\"Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n

Spanish Frankenstein Game (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

I know little about this but I love it and want it to adopt me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A complete set of Tonka Steel Monsters (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

While I was a teen at the time, I totally coveted this obscure 80s toyline. It’s basically Mad Max without the name, so EVERY Italian rip-off rolled into one. You get all the stereotypes, Mohawk Guy, Warrior Princess and of course, Metal Face. The only figure Tonka should have added was Fred Williamson. Did I mention that after two years, I finally finished my set? I would have jumped on this otherwise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Japanese<\/a><\/p>\n

Japanese Time of the Apes Figures (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

For those who don’t watch MST3k, Time of the Apes is Japan’s total rip-off of you guessed it, Planet of the Apes. I adore this show, especially the ape fashion on the show. I’ve never been able to follow the TV Movie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Buck<\/a><\/p>\n

Buck Rogers Paint by Numbers Set (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

The title says it all, painting of Buck freaking Rogers, that’s high art.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Mechanical Store Display Elf (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

I’m not much of a Christmas type, but I love store window robots. Maybe it’s because they’re slightly creepy, or just seeing them as a kid. Perhaps it’s a mix of both, but I totally want this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Pod<\/a>

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The PlaidStallions Polyester Pals<\/a> have arrived and come in green and orange. Be the first kid in the sandbox with our Podcast mascots!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Polyester<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you miss toy collector magazines?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s.

We\u2019ve got 7 issues and climbing; please\u00a0check our page here<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0visit our store<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our latest book is “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” a love letter to cheeky copyright-infringing toys. You can get this new book via the\u00a0PlaidStallions Shop<\/a>, On\u00a0Amazon (Affiliate Link)<\/a> or\u00a0eBay (eBay Link)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
