Willo the Wisp Viewmasters (sponsored link) ––

I have a real love for this UK cartoon. Mainly because TVO aired it before Doctor Who, but also because it was a weird show. The Wisp was voiced by Kenneth Williams from the “Carry On” films, and you always feel like there’s an adult joke buried somewhere. Also, I can do a mean Kenneth Williams impersonation. I’m no longer invited to parties BECAUSE MY FRIENDS ARE ALL JEALOUS OF MY TALENT!

Superman Puzzle (sponsored link)

As an unwritten rule, I tend to gravitate towards 60s-90s pop culture on these posts, but Superman is one of the GOATs of licensing. I love this wonderful depiction of Superman taking a pair of insurance salesmen out for a toot.

Moody Rudy (sponsored link) —

I’ve never heard of this toy nor the company itself but I sure know it’s creator. Art Cloaky created “Gumby and Pokey” and “Davey and Golaith” both shows I watched on “The Commander Tom Show” as a kid.  I love that the package says tongue and teeth included, that’s great value. I’m going to assume the estate of Clarke Gable burned this company to the ground.

Hasbro Inhumanoids Store Display (sponsored link)

I don’t collect this toy line, but I was a teenager when it came out, and I did kind of love it, especially the cartoon, which was so bonkers at the time. I wondered if anyone was paying attention.

Looking back now, I can see what appealed to me: they’re Shogun Warrior-sized Kaiju and that, my friends, spells fun. Not literally, of course but GaiKing would have kicked their asses.

Martin Landau’s collection of Sybil Danning Space:1999 VHS movies (sponsored link)

Ok, this is going to be a long story, but it’s a good one.

In the mid-1980s, two of the ITC Super Space Theatre “films” (which were old TV series repackaged as ersatz movies) were distributed under the banner of Sybil Danning’s Adventure Video. These tapes mainly featured forgotten genre movies, with host segments by Danning herself, clad in sexy outfits, and dialogue that included a bit of innuendo. 

This was essentially in response to the Elvira-hosted tapes, which were selling like hotcakes. Well, Martin Landau heard about it and summoned his lawyer, who requested samples and then sued. The Landau/Bain camp felt that the whole thing disrespected Space: 1999. I have to admit, the prints aren’t great.  The tapes were yanked from distribution, making copies harder to find (trust me, I know).

This is not only the set Landau received, but it also includes a letter to his lawyer. So it’s quite a piece of history.

It also contains the CBS FOX release of Destination Moonbase Alpha, which I don’t think was subject to any legal action. It was a well done release, I still have my copy!

Flash Gordon Rocket Ship by NASTA (sponsored link)

The Flash Gordon license sure did have a hey day in the 1970s, ol’ Flash was everywhere for a while. I’ve never seen this ship before, but I dig it’s Art Deco styling. 

Sesame Street Jewelry Box (sponsored link) —

My pal Courtney sent me this and I am so in love with it. Mainly because the artist used the Child Guidance Sesame Street Finger puppets as models, and wow, is it adorable!

I should mention that my friend Robyn Adams covered the puppets themselves in issue 10 of Toy-Ventures Magazine. 

Japanese Parachuting Superman Rack Toy (sponsored link) —

We may be thousands of miles away, and speak a different language, but the love of a cheap rack toy unites us all.

Money Magic Set (sponsored link) —

The best part of this gig is the unlocked memories and I totally had this as a kid. I was hoping it somehow magically made money, but it was an illusion. I was a bit thick at times.

Bootleg Colorforms Outer Space Men toy (sponsored link)—

Amazingly, a toy line from the late 1960s would be bootlegged in a smaller size and pop up in the early 1990s like this. I own some of these loose and would love to get this. I don’t collect the original OSM (mainly because the Magic Money thing above doesn’t work), but I do appreciate their designs and am a sucker for “Army Men” scale toys.

STOP THE PRESSES BONUS ITEM!

Revolutionary War set from the comic book ad (sponsored linkage)

I’m sure my Gen-X friends remember spending afternoons reading this ad in comics and wondering what the toys looked like. I swear it ran for years. Even as a kid I knew it was probably a rip and well, it kind of is but also so cool to finally see!

Amsco Super Babies (eBay Sponsored Link)—

As a kid I thought these were the worst thing ever, I really detested “Baby stuff” and well, these had Baby in the title. I’ve softened on them since then but still don’t need to own them.

Takara Steel jeeg   (affiliate link) —

“Baron Karza, I am your father; you too, Force Commander!” I love Jeeg despite never having seen the show itself. This wonderful Magnetic figure was retooled for the Micronauts, and while I have a loose one, this boxed one is well priced and super tempting. What I’m saying is, please take this temptation away.

Sesame Street Calendars (affiliate link) —

I vividly remember the 1978 Sesame Street Calendar, I even remember my dad having to borrow it to plan something for his business. I may have had some of the earlier ones but the memory has faded. 

Space Sentinels figure by Fleetwood Toys (affiliate link)—-

My love and admiration for the Filmation Space Sentinels is well documented (see video below); this is the closest we got to action figures. The seller also has Astrea, but sadly, no Hercules. 

McDonald’s Play Place Sign (affiliate link) —

While I did seriously have eyes for this vintage Hamburglar statue, I have to admit this would be even cooler to have in the entrance to my back yard with the addition of “under penalty of death.”

Rob Roy Superman Shirt (affiliate link) —

This is a pretty incredible design for the middle 1970s, I would have loved this as a kid.

“V” Visitors Van (affiliate link)-

While the V television series didn’t last a season in North America, it was a total smash south of the border. As a result, they got more toys, many of which were bootlegs produced locally. I want all of it.

AHI Batman Road Race set (eBay affiliate link)–

I actually owned this at one point and no, it didn’t work. I was left curious if one ever did work, it was pretty shoddy but also adorable.

Complete set of Corgi X-Ploratrons (affiliate link) —

X-Ploratrons was just one of many diecast science fiction lines from the late 1970s, I seemed to get one vehicle from each line and that was it. The Scanotron is on my desk as I type this next to my Shinsei Jeek Tunnelin. 

Toho Frankenstein and War of the Gagantuas Vinyls (affiliate link)–

I’m not sure if these are new or vintage, but wow, is this a big hug from my childhood! Both these movies left a real mark on me as a kid, in a good way as it made me curious about monster movies in general. I don’t collect vinyls (except when I do), and that Franky may find its way to me somehow…

King Kong Decanter (eBay Affiliate Link)

I have this weird love affair with the 1976 King Kong film, mainly because I never saw it until adulthood and it’s ok I guess. However, being 6 years old when it came out was awesome, it was Gorilla town for this Planet of the Apes obsessed kid.

Kenner
Duke

Kenner Duke Playset (eBay affiliate link) 

Kenner’s Duke the dog is one of those interesting ideas that didn’t gel. Duke was a German Shepherd (the official dog of the 1970s) who had his own bat cave. I’m not sure why he needs all that crime fighting equipment. My dog would just be spying on the dog in the next yard. I personally think Stella is a sweety but according to Jess, she’s up to something.

King of the Kingdom Jesus action figure (eBay Affiliate Link)—

While I love Mego Knock Offs, I’ve always been weird about these kinds of figures. I mean, this is one I’ve been able to justify. Call it Catholic guilt I guess.

Bake-A-Craft DC Superhero stained glass (eBay Affiliate link) —

It is this site’s duty to showcase every 70s and 80s Superhero craft set. That is all.

The Champions Scuba Diver Set (eBay Link) ––

I post rack toys like this because it will solve someone’s life long mystery somewhere. I’m addicted to doing that.

Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers with the Hulk

I was jazzed to find this wonderful trade advert for the Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers (their word was Wiggly but . Ben Cooper made these floppy figures for the better part of a decade and then they were bootlegged for another 10-15 years!

It was a good way to keep Ben Cooper products on store shelves year-round; Rubber bat sales really plummeted by November. 

Joining this assortment is the Incredible Hulk, whose TV Stardom made him an A-Lister in the Superhero Merchandise game. Like the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes Hulk figure, the Hulk’s ample frame wasn’t cost-effective, so he’s considerably shorter than the other characters. Not that any of them can stand. 

Superhero Jigglers Catalog page from the 1980 Ben Cooper Catalog

Ben Cooper tried to expand the selection of Superheroes but made some interesting choices, including The Thing, Doctor Strange and the Red Skull. The Thing and Doctor Strange had some TV appearances but I’ve never understood the Red Skull. Although I am grateful, that someone made a Red Skull toy!

This page is from the 1981 Ben Cooper Catalog, you can see more here:

Japanese Superman figure (eBay Affiliate Link) ––

I believe the word for such an item is “Keshi,” which means “Rubber Eraser” in Japanese. I would also consider the figures made by Diener US  as technically Keshi as well. What strikes me about this piece is the Neal Adams art on the box and the fun mix of characters. As a kid, I always flipped out if I saw Aquaman on something.

Six Million Dollar Man Play Suit (eBay Affiliate Link) —

This playsuit has been making me giggle for days, but I couldn’t figure out why.  It reminds me of how my friends and I would run in slow motion while pretending to be bionic. So I’m not laughing at the kid on the box, I AM the kid on the box at least metaphorically.  Also, now I just run in slow motion.

Centasable Silly Swords (eBay Afiliate Link) —

I’m going to guess that every kid who had one of these (a) pretended they were lightsabers and (b) somehow hurt their eye.

Sesame Street Bert and Ernie Radio (eBay Affiliate Link) —

I’m very pro “Bert and Ernie” items in this column, and that’s good because it seems to be a total bottomless pit of merchandise! George Lucas should kiss Bert’s ring which I imagine looks like a Bottlecap/Pigeon hybrid of some sort. I’ve thought too much about this.

Superheroes ROTRADRAW set (eBay Link)

I’ve never heard of the Rota Draw sets before but after seeing one of these on Instagram, I became smitten. I can’t imagine it worked well but there is a certain hypnotic quality to that DC Comics stock artwork.  

Souvenir pillow from the World of Sid and Marty Krofft (eBay Link)

I am forever haunted by the fact that I never got to visit the amusement park headed by the Kroffts. I was such a fan of their work and I cannot believe the memorabilia that the park generated during their short tenure.  

Grape Ape String Art kit (eBay Link) —

Although I can’t really answer any follow-up questions about it, I was fond of this cartoon when I was six. I think it would brighten any kitchen or Rumpus room.  

Dynomutt Picture Frame (eBay Link) —

  I’ve actually owned one or two of these novelty frames before; this one makes me laugh because, as a kid, I loved Blue Falcon and wanted Dyno-Mutt to die in a fire. So I’ve got some mixed emotions.    

BugMen of Insecta Figure (eBay Link) —

These toys popped up when I was in the 9th grade and while I’ve never owned one, they always felt kindred, like I would gone mental for them as a kid. Maybe it’s the rather Rack Toy nature of them, maybe it’s the horror elements but yeah, I’ve been a fan from afar….
