Shogun Warrior PJs
OMG, these things are so super cool. I miss the days of toy lines with absolutely no back story.
Nerd Therapy Session: So-Dumb Warrior
First off, thank you for the incredibly kind response to last week’s entry. It’s extremely comforting to know I was not alone because that would have been pretty terrible. My next tale of nerd-woe jumps me to 1986, I had started drifting away from collecting comic books and jumped into collectibles, specifically sci fi based toys. Actually, it […]
Kidco Silver Warriors/Space Defenders Catalog
Kidco (a pretty logical name for a toy company) made some pretty unassuming toys during the 1970s, the most interesting items they produced in 1979 are not one but two different lines of Shogun Warrior inspired toys. Sliver Warriors and Space Defenders are the things you find at toy shows or in lots and have […]

Sorry, this is a shill post.Thanks to a good find and the amazing help of my pal Dave, I’m releasing another volume of 1970s toy commercials all transferred from the original 16 mm reels. The majority of these are from 1979 and from Mego, Mattel and Kenner. Stretch Monster Barbie Superstar Traveler (Judy “Dyna Girl” […]
Mazinga Trading Card
The one overwhelming suggestion I got for trading cards are the Mattel Shogun Warriors, which is pretty easy to do considering how iconic they are. Mazinga is special to me because he was the first vintage toy I bought at a yard sale, bought it from a friend of mine who kind of thought I […]
