Issue four will ship in mid-June of 2021 and is jam-packed with content.

The Munster Mash– We’re visiting 1313 Mocking Bird Lane when Corey Le Chat gives us a tour of one of the greatest collections of Munster merchandise ever assembled. Many of these items have never been featured in print before.

Apemen down under– William has written a great piece about this Australian line of Planet of the Apes knock off figures called “The Action Apemen”

The Expandable ones- David Lockwood explores the stretchable superheroes and villains made by Funstuff in the early 1980s.

Push Button Action- We talk about the weird world of dime-store action heroes created by Durham from Yung Kung Fu to Glump the Caveman, it’s a comprehensive guide.

Super Amicis– A fun pictorial guide to this cheeky line of figures based on the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes.

The Toy-Ventures Guide to the Mego Mad Monsters– This issue we take an exhaustive look at this wonderful glow-in-the-dark figure line by Mego with input and anecdotes by Mego’s own Marty Abrams.

Pre-Order Bonus- If you order through our store, your issue will come with a limited edition Mad Monsters souvenir pennant. Supplies are limited, this will not be available through any other offer.

Mystery Hulk Figure- This thing isn’t a bootleg as it’s marked Marvel and honestly, my best guess is it came from something like a Mold-A-Rama type machine. Anyone know what this is? It’s bugging me.

Golodarak Cosmic Station – Goldorak or Grendizer as it’s known in Japan got a toy line in France that was made up of Hasbro Super Joe bodies and accessories and I guess they even took the Super Joe rocket playset for good measure. I can’t imagine what the shipping would be for this but it’s neat to see.

Jeremy Figurine– Ok, I grew up with this show being called “Jeremy” but depending on where in the world you grew up he was Barnaby or Colargol (which is what my wife refers to him as). This show kind of freaked me out a few times and while I won’t be purchasing this (price seems oddly high) it’s fun when you think of something out of the blue and can find merchandise like this.

Garth the Stretchable Creature by FunStuff-  Septor and Garth were a series of lower cost Stretch Armstrong like figures made by FunStuff. Septor looks a bit like the love child of ROM and a Cylon but Garth is just buckets of ugly. Nobody ever talks about this.

Space:1999 Eagle Freighter by Dinky Toys: I think this may be one of the most glorious toys of the 1970s and for some reason, I don’t own one. The Eagle is to me, spaceship perfection and I vividly remember playing with those little nuclear canisters (which apparently caused issues in the UK when people found them in the street). I need to buy one of these.

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #2 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.
