Sure some of you might argue about the Shogun Warriors Godzilla but the HG Toys Godzilla VS the Tricephalon set actually gives you an entire to city to trash, complete with army men and Monster to fight.When I first saw this in the back of Famous Monsters, my mouth started to water a little. I […]
I loved this set so much as a kid that it makes me a little emotional. Such durable toys that 75% of this stuff is still intact including my beloved Gorilla. What bargain at under $12.
The Space:1999 merchandising explosion was a one year affair but some really cool toys made it out during that period. The pinnacle (for me, besides the Mego figures) is the Mattel Eagle Playset with figures, this was two years before Star Wars, nobody had ever done a space ship with 3 3/4″ figures before. I’ve […]

A two for one today, the uber cool Flash Gordon toy line based on the Filmation cartoon and the Mork and Mindy toy line which is made of 100% recycled ideas!

The TV commercial is especially memorable but to my disappointment, it’s not on youtube.Essentially a knock off of the Mattel Vertibird, Remco also did a very cool Batman version of this set. Mattel made an Eagle one […]

I don’t like to be beaten by a toy but Stretch Monster is the proverbial “one that got away” for me. Enemy to Stretch Armstrong, I have coveted one since my neighbour Donny brought one home in 1977. Yet, someone always beat me. The last time I tried to win one (1998) my lousy dial […]
The CB craze was something that taught more than one toy company a valuable lesson, no matter how fast you can turn out a product, sometimes it’s just not fast enough to jump on a fad. CB Mchaul was the Mego attempt to cash in, a series of nine figures, three vehicles (although a fourth […]
