I know I promised a Cylon picture (and I’ll get to that) but I just realized that today makes the fourth anniversary of this blog. So it seemed fitting to unveil Card #0 of the PlaidStallions trading cards, the Brick Mantooth action figure. I cannot believe that it has been four years since I first […]
Card number 28 is dedicated to one of my personal favourite toy lines of my child hood, Mego’s Pocket Superheroes. Released in the late 1970s, these 3 3/4″ figures kept my love of Superheroes alive in a time when everything around was space orientated.For more on this killer line, check out the Mego Museum Pocket […]
Card #27 is Milton Bradley’s Star Bird Avenger, this card wasn’t decided by me or the factor of what I had as a kid, to be honest I was never aware of this toy back in ’79. I held a contest at the Mego Museum Trading Card Forum (where you can trade PS cards) and […]
It’s been a while since I unveiled a trading card and this is going out of order but what the hell, it’s Halloween. Card #29 is the Remco Monsters. Anyone who has read this blog knows I’m terribly fond of the line and I loved this great glow in the dark shot, so it was […]
Trading Card #26 is Palitoy Space:1999, I did this card for the 2009 Megomeet convention back in June because timing didn’t allow a Megomuseum card for the event (as the card quality shows, it takes me a lot less time to do these). This UK exclusive toyline kind of changed my life, in that it […]
Trading Card #25 is Nerfman by Parker Brothers, he’s kind of forgotten now but this guy ruled, so I really wanted to honour him a bit. As an added nostalgic bonus, Nerfman is from the first toy dealer catalog I ever found because it came from my dad. Time for another great link in the […]
Card #24 is the Densy Fisher Doctor Who line, it may seem weird to do a Mego line here considering the Megomuseum cards but I’m not sure when we’re ever going to get around to this line and me being a monster fan, just had to do it. I consider it a foreign mego subset. […]
The Age of Rom has come! Card #23 is Rom: Space Knight by Parker Brothers Rom is such an iconic piece of 70s lore and I find it funny how many people tell me they never knew he was a toy! That’s because while Parker Brothers did an admirable job of marketing the toy, Marvel […]
The final new card is Torpedo Fist, one of my favourite action figures as a kid mostly because, he could punch other action figures! I didn’t plan on doing two Big Jim characters so close together but when Livio from Bigjim.es put this image on the fourm, it was just too tempting not to.As an […]
Yay, it’s Cylon day, not the sexy Cylons of recent times but the old school kind (which if you find them sexy, I guess that’s ok). First off is the new Cylon Trading card, (#21 for anybody counting) I never had these 12″ electronic figures but they make for a more interesting card then the […]
