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

 <\/p>\n

Big Jim Boris the Devious Chauffer<\/a> (sponsored Link)<\/h3>\n

Another European James Bond Masterpiece, Boris was also marketed under the James Bond 007 Banner. I found this guy in the 80s via toyshop and immediately fell in love with him. Not only is he made up of some of my favourite Big Jim PACK<\/a> Characters (namely Dr. Steel<\/a> and Torpedo Fist<\/a>) but he totally looks like he came out of a Matt Helm film! There is no downside.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

3 Henshin Cyborgs with vintage Outfits<\/a> (sponsored link) —<\/h3>\n

A couple of really neat deals happened this week with Henshin Cyborg, one of those toy lines I dabble in but mainly window shop. I thought this lot of three Shonin Cyborgs were tempting. I’m passing this temptation along in case it’s of benefit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
\nA Man called Sloane Promotional Poster from NBC<\/a> (sponsored link)<\/h3>\n

For some reason, I am obsessed with the short-lived 1979 NBC Spy Television series that was definitely channelling the Roger Moore James Bond era. It was pretty silly with androids, weather machines and oh so many death rays. I have never seen this poster before. Conrad replaced the actor in the pilot, and I find it interesting that Sloane almost had a mustache. This will haunt me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Blake's<\/a><\/p>\n

1979 Blake’s 7 British Annual<\/a> (sponsored link) –<\/h3>\n

I am fond of both the Annual format and this groundbreaking sci-fi series; you’d think I’d own one, but nope. I also haven’t finished the first season Blu-rays I got last Christmas, I think I’ll fix that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Bruce Action<\/a> (sponsored link)-<\/h3>\n

I don’t know what “Bruce Action” is but I think I could use some. This toy is a masterpiece of both sloppiness and inadvertent hilarity.<\/strong>
