I have a real love for this UK cartoon. Mainly because TVO aired it before Doctor Who, but also because it was a weird show. The Wisp was voiced by Kenneth Williams from the “Carry On” films, and you always feel like there’s an adult joke buried somewhere. Also, I can do a mean Kenneth Williams impersonation. I’m no longer invited to parties BECAUSE MY FRIENDS ARE ALL JEALOUS OF MY TALENT!<\/strong><\/p>\n As an unwritten rule, I tend to gravitate towards 60s-90s pop culture on these posts, but Superman is one of the GOATs of licensing. I love this wonderful depiction of Superman taking a pair of insurance salesmen out for a toot.<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve never heard of this toy nor the company itself but I sure know it’s creator. Art Cloaky created “Gumby and Pokey” and “Davey and Golaith” both shows I watched on “The Commander Tom Show” as a kid.\u00a0 I love that the package says tongue and teeth included, that’s great value. I’m going to assume the estate of Clarke Gable burned this company to the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n I don’t collect this toy line, but I was a teenager when it came out, and I did kind of love it, especially the cartoon, which was so bonkers at the time. I wondered if anyone was paying attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking back now, I can see what appealed to me: they’re Shogun Warrior-sized Kaiju and that, my friends, spells fun. Not literally, of course but GaiKing would have kicked their asses.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ok, this is going to be a long story, but it’s a good one. <\/strong><\/p>\n In the mid-1980s, two of the ITC Super Space Theatre<\/a> “films” (which were old TV series repackaged as ersatz movies) were distributed under the banner of Sybil Danning’s Adventure Video<\/a>. These tapes mainly featured forgotten genre movies, with host segments by Danning herself, clad in sexy outfits, and dialogue that included a bit of innuendo.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This was essentially in response to the Elvira-hosted tapes, which were selling like hotcakes. Well, Martin Landau heard about it and summoned his lawyer, who requested samples and then sued. The Landau\/Bain camp felt that the whole thing disrespected Space: 1999. I have to admit, the prints aren’t great.\u00a0 The tapes were yanked from distribution, making copies harder to find (trust me, I know).<\/strong><\/p>\n This is not only the set Landau received, but it also includes a letter to his lawyer. So it’s quite a piece of history.<\/strong><\/p>\n It also contains the CBS FOX release of Destination Moonbase Alpha, which I don’t think was subject to any legal action. It was a well done release, I still have my copy!<\/strong><\/p>\n #ebay #sponsored #space1999<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures Magazine will feature the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalogue, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Blood-A-Rama Shock Festival Pack<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Toy-Ventures is our magazine; we’re an independent publisher trying to bring back print toy magazines; if you would like to support us, please check out the latest issue: <\/span>https:\/\/plaidstallions.com\/reboot\/shop<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n Toy-Ventures Issue 12- Stretch Monster<\/p><\/div>\n Click Here for past installments of 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week<\/a><\/p>\n 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The Super Collector Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0combines all the news from Mego Museum and Plaid Stallions and a lot of other fun stuff across the Interwebs.
