I think the Space:1999 stun gun is one of the most iconic Sci-Fi weapons ever created. As a kid, I used a Staple gun until I nabbed the AHI water gun pictured above, it’s the most screen accurate toy produced in the 1970s IMO. AHI had a year of Star Trek sales under their […]
This wonderful piece from December 1977 arrived this week and while I plan to show case the whole thing in loving detail next Christmas, it’s just to good not to share at least a little bit right now. Above is the Mattel Space:1999 Eagle which I think is on my 2014 wish list. I think […]
Seeing all the Doctor Who merchandise in main stream stores this Christmas makes me nostalgic for the time when all Sci Fi shows were marketed towards kids. Space:1999 mania was in full swing in 1976 and it produced buckets of memotable merchandise. That big Eagle is still something I plan on reacquiring in 2014.. On the […]
Road stars were a fun little series of cheap diecast vehicles that used popular licenses like Spider-Man, Archie, Hogan’s Heroes (!) and Space:1999. There is a lot wrong with this card, in today’s world these would all have to be shipped back to the manufacturer or destroyed. First, Space:1999 isn’t a Hanna Barbera production, secondly, […]
Here is the coolest pic you will see all day, make it your happy place.
I’m not sure what I like most about this piece, the fact that it’s clearly just a regular Doctor kit repackaged, that it never shows the Doctor character from Space:1999 or the wonderfully awesome, over the top image of Martian Landau on the card. Gotta go with Landau…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a […]
This toy by AHI is pretty topical considering last week’s Gerry Anderson centric pod cast. I don’t own it but I am lucky enough to know the owner, so I had the opportunity to photograph it at this year’s MegoMeet. Turns out this piece is crazy rare, even rarer then the Superfriends buggy I drool […]
Seeing as it’s September 13th, there is no better time to talk about the creative force that was Gerry Anderson. Eventhough much of the man’s output was done before Jason and Brain were even an idea, their timeless quality has fans talking about them to this day. The guys show the evolution in puppets from […]
1) I never knew this rub down transfer set from Letraset existed until last week when my pal Corey sent me this swell picture. 2) I neeeeeeeeeed it! Look at that awesome artwork. I bet they made a whole bunch of different sets, my wallet is doomed. Toys:1999
There is something so satisfying about a low tech item being sold as something from the future. I’m sure the denizens of moon base Alpha kept the dial on 1050 for traffic and weather on the ones.
