5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Ideal Monster Squad prototype figures (eBay link)– What can I say? These are my grails and I’ve always wanted to own them but I have kids in college and need a new roof so have at them! We covered these wonderful little buggers in Issue 2 of Toy-Ventures […]
Toy-Ventures returns with a tribute to one of my favourite Science Fiction shows of all time, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s UFO. This cool-looking series only ran a single season but there is plenty of awesome merchandise from all over the world. We look at Eidai Grip, Dinky toys, Custom Mego, 16 mm films, Imai model […]
Ebay Link: 1970 Gerry Anderson UFO Flexi Sonosheet Book Record Asahi Sonorama Japan This is a book and record set in Japanese based on the Gerry Anderson television series “UFO”, which is sort of dark for a kid’s record (look at the pictures). UFO is probably my favourite Anderson show and this is easily […]
One would be foolish to go up against the Dinky armada in the late 1970s…..
UFO by Purnell (1971) One of the nicest things I received at Mego Meet was this colouring book, which frankly, I didn’t know existed until it was placed in my hands. The one caveat my pal Corey had was that he hoped it would be featured on CBT. Wish granted! (One little bit of trivia, […]
Presenting the coolest cross ever toy I’ve seen in a long time, normally I am immune to spaceship models (cause I suck at painting them) but this just broke my brain. More after the Jump: My love for Gerry Anderson’s UFO and Space:1999 could fill a warehouse and to find out IMAI of Japan added […]

Dubbed “Super Space Theatre” these 14 movies were culled together from episodes of “Space:1999“, “UFO“, “Thunderbirds“, “Stingray“, “Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons” and the […]
Ever since I mocked up a set of parachuting AHI Super Monsters last year, I’ve been kind of smitten and inspired to make more. I had a major spurt of creativity this summer and here is the result. Above is a Brick Mantooth Parachutist, this was inevitable and I’ll likely do a bunch of different […]
UFO: Seeing is Believing Coloring Book By Whitman 1978 Another colouring book I found rummaging through Planet of the Stuff a couple of weeks ago. Not to be confused with the Gerry Anderson UFO coloring book we covered a few months back. Whitman had quite the little cottage industry capitalizing on the UFO craze in the late 60s/early 70s. […]
Seeing as it’s September 13th, there is no better time to talk about the creative force that was Gerry Anderson. Eventhough much of the man’s output was done before Jason and Brain were even an idea, their timeless quality has fans talking about them to this day. The guys show the evolution in puppets from […]
