Happy Friday, here is another one from the recently digitized archive, this is the revised for the Mattel Battlestar Galactica toy line that clearly states the missiles no longer fire. We all know why…. More frakking cool toys:
Rascal Robots
Rascal Robots by Tomy were such a “right place/right time” creation. Awesome wind up robots that fit in with your Star Wars “guys”? Who wouldn’t want that? Personally I liked to pretend mine was IQ9 from “Star Blazers”.
Kenner Jedi
So instead of Leia, this ad features slave General Madine, the most boring Kenner figure ever IMO (and the last figure I ever purchased, talk about going out with a whimper.) Even Jabba seems to be yawning.
It’s Jigglin’ Time?
Behold the strangest bit of Marvel comic merchandise I have ever witnessed, it certainly beats Hulk Spider-Man toilet paper and that’s saying something. Behold “Jiggles and the Thing”, while that sounds like a Marvel team up between Tanya Roberts and Ben Grimm, it’s actually some sort of weird gelatin product. I’m not sure I’d eat […]
Japanese Evel Knievel
I’m back from Mego Meet and I bring many virtual presents in the form of the sights I encountered there. Let’s start with this, a Popy Evel Knievel stunt set or as they dubbed it “The Evel Knievel Challenge Machine”. I had to do some Guerilla photography on this one because it had just been […]
Aw Yeah Mego Meet 2017!
This weekend marks the annual Mego Meet convention in Skokie, IL. I’ll be heading there to help out at the door, see old friends and spend money on things I probably don’t need. If you’re in the area, it’s a terrific show and we’d love to have you. If not, I’ll be posting live pics […]
Kenner Indiana Jones on Sale
This piece literally fell out of a drawer this morning, I find it wonderful that some kid kept this clipping for 30 years until it landed on my desk. For More Kenner Indiana Jones stuff, check out this page.
Star Wars Play Masks by Palitoy
The idea of Halloween style masks being marketed all year long is a wise one to me. I would have been all over this UK display.
The Top Ten Coolest 1970s Wonder Woman Merchandise
The Top Ten Coolest 1970s Wonder Woman Merchandise The 1970s were a good time for female heroes, between Jaime Sommers, The Angels, Police Woman and Diana Prince, sisters were kicking butt like never before. Wonder Woman was not only on prime time but a Saturday morning fixture with “The Super Friends”, this combined with her […]
Aviva Star Trek the Motion Picture Merchandise
I absolutely love Star Trek: The Motion Picture merchandise, especially because I could still buy the majority of it at stores when I was in college.
