RARE Vintage Amusement Ride Flying Butterfly Bug Insect

Vintage Amusement Park Ride Car (sponsored link) ––

I don’t know where I would put it, but I’d love to wake up and see something from a carnival every day. I don’t think I’ve ever not been happy to see one. 

Arco Space Target Set (sponsored link) —

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to compile all the discount Darth Vaders and Storm Troopers we got from 77 until….I guess now.

Inflatable Vending Machine Monsters (Sponsored link)—

The seller has a couple of these; the imaginative monster designs are so emblematic of the era. 

The Avengers Emma Peel Doll by Fairylight (sponsored link) ––

This is a pretty incredible lot of Fairylight Emma Peel dolls, and these are the subject of a great article in Toy-Ventures Issue 5, coincidentally, written by the seller. 

Martian Chronicles Poster (sponsored link) —

I have always been fond of the Martian Chronicles TV mini series; although it’s slow at times and some effects are not dazzling, it still does justice to many of the tales. The primary reason I like this series is its sense of style, and this poster really showcases that. I’ve wanted it for decades, but I’d either have to take down a poster or build a new house.

The post Toy-Ventures Issue 5 is ready for Pre-Order appeared first on PS.

Ourways Studios produced some of the wildest superhero merch in the 70’s, best known for their awesome stickers and decals their product features art by some of the true greats like Neal Adams and John Romita. There was something so incredibly cool about a time when a company could have both the Marvel and DC license…..

It’s hard to believe those large stickers only wholesaled at $0.90 bringing their retail cost to under $2.00, that’s value!

I’m a grown man but can’t get over the term “Super Dumps”. I’d be surprised if any of these amazing bins survived to this day.

The Joint Action Heroes were heavily advertised in Comic Books at the time, at one point I think Our Way also licensed Planet of the Apes. Seeing that Wonder Woman in the baggie like that always makes me laugh, I’m really immature….

These Jointed Giants are fantastic representations of the classic giants of the industry.

These puffy stickers illustrate the one thing I really like about Our Ways product, not only do you get the major characters but the second string as well, Iron Man, Aquaman, heck even Luke Cage got a sticker from Our Way.

These stand-ups always catch my eye on Ebay, such beautiful representations of the characters, I can’t really spot artists like some can but I spy some Infantino and Adams in there.

I never saw this display at retail as a kid but I might freak if I had. Remember when toy companies could put Spider-Man and Batman on the same display? I miss those days….
