Card #19 is Big Jim’s “greatest challenge” Dr. Steel. I still remember seeing the commercial for the first time as a kid, I was in my parents room watching Gene Roddenberry’s “Planet Earth” on the black and white one Saturday afternoon when it aired. Big Jim had an enemy? He has a silver hand and […]
I’m not sure why it took me so long to get around to the Fisher Price Adventure People but they’re card #18. As anyone who reads this blog might already know, I have a mild obsession with this toyline, they are one of the most memorable (and durable!) action figures of the 1970s. The set […]
The final card I did this go round, Bullet Man was one I really wanted to do because I have a lot of happy memories playing with him. I struggled finding the right image but eventually chose this one so I could shoe horn in my other favourite Joe toy of that era, the Capture […]
The one overwhelming suggestion I got for trading cards are the Mattel Shogun Warriors, which is pretty easy to do considering how iconic they are. Mazinga is special to me because he was the first vintage toy I bought at a yard sale, bought it from a friend of mine who kind of thought I […]
Yeah, I did another batch of trading cards that I’ll slowly reveal on slow news days. The first being my favourite catalog spread of all time, so it’s surprising it didn’t come out earlier. There are something so damn awesome about seeing two of my favourite toylines (in this case the Lincoln Monsters and the […]
Card #14 goes out to my pal Scott Adams. Scott and I work on the Megomuseum and this is his other obsession, Child Guidance Sesame Street Finger Puppets. Scott asked me a couple of weeks before this how I felt about doing a card like this and me being a Sesame Street nut, it was […]
It’s time to reveal another PlaidStallions trading card, this one comes directly from the brain of my pal Rob Chatlin. Rob has been an tremendous behind the scenes help to PS plus it was a darn good idea so it became card #14. I don’t collect Gabriel Lone Ranger figures but I honestly think it’s […]
When I started out doing trading card #9, I wanted to do something for the ladies. The Fembot seemed like a great start, sure she’s a girl but also a robot whose face comes off, total win/win. For card #10, I felt the need to do something that wasn’t action figure based, the Green Machine […]
I forgot to mention the winners to our Space:1999 toy contest, for those who didn’t get it the answer to the question: “Who Created Space:1999”? was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, I also accepted simply Gerry Anderson. The 3 runners up who get a set of PS trading cards (that’s 1 through 8 plus a slmie […]
Card #6 should come as no shock to anyone, seeing as how much space I have devoted to Evel Knievel on the site. It almost felt like obligation to make it, so I did it early rather than later. It is arguably the most famous 70’s toy I’ve done thus far. Number 7 is probably […]
