With last month’s passing of Leonard Nimoy, we decided to pick up where we left off when last discussing Star Trek. This episode touches upon the highs and lows of the Star Trek movie franchise, ending at part 6. We also discuss the (minimalist) 80s merchandise, conventions, films the cast did and don’t hate us […]
Here’s a bit of weirdness from Canada, I actually remember finding one of these in the 80s. Halloween distributor Norben released a series of low cost Star Trek cape and mask sets using what I guess is some Ben Cooper masks from the first movie. It’s a pretty low rent affair complete with a card […]
I discovered these at the flea market this past weekend, I can’t think of a more serendipitous thing to happen. I don’t normally buy party favours but these, without hyperbole, are the single greatest Party Favours on the planet. The most charming thing about this to me is the inability to get the tunic […]
I’ve featured the AHI Bagatelle’s before but this appears to be the more “deluxe” version. I ran into one of these on the weekend and it took every fiber of my being to resist it. More Star Trek Rack Toys
I kick off Star Trek week with a personal victory. Back in the mid 70s, Don Moor released a slew of child sized Star Fleet uniforms and it was love at first sight when I saw them at the “Tot to Teen” shop I was dragged to as a kid. I was denied entrance into […]
I absolutely love early Star Wars merch like this and that Star Trek set seems to use Gold Key art, I’d wear that now…
(click on any photo for an enlargement) Like a lot of 70s kids, I cut my nerdy teeth on Starlog magazine. It was basically my window into a world of wonder that wasn’t available where I grew up. As a struggling student in the 90s, I used to visit the Starlog store in New Jersey […]
I fondly remember getting the Spider-Man Vs Man Wolf book on Christmas eve 1978, it helped me pass the time until we got to the bigger presents. I’d like to reunite with it but I do worry that it will start a new obsession. That Star Trek one is calling to me…..
Ben Cooper was the leading manufacturer of Halloween costumes and Novelties in the United States during the 1970s. This extensive 1976 catalog really demonstrates the power house licenses they had from the Universal Monsters and Mickey Mouse, the Superheroes of both Marvel and DC to TV sensations like the Six Million Dollar Man and the […]
The Amazing Spider-Man: “Star Trek Color and Activity book” by Merrigold Press If anybody has been reading the blog, you’ll know I pretty much adore Star Trek coloring books, mostly because a) They’re terrible and b) often hilarious (see this for more) When I bought this book it seemed familiar but I swore I’d never […]
