Mexican Star Wars

I love this (Knock off, judging by the misspelling of the film's title) piece from Mexico, so much so that I put it in my book Rack Toys. Funny thing is, I have no idea what it's for, I assume it's for an action figure but I have no clue. L'il help SW fans?

El Squadron Lobo Big Jim Gallery Updated

It's been ten years since I updated my little tribute page to the Kid Acero line of toys and it was long overdue.

 Known to us as Big Jim, Mexican toy maker Cipsa infused the line with a heavy dose of creativity. The result is a Big Jim's wolfpack with a rich science fiction flavour.

Also, because these toys are also incredibly rare, i had to get some help. My pal Jesus was happy enough to share his amazing collection with the world. Just look at that Jack Kirby packaging.

 So check out the all new Kid Acero Gallery at PlaidStallions!

AND THEN IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE MOOD FOR MORE JIM

 

Paracaidista del planeta de los simios

Even though the packaging reads "General Urko" that's clearly Dr. Zaius toting that rifle in a very un-Dr. Zaius like way. Have I mentioned that I want this more than oxygen right now?

Mexican Aquaman

Tracked down a toy I've wanted for ages recently and it's certainly not the Aquaman, let alone a Shogun Warrior you're probably familiar with but I can explain some of this mystery after the jump. 

Star War

I've had this Mexican backer card for years, although I've never fully known what toys it was used to sell. My best theory is parachuting figurines that were copies of the Kenner figures but I'm not sure.

All i know is, I love the art on this thing though it looks largely swiped from Marvel's movie adaptation. It may be unlicensed bit I love it's crude charm more than anything on the shelves today.
