (battery operated) featuring a Batmobile, and it’s got some gorgeous Batman artwork all through it. Also, that’s the 1966 Batmobile which was the “go-to” in merchandising until Lawyers ruined it for a couple of decades. […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Donmoor Captain Kirk Pajamas (eBay Link) I know I drone on and on about the Star Trek clothing produced by Donmoor but I don’t care, it’s awesome and I wish I had this stuff as a kid. No boogie man would screw with a kid wearing that smug […]

1984 Fleetwood Toys Catalog Even though Fleetwood began in the 1970s by grabbing such high-brow licenses as Charlie’s Angels and the Marvel Comics Superheroes for Rack Toys, the 1980s seemed to be the company’s high point with them retaining many high ticket licenses from TV and movies. 1984 is a good example of how Fleetwood […]
