I was so smitten with the larger Shogun Warriors as a kid, that I completely ignored stuff like the Shigcon tank and jet pictured here. I honestly just learned their names tonight. These vehicles (like the majority of the Shogun Warriors line) were originally toys from a Japanese TV series, these two were from a […]
This past Sunday I set up at Burlington Toy Show, mostly to hang out with friends and eat food that’s not good for me but also to hopefully earn some money for next week’s Mego Meet toy show. It was hard being good but I took photos instead of buying, above is easily the rarest toy […]
Ever since I first stumbled on this newspaper ad, I’ve been intrigued by this clever little set. I’d always wanted to track one down but sadly my “track that down” list is vast and I may have focus issues so it never happened. Fortunately for me, my good pal and podcast partner Jason has more […]
I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I last raved about my mild obsession with Whitman comic poly bagged 3 packs of my youth. I guess that’s because I haven’t across many deals and actually let some awesome ones slip through my fingers. Above is Shogun Warriors, while I never had any of […]
Click on the image for a larger view I found this single page in the back of a 1982 Mattel Germany catalog and for some reason it kind of made me sad. The catalog (which I’ll get to) is loaded with pages of cool European Big Jim stuff, Barbie and newcomer He-Man. These two Goldorak […]
It’s December and we wouldn’t even have this site if it weren’t for the 70s Wish Book catalogs that magically landed on our door steps every fall. Episode 11 is dedicated to our crazy 70s Christmas memories, the letters to Santa, the arms length wantlist and how Star Wars just turned the whole thing into […]
Here is the coolest pic you will see all day, make it your happy place.
‘Shogun Warriors: Dragun” I have to admit, I was excited when I found scans of this book over at (sponsor) Sherryloutoys website. Mostly because it was free but also because Marvel’s “Shogun Warriors” comic usually took my 35 cents if there wasn’t a new issue of “Star Wars” or “Micronauts” on the rack. I was […]
Mattel marketed their successful “Shogun Warriors” toy line not only in North America but to Europe as well. What’s fun about all international toy lines in the 1970s were the things that were different or at times, additional. And the Italian Shogun Warriors line does not disappoint, while Godzilla is strangely absent, Goldrake a popular […]
Marty sent in this fantastic family portrait and as she explains “I was maybe one of the few girls who preferred robots and Star Wars toys”. This family portrait from her eleventh is proof of this, pictured are Marty, her mom & dad, cat Tiger and “new baby brother” Gaiking. I’m at a loss for […]
