The passing of legendary TV producer Gerry Anderson yesterday, put me into a real funk. Anderson created two of my favourite science fiction series of all time in UFO and Space:1999, not to mention a pile of super cool kid’s programming in the 1960s. The man was a visionary, Whenever Anderson’s name appeared, awesome merchandise […]
If you’re stranded on an alien planet and the beer bottles aren’t screw off, this puppy will be worth it’s weight in gold. What’s sad about this thing is, I’ve spent about twenty minutes looking through catalogs trying to find the version of this that has images from the show’s second season. It’s getting a […]
My pal Corey (who always has neat stuff on Ebay) sent in some really cool photos of the different costumes produced for shows created by legendary TV producer Gerry Anderson and well, there is no better time to look at these, just gonna seem weird tomorrow. More Collegeville/Ben Cooper fun after the jump… First off, […]
I am really excited to say that I’ve made a major find and it’s timing couldn’t be better seeing as it’s a Collegeville costume that I didn’t think was real. More after the jump.. When I first posted this costume in the 1973 Collegeville Catalog three years ago, I thought it was the coolest Halloween costume […]
I was rummaging around preparing for our annual month of Halloween and this popped up, it’s an awesome sell sheet for the Syndicated TV movie “Alien Attack” which actually was just two episodes of “Space:1999” glued together and sold as a feature film. I cannot tell you how addicted to these things I was as […]
At one point, this item was my white whale. I never have actually owned one. It’s a pretty rare higher dollar item from AHI, much of their Space:1999 offering could be had with an allowance.
I think the world would be a better place if we all spent our evenings lounging in Moonbase Alpha pajamas…
Here we have the rather odd AHI Eagle one water pistol, it looks kind of ill advised but you have to remember that AHI probably sold a boatload of these so they just applied the Star Trek template to Space:1999 when it came to all merch. What I really enjoy about 1999 merchandising is the amount […]
My pal Will sent me these great shots of the UK version of the Remco/AHI Space:1999 utility belt, which shows a cool illustration of second in command Paul Morrow being rescued by an Eagle. It’s such nice art you don’t even question the big honkin’ “Space:1999” logo on the buckle. The guts are exactly the […]
This ad is from 1978, I find it funny that kids were playing with ships from Gerry Anderson’s (IMO amazing) UFO series a good seven years after it was cancelled. Those Eagles were also more fun than should be humanly allowed.
