V Visitor Pistol

I am a passionate fan of the NBC mini-series and resulting television series “V.” While my wife and I rewatch it often, we don’t have a large collection of V items; I have just a tiny handful of toys, mostly bootlegs, a couple of comics, novels, and a UK annual.

However, when I saw this SpanishVistior Pistol Justin AKA @robeastscorpius had for sale, I jumped on it without thinking. I just had to have it.

It’s an officially licensed item, a modified police cap gun with the distinctive Vistor look. Marc Singer is not only on the card but it also comes with a cool patch of Mike Donavan. Diana’s appearance would be the only thing that would make this better, but we can’t have everything.

The post V Visitor Pistol by Coibel Spain appeared first on PS.

For years, I’ve been picking up pieces from an eclectic collection of Knock-Off toys from Europe and the UK but this one is off the beaten path for me.

Meet SuperAirMan, a flying toy from Spain made by a company called Juypal.

This is one of the most excellent packages I’ve seen for a Knock-Off, and the Superman appears to be swiped from Neal Adams. Hey, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best.

And hey, I wrote a book about Knock-Off toys like this and if you buy from me, I sign it and everything!

The post Knock Offs: SuperAirMan appeared first on PS.

Ever since I found this guy sitting at the cash register of Suspect Video on Queen and talked the manager out of it (good thing too because the store sadly burned down not long after) I’ve been wondering what the heck he was. I by and large just assumed a knock off figure sold in dime stores but happily I was wrong. 


Turns out they’re by a company called Jecsan of Spain, more figures and packaging after the jump.

As you can see this guy about 5 inches tall and has some limited articulation. 

 


Thanks to a hot tip from my friend Matt, I now have a carded Princess in the same style, I’m not sure why she comes with Mark’s Boomerang but who cares? I’m always thrilled to have a toy that isn’t Mark.

Looking forward to tracking down more of these!
