Pajama-Rama

Loving the props in this one, especially the feats of strength although I don’t know why the Spock kid is lifting a dumbell. The Kirk PJs in the corner show the Captain in an episode called the Tholian Web, I have to admit, I’ve never seen that episode. I’m a bad trekkie. Halloween Countdown Submission: […]

Cheap 23rd Century Goodness

I got a lot of great feedback on the recent Azrak Hamway toy galleriesIncluding a ton of submissions from friends, so much so that I’ll be spinning off some of the material into additional galleries. Today, I thought I’d focus on some of the AHI Star Trek stuff my pal Bill sent me. These Phaser […]

Don’t Mess With Jim Kirk!!!!

While I longed for the Mego Star Trek communicators my sister and I ended up with some generic looking ones on the end. My best friend and I spent hours annoying […]

The 1980 Remco Catalog

Vintage Star Trek Toy Love

A very cool “back in the day” piece of Star Trek coolness courtesy of Jerry, whose patient mom converted a red sweatshirt into a perfect trek uniform. Word of advice young Jerry, don’t volunteer for any landing parties. If I wasn’t already envious of that sweet Remco Ultility belt, Jerry rubs in it a little […]
