Japanese Jaws 3D display (sponsored link)—

JAWS 3D is a guilty pleasure my wife and I both share; it’s just the perfect mix of schlock for us. If it’s on TV, we have to watch it, just like our “Goodfellas” rule. Seeing that Japan has recognized this film’s true greatness is another reason I want to move there. 

Sandokan film strips (sponsored link) —

I’m really intrigued by this film strip series, here showcasing the popular “Sandokan” pirate series. I wonder what other properties got such treatment? 

JotaStar Doctor Who Card Game (sponsored link)

I think I’ve featured these before but I’m a sucker for weird Tom Baker merchandise. A lot of the merchandising art back then was kind of …depressing.

Bootleg Blacula Halloween Mask (Sponsored Link)–

I don’t know the origins of this mask, but it sure feels like William Marshall was the inspiration.

Buck Rogers Game from Brazil (sponsored link) —

I have never seen this toy before. I think the most interesting thing about it is how Joseph Wiseman is so predominant on the packaging. Wiseman’s Draco was largely cut out of the film and only mentioned in the series, so it’s interesting that they promoted him as the big bad. I also just found out he was Canadian.

Special thanks to my friend Courtney who found all these treasures while I was sick.

Tara Toys Space City Playset (sponsored link) 

That some awesome packaging art and it just gets better after that because it’s filled with Timee Toys Galaxy Laser Team figures, hooray!

Hank Williams Jr Black Velvet portrait (sponsored link)

I want this, I don’t know a damned thing about the man. I want to walk by it daily and gently whisper, “I am not yet ready for some football.”

Little Creepies Monster Game (sponsored link)

I’ve never seen a monster board game from 1974, and groovy art is involved. Will wonders ever cease?

Popy World Heroes Ultraman family (sponsored link) —

For those not in the know, these were Popy Japan’s attempts to create another line in scale with Kenner Star Wars (which they also sold in Japan), using Japanese heroes like Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and the 5 Man series.

I got heavily into these about a decade back. It was a really positive experience working with other collectors to buy lots. I wish there were more for me to collect.

Check out my video about the line here:

Vintage Tom Baker Doctor Who Shirt (sponsored link) —

I really wish I could figure out how to display something like this. That art is incredible and just reminds me of being 7 years old.

Original art for MTC Blue Thunder toy (Sponsored Link) –

I fondly remember the MTC Blue Thunder gathering dust at Toys R Us next to the Arco V guns as a teen. This isn’t my grail but I sure do think it’s swell. Toy packaging art was the reason I ever picked up a paint brush and it made my life better.

Shogun Warriors Suspenders (Sponsored eBay Link) —

I’m not sure what the connection to Raideen is here, also isn’t that the flag  of Germany?

Fred Flintstone Parachuting Rack Toy (Sponsored eBay Link) —

As silly as these things can be, I haven’t verified anything but I’m certain Fred Flinstone jumped out of a plane at least once. Yes, I’m trying to justify this thing.

Gor King of the Terrons from the UK (sponsored link) 

I have a well-known Hasbro Super Joe addiction, and even sweeter is the line in its UK packaging. Dubbed “Commander Power” in England, Super Joe didn’t do well there either, but LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS BOX. I want it but can’t afford it right now. It’s good to want things though.

The one and only Mego Meet is this August 17-18, 2024 as part of Zolocon in Warminster, PA. Click here for our Facebook Page or here for our forums.

Doctor Who Action Letraset (sponsored eBay link)–\

This one tasks me, even though some kid already did the transfers, I think that adds to the mystique. I don’t know who drew these things but they were amazing and I love this so much.

H.R. Puppet Stuff! By Kroffty
This colourful piece tracks the careers of the legendary Sid and Marty Krofft through puppet merchandise, it will make you smile.

The Lost Outer Space Men

Godzilla’s Gang
Ray Miller does a deep dive into the 1978 Mattel “Godzilla’s Gang” toyline, highlighting their origins. This is a lot of fun.

The Guide to Denys Fisher Doctor Who
One of my passions, the Mego produced Doctor Who toy line is explored in great detail with prototype shots, variations and never before seen reveals.

A figure called Sloane
Chris G blew us away when he discovered the abandoned Kenner Toy Line to the obscure 1970s TV series “A Man Called Sloane”. Did I mention that I love that show?
