Matchbox MAC Commando Challenge (sponsored link)

Wow, this is a sealed set from 1975, everything in there perfect and unplayed with. I have a real soft spot for MAC, the pocket version of the GI Joe Adventure Team and this set is gorgeous.

Display box for the Imperial Grizzly Jigglers (sponsored link)

Hey it’s October and a lot of cool Horror and Monster toys come out, like this, a display box of Grizzly Jigglers. Grizzly is a late 70s “Jawsploitation” movie that looked like it was going to be a hit. As much as I love the merch and the entire genre of rip-offs, I find this movie just OK. I have friends who really love it however.

Takara Japan Gi Joe Wind-Up Machine Gun (Sponsored Link) —

What I don’t know about Takara and 12″ GI Joe could probably fill a warehouse. I’ve got no real head for military toys, but this wind-up machine gun playset is amazing. That is some really innovative thinking.

Six Million Dollar Man Jacket (Sponsored Link) –

If I had this as a kid, it would have made me look less weird when I ran around the playground in slow motion. I wasn’t imitating Steve Austin, I’ve got “Slow Motion Running Syndrome” according to my unbelievably scary grade six gym teacher.

Mattel Talking King Kong (sponsored link)–

I’ve always dug the Rankin-Bass King Kong cartoon that was spun out of the classic “King Kong Escapes.”  I had no idea Mattel made a doll of him and he comes with a tiny Bobby Bond! I just don’t know why they made him blue and yellow? That seems out there….

Links are sponsored, so if you click, I get a coin thrown in my guitar case, which is great because I can’t play the guitar.

Amazing Spanish Sticker book (affiliate link)–

I featured this incredible sticker book in the “regerts” part of my Monster Bash recap. I can’t begin to describe how cool it is. It seems to have been a puzzle activity, but the range of characters is amazing, including Paul Naschy as Waldemar! It’s epic, amazing, and I wish I had bought it. Please do yourself a favour and look at the photos of this thing, it’s soo cool.

Bionic Man Paint by Numbers set (affiliate link) —

I may not know art but I know what I like.

Tara Toys Dark Adventure Play Case (affiliate link) —

I can’t get over how many 80s Fantasy playsets used the same characters. I never saw this clever set before but nearly all of the monsters are old friends. Heck it even includes the Colorforms Outer Space men in there (which I had in this cool set Alien Attack, see below.)

Miyarabi’s Prayer: Kill Mechagodzilla 45 

While this is from my favourite Godzilla film of all time, I was never a fan of this song to King Cesar as a kid because it slowed down an otherwise fast paced film. I never knew it was released as a single before.

The Ultimate collection of Collegeville Ultra-Man costumes (affiliate link) —

If you like Ultra-Man AND Halloween Costumes, this auction is fantastic as it showcases all the variants (Which, BTW, are in issue 6 of Toy-Ventures, just sayin’) and the original prototypes from the Collegeville archives. One of a kind stuff makes me giddy.

Kenner wins packaging award, Bionic Man

This article from 1976 is in celebration of Kenner winning packaging awards from two different associations for the Steve Scout and Six Million Dollar Man toy lines, respectively. With the Bionic Toylines, the colour pink was traditionally considered taboo in boy’s toys (as was black), but in doing this, Kenner stood apart in the action aisle. I associate pink with two toylines,  Kenner Steve Austin and Mego Batman; it’s been 50 years, and I still think that. Well done, Kenner.

Below is a parade of Bionic Man endcaps, enjoy.

The post Toy-Ventures: Toy Hunting @ The Great American Garage Sale! appeared first on PS.

( legalese: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated)

Japanese Superman figure (eBay Affiliate Link) ––

I believe the word for such an item is “Keshi,” which means “Rubber Eraser” in Japanese. I would also consider the figures made by Diener US  as technically Keshi as well. What strikes me about this piece is the Neal Adams art on the box and the fun mix of characters. As a kid, I always flipped out if I saw Aquaman on something.

Six Million Dollar Man Play Suit (eBay Affiliate Link) —

This playsuit has been making me giggle for days, but I couldn’t figure out why.  It reminds me of how my friends and I would run in slow motion while pretending to be bionic. So I’m not laughing at the kid on the box, I AM the kid on the box at least metaphorically.  Also, now I just run in slow motion.

Centasable Silly Swords (eBay Afiliate Link) —

I’m going to guess that every kid who had one of these (a) pretended they were lightsabers and (b) somehow hurt their eye.

Sesame Street Bert and Ernie Radio (eBay Affiliate Link) —

I’m very pro “Bert and Ernie” items in this column, and that’s good because it seems to be a total bottomless pit of merchandise! George Lucas should kiss Bert’s ring which I imagine looks like a Bottlecap/Pigeon hybrid of some sort. I’ve thought too much about this. 

Popy Spider-Man five pack (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Teaming Spider-Man with a Shogun Warrior and the Space-keteers? Get out of my brain eBay!

Slam Bam Diesels (eBay Link)–

I do not recall this toy line, which brilliantly merges Smash Up Derby with RC cars. I will, however, be stealing “Slam Bam Diesels” should I ever form a dad garage band.

Batman Stained Glass Kit (eBay Link) —

I could do a “5 Awesome Batman crafts on eBay this week” in a snap. Call me a crabby old pee-paw, but I like my Batman blue with a grey suit. That was good enough for my dad, and it’s good enough for me. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go buy some wurthers for my cardigan pockets.

Child Guidance Muppet Minatures (eBay Link)-

PVC muppet figures with a l’il cardboard Sesame Street? I’m so in. If there’s another set with Roosevelt Franklin, I will Plotz. At least, I think I will; I may not properly understand what “Plotzing” is all about.

Six Million Dollar Man Fabric (eBay Link) —

I wish to create a robe out of this I can wear in public; my sceptre will have Maskatron’s head on it. 

Six Cans of Billy Beer (eBay Link) —

Sadly, these are empty, but that’s probably for the best, although I heard it was not bad.  A lot better than that Roger Clinton Zima amiright?

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Fantastic Four Water Pistol (eBay Link) —

France’s Pin Pin Toys carried a ton of products from Mego and AHI but also made their own products like this pretty non-descript water gun. The Fantastic Four are huge in France and well, that seems totally deserved. 

Spider-Man Sticker Book from France (eBay Link) —

I always really appreciate Super Heroe merchandise that uses it’s own artwork. It happens so rarely now but look at this fun cover, it’s gorgeous and hey, it’s all the movie Spideys.

70s DC Comics Kitchen Magnets (eBay Link) —

Oh look, childhood happiness. I still have the Robin I’ve had my entire life, there are marvel versions too and BarbaPappas!

Henshin Cyborg Operation Game (eBay Link) –—

My pal Ed posted this on the Mego Museum forums and I mean, it’s incredible. It’s the officially licensed Game of Operation but instead of a nude guy we get Henshin Cyborg. This is fortified awesome. 

Ideal Derry Daring adventure set (eBay Link) —

Derry Daring was Evel Knievel but for girls, it makes sense I’m sure lots of girls wanted to play with that stunt set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a carded figure before and I am in love with the artwork. This is really awesome.

Superman Sleeping Bag (eBay Link) —

I love comic book Sleeping bags especially ones where Superman is burping and beating up Marlon Brando from “The Wild One.”

Weird Bootleg Tarzan figure (eBay Link) __

Weird Tarzan figures like this are the Faberge egg of my house. I’ve got them everywhere, I can’t resist them!

Dutch Bionic Man Turbo Tower Set (eBay Link) —

Clipper was the Netherlands distributor for Kenner products (we have a Clipper catalog here) and I just really love the packaging on this wonderful toy.

Marvel Superhero Stamps (eBay Link) —

I loved Super Hero stamps as a kid and completely forget they were a thing. It did not give me a life long love of stamps but I think they’re incredible and wish i had to money.

Color Forms Tru Dimension set (eBay Link)—

These were 3D hobby sets introduced in 1976 by Colorforms and the brain child of toy inventory Mel Birnkrant. If you want to read more about them, read Mel’s story on them and then enjoy his incredible website.

1976 Action Figure Explosion!

I got this catalogue just after Christmas, and I wanted to close the year with the single reason I had to have it. This glorious page of plastic joy.  I never saw this page as a kid, but wow, that’s how the inside of my brain looked when I was five. 

This page, with it’s triple threat of Kenner Bionic Man, GI Joe Adventure Team, and Big Jim’s P.A.C.K hit me like a gut punch but in a good way, more like a “gut hug?” is that a thing? 

I enjoyed the book even more when I found the other page with my sixth birthday present, the GI Joe Capture Copter, which also was the “Monster Squad Copter” with my Lincoln Monsters. 

Not to mention the Sky Dive to Danger set, another birthday present and my vote for the single greatest GI Joe set ever.

1976 Action Figure Explosion!

No Offense to fans of Johnny West but I have almost no memory of the toy line. It’s probably because of stuff like Remco Star Trek and the amazing Lazervette had all of my attention and well kind of still do…. 

Happy New Year!
