Big Jim Boris the Devious Chauffer (sponsored Link)

Another European James Bond Masterpiece, Boris was also marketed under the James Bond 007 Banner. I found this guy in the 80s via toyshop and immediately fell in love with him. Not only is he made up of some of my favourite Big Jim PACK Characters (namely Dr. Steel and Torpedo Fist) but he totally looks like he came out of a Matt Helm film! There is no downside.

3 Henshin Cyborgs with vintage Outfits (sponsored link) —

A couple of really neat deals happened this week with Henshin Cyborg, one of those toy lines I dabble in but mainly window shop. I thought this lot of three Shonin Cyborgs were tempting. I’m passing this temptation along in case it’s of benefit.

A Man called Sloane Promotional Poster from NBC (sponsored link)

For some reason, I am obsessed with the short-lived 1979 NBC Spy Television series that was definitely channelling the Roger Moore James Bond era. It was pretty silly with androids, weather machines and oh so many death rays. I have never seen this poster before. Conrad replaced the actor in the pilot, and I find it interesting that Sloane almost had a mustache. This will haunt me.

1979 Blake’s 7 British Annual (sponsored link) –

I am fond of both the Annual format and this groundbreaking sci-fi series; you’d think I’d own one, but nope. I also haven’t finished the first season Blu-rays I got last Christmas, I think I’ll fix that.

Bruce Action (sponsored link)-

I don’t know what “Bruce Action” is but I think I could use some. This toy is a masterpiece of both sloppiness and inadvertent hilarity.

Matchbox MAC Commando Challenge (sponsored link)

Wow, this is a sealed set from 1975, everything in there perfect and unplayed with. I have a real soft spot for MAC, the pocket version of the GI Joe Adventure Team and this set is gorgeous.

Display box for the Imperial Grizzly Jigglers (sponsored link)

Hey it’s October and a lot of cool Horror and Monster toys come out, like this, a display box of Grizzly Jigglers. Grizzly is a late 70s “Jawsploitation” movie that looked like it was going to be a hit. As much as I love the merch and the entire genre of rip-offs, I find this movie just OK. I have friends who really love it however.

Takara Japan Gi Joe Wind-Up Machine Gun (Sponsored Link) —

What I don’t know about Takara and 12″ GI Joe could probably fill a warehouse. I’ve got no real head for military toys, but this wind-up machine gun playset is amazing. That is some really innovative thinking.

Six Million Dollar Man Jacket (Sponsored Link) –

If I had this as a kid, it would have made me look less weird when I ran around the playground in slow motion. I wasn’t imitating Steve Austin, I’ve got “Slow Motion Running Syndrome” according to my unbelievably scary grade six gym teacher.

Mattel Talking King Kong (sponsored link)–

I’ve always dug the Rankin-Bass King Kong cartoon that was spun out of the classic “King Kong Escapes.”  I had no idea Mattel made a doll of him and he comes with a tiny Bobby Bond! I just don’t know why they made him blue and yellow? That seems out there….

GI Joe Skydive to Danger (sponsored link)

When I turned six, my grandmother let me tag along with her to Eatons (RIP) to pick out one thing for my birthday. She left me in the toy aisle for probably a half an hour while she went to the credit department. It is one of my fondest childhood memories, looking through all those crazy GI Joe, Big Jim and Mego Superhero packages, just leisurely drinking it all in. I saw some crazy stuff, like Cowboy outfits for Joe that I would later find out were exclusive to Canada. Anyway, I chose this, which, to me, is the coolest Joe set ever. You’ve got a parachute and a giant spider. It still sets my brain afire.

Brains in a Bag (sponsored link) 

My friend Courtney sent this to me and it’s something that would have been sold in “Over our Heads” in those later seasons of “Facts of Life” that have George Clooney.

Pssssst…..My wife is revisiting this series for the 100th time, please, I can’t take any more of Beverly Anne…

Microman Lady Command figure (sponsored Link) 

Thanks to the Super 7 Micronauts figures, I’ve been in a real Micronaut mood lately. This is a Micronaut Mego didn’t bring to the states, the female version of the Pharoid instead, her time chamber is the Statue of Liberty. I wouldn’t have bought this at ten but OMG I’ll take one now.  The above is a vintage one, but reproductions are cheap and abundant. 

Popeye the movie Colorforms (sponsored link)

I’ve probably said this before, but I unabashedly love this movie, I know it’s flawed, and its production involved mountains of Cocaine (never tried), but I was ten when I saw it at the Oshawa Center. Call it my personal  “Goonies,” ok? However, I’m aware it’s not for everyone. I like Harry Nilsson’s music, adore Shelly Duvall, and love comedic violence. Plus, Donald Moffat was REM on “Logan’s Run.” That’s all I got.

Whenever I mention colorforms, I also like to say that toy designer Mel Birnkrant shares all his knowledge. He probably has an anecdote about this set if you ask him on the book face, I wish more toy people were like Mel.

Cool as hell Spider-Man shirt from the 1970s (sponsored link) —

This kid’s shirt blows my mind, mainly for the appearance of (weirdly drawn) Man-Wolf! I was really drawn to these types of monster characters as a kid (Man-Bat fans represent!) so seeing them on merch always makes me smile.

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.”

Denys Fisher Android

Denys Fisher Android

I picked up this wonderful boxed Android from the Densy Fisher Cyborg Line at last summer’s PowerCon. It was a trade with my long-time and trusted friend Mark Huckabone, so I had never thought of opening it until today.

Denys Fisher Android

I got a real treat inside as the figure is C10 unused alongside his fabulous missiles, usually missing. 

For those not in the know, this is the Japanese Henshin Cyborg figure range by Takara. Toymaker Denys Fisher brought the line to the UK and crafted a wonderful back story for the characters in the form of comic strips on the box.

Denys Fisher Android

The artwork for this fabulous backstory is just so “British Annual” scratchy and raw; I adore it. I never saw these as a kid (Canadian), but I know for a fact that I’d have been obsessed with this line if I had. Clear Robot people who can turn into monsters in Mego scale? It’s a no-brainer for me.

Denys Fisher Android

I also just love the dramatic creative writing they employed, I want to “Strike Terror in a Soul” and have a “Hideous Mission” someday!

The post Denys Fisher Android – Enemy of Cyborg appeared first on PS.

Fantastic Four Water Pistol (eBay Link) —

France’s Pin Pin Toys carried a ton of products from Mego and AHI but also made their own products like this pretty non-descript water gun. The Fantastic Four are huge in France and well, that seems totally deserved. 

Spider-Man Sticker Book from France (eBay Link) —

I always really appreciate Super Heroe merchandise that uses it’s own artwork. It happens so rarely now but look at this fun cover, it’s gorgeous and hey, it’s all the movie Spideys.

70s DC Comics Kitchen Magnets (eBay Link) —

Oh look, childhood happiness. I still have the Robin I’ve had my entire life, there are marvel versions too and BarbaPappas!

Henshin Cyborg Operation Game (eBay Link) –—

My pal Ed posted this on the Mego Museum forums and I mean, it’s incredible. It’s the officially licensed Game of Operation but instead of a nude guy we get Henshin Cyborg. This is fortified awesome. 

Ideal Derry Daring adventure set (eBay Link) —

Derry Daring was Evel Knievel but for girls, it makes sense I’m sure lots of girls wanted to play with that stunt set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a carded figure before and I am in love with the artwork. This is really awesome.

Superman Sleeping Bag (eBay Link) —

I love comic book Sleeping bags especially ones where Superman is burping and beating up Marlon Brando from “The Wild One.”

Weird Bootleg Tarzan figure (eBay Link) __

Weird Tarzan figures like this are the Faberge egg of my house. I’ve got them everywhere, I can’t resist them!

Dutch Bionic Man Turbo Tower Set (eBay Link) —

Clipper was the Netherlands distributor for Kenner products (we have a Clipper catalog here) and I just really love the packaging on this wonderful toy.

Marvel Superhero Stamps (eBay Link) —

I loved Super Hero stamps as a kid and completely forget they were a thing. It did not give me a life long love of stamps but I think they’re incredible and wish i had to money.

Color Forms Tru Dimension set (eBay Link)—

These were 3D hobby sets introduced in 1976 by Colorforms and the brain child of toy inventory Mel Birnkrant. If you want to read more about them, read Mel’s story on them and then enjoy his incredible website.

‘Because our last lil’ mini for the 70s Saturday Morning preview went so well, we thought we’d give it another go. Only this time: a supercut of Japanese Toy Commercials from the 70s! We figured 18 minutes of brilliant and insightful commentary, and voila! Another Pod Stallions masterpiece to deliver to the masses. Um, except, as we do, we got a little carried away and, thru no fault of our own, started discussing things barely related to the video…so we kept them in. (Hopefully nothing too incriminating). So let’s call this one Commentary +. Enjoy! ”
