ERTL Super Stars Toys

What wasn’t made into a toy in the 70s/early 80s? I’m sure there are other ERTL Super Stars toys, but Rocky III and “The Bandit” make even the Love Boat toys seem kinda like good ideas.

Japanese Star Wars Cards

I collected several series of Star Wars cards as a kid, from the awesome Wonder Bread cards to the green, yellow and red series. As an adult, I’ve been super interested in foreign versions of collectible and was really excited to discover these Japanese cards.

Mego Kiss Dolls

One of Mego’s very odd licensing choices: Kiss. Sure they were huge. And awesome. And had an Army. But 12″ dolls? Im glad they did ’cause I love Kiss, but still…Mego Kiss

Creatures of Delight

Last year I met Oliver, creator/owner of Creatures of Delight, at NYCC and was blown away by the amazing foam latex critters he’s dreamed up. For NYCC this year there is a new line of limited edition critters called “Unusual Suspects” that is about as cool as it gets. If you want something unique for your monster lover for Xmas you should examine his wares!

Ghostbusters Toys

Thinking about a costume for next Halloween or a cosplay? Check out these upcoming limited edition GhostBusters toys from Mattel’s Epic Creations line of toys. Some of these, like the trap and the goggles, are already out, but the proton wand won’t see the light of day until December.
