Star Blazers was a huge phenomenon in my neighbourhood when it hit the airwaves in 1979, my friends and I would gather every day at the one house whose ariel got the channel just to see if the Argo did indeed save earth. That’s why these action figures produced by Nomura in Japan blew my […]
I’ve featured this before but it’s so awesome it deserves another pass, the Scooby Doo song and dance record player is one of the cooler record players I’ve ever seen. Fred don’t dance.
I got a lot of nice mail over Krofft week and many folks wanted to join in! Seeing as most of you have better collections than me, it made sense to showcase them here today. Manuel has a great selection of Krofft borad games, I’ve never seen the Bugaloo’s one above. A lot of folks […]
For me the most anticipated thing at Toy Fair 2015 was how the 3 3/4″ Flash Gordon line was going to turn out. I was elated to see BifBangPow had released this teaser image of the line a day early. They’ve really taken that retro feel and ran with it IMO, making some gorgeous figures […]
We wouldn’t be much of a 70s retro website without a discussion of Sid and Marty Krofft would we? I think we’d have to turn in our “Gen X” badges. Episode 27 takes from the days of HR Puf N Stuf but sadly gets cut short at “Pink Lady and Jeff” due to Jason became […]
Probably my most favourite of all Krofft shows would be Land of the Lost, I never missed it and it often scared the hell out of me. It was also one of the most heavily merchandised Krofft shows ever made, above is the Safari Shooter one of the many rack toys made. Speaking of Rack […]
This week’s podcast theme is the Krofft Supershow so I feel it appropriate to theme the week to some of my favourites from the brothers Krofft. Electrawoman and Dynagirl is absolutely in my top fiveKrofft shows. I didn’t understand what drew me to this show as a kid but these ladies had my attention. Above […]
I found this guy at an antique mall last month, at $20 I acted like I was stealing it and almost ran away. Truth is, as tough as this stuff is to find (especially in a Canadian package) it isn’t really all that in demand. Part of the problem is that I probably get asked […]
Chemtoy was one of America’s premiere producer of lower cost novelties and Rack Toys during the 60s and 70s. Their offering for 1974 was a fun mix of generic staples like bubbles, paddle balls, toy guns that you can still find to this day. On the licensing side they had everything from Batman to the […]
I’m proud to finally announce that Odeon’s latest action figure, Captain Canuck is now available to order. For years, I had been struggling to find an iconic Canadian character to bring to market, many of the attempts dissolved when rights weren’t clear. Which was kind of a bummer. Thanks to my friend and partner in […]
