Unlike today, Langely and Associates was one of those rare places in the mid 70s where you could buy fan merchandise, their catalog was loaded with everything from King Kong posters to a whole selection of 8″ by 10″ stills from “The Prisoner“. However, the big thing was a wonderful array of Star Trek merchandise, […]
While we’re pretty spoiled with cons these days, it wasn’t always the case. I recently found this program from 1979 for a Science Fiction Festival in Waukegan Illinois that wonderfully illustrates that fact. No guests, no dealers, just a gathering of SF loving adults and Star Wars crazed kids for a celebration of a then […]
As Star Trek Rip Offs go, this one is a doozy. I’d like to have those curtains (and carpet) for PlaidStallions HQ…..
Even though Star Wars was all the rage, the Mego Star Trek figures miraculously re-appeared in the 1978 Sears Catalog. The figures came on cards with blank backers, it’s largely believed it was a tactic by Mego to retain the Star Trek license for the upcoming move. Always nice to see the Space Command Center […]
So much goodness in this picture, oh and Kojak…..
This month’s topic is some of the disappointing toy lines that have stemmed from our more beloved properties over the years. It’s totally done out of love (as we both freely admit we bought and still own a lot of this stuff) but we talk about toys for Men in Black, the Phantom, Star Trek […]
At this year’s Mego Meet, I was gifted this amazing vintage Donmoor Star Trek T Shirt by my pal Corey. I’m told it’s pretty rare but even if it wasn’t, it’s genuinely bad-ass. As a kid, I really wanted a Donmoor Star Trek uniform shirt but never got one (probably for the best), so collecting […]
Yes! A new installment of one of my favorites, vintage toy store photos. A journey back to the days of oddly named department stores and independent mall toy stores and chains that are fondly remembered but sadly mostly gone. Vintage Toy Store Photos Volume 17 covers the US and Canada this time and features appearances […]
As one of the premiere rack toy manufacturers of the 1970s, Azrak Hamway International (most commonly referred to as AHI by collectors) ended the decade with a bang featuring new products featuring their hottest licenses. Most notably in this book are the Marvel and DC superheroes, Star Trek, KISS and the Universal Monsters. It is […]
This was a yard sale find I gave my son many moons ago, it was enjoyed and all that remains appears to be this box lid. At one time, the off model green Mr Spock would have annoyed me, now I like it better than most merchandise produced today.
