<\/span>After their runaway success with the Star Trek<\/a> line of toys, it shouldn’t come as a shock that AHI snapped up the rights to this then new series Space:1999. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
“Sci Fi mania” was sweeping America thanks to the reruns of Star Trek playing in syndication across America and Space:1999<\/strong> promised to be even a bigger hit. It had a huge budget, incredible special effects and name stars Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. While the series didn’t replace Star Trek, we did get some cool toys out of the deal.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Azrak
The Eagle Transporter was one of the more memorable things about the series and honestly has it’s own fan base.
\"Azrak<\/em><\/strong>
More Parachuting, AHI always managed to sneak these in. This one is a pretty good likeness of Martin Landau. <\/em>
\"Eagle<\/em><\/strong>
This is an Eagle pilot, I’m going to pretend it’s Alan Carter. <\/strong><\/em>
\"Azrak<\/em><\/strong>
The Memorable Moon Buggies didn’t get enough merchandise.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is part of our (hopefully) growing <\/em><\/strong>AHI Space:1999 Toy Gallery.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I noticed a lot of cool 70’s related DVDs came out in the past few weeks and thought I’d draw attention to them:<\/span><\/strong>The Second Season of Streets of San Francisco is out today<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show<\/span><\/strong> <\/a><\/span>is something I need to buy, not only because I watched it on Saturday mornings but that EMU gave my wife nightmares as a kid.<\/span><\/span>The <\/span>Fourth Season Of Hawaii Five-O<\/strong><\/span><\/a> also came out recently, I spent my college years watching this show at 3 am. I don’t remember any of the episodes.<\/span>
<\/span>
The Remake of Get Smart<\/strong> also brought us a DVD release of the Nude Bomb
<\/strong><\/a>which had Don Adams returning as Max Smart for the big screen (no Barbra Feldon though). I’ll probably pick this up, not because it’s a good movie (seriously, it’s not funny<\/em>) but I saw it ten times as a kid and has that great shoot out scene in the now defunct Universal Studios Battlestar Galactica ride<\/span><\/a>. I should probably just buy the original series though….
<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>The fourth season of The Incredible Hulk<\/span> <\/a>has that great episode where he runs into another Hulk played by Dick “Swamp Thing” Durock. I need this too..<\/p>\n
