Toy-Ventures: Filmation Super 7 Merchandise

Time to talk about my 40-year obsession with the Filmation series "Tarzan and the Super 7" and my long hunt for merchandise which are mainly cheap rack toys but I love it none the less.

Super 7 Puffy Stickers by Imperial Toys

It's been a while since I got anything new in my quest to own all merchandise from my favourite saturday morning show,  Tarzan and the Super 7.

Lucky for me I found a sweet deal on a complete set of Imperial stickers based on all the characters! More after the jump. 

Love Boat Puffy Stickers

Technical issues are blocking your regularly scheduled Friday catalog feature. As I tried to do repairs, I found these under my desk.  I have no recollection of purchasing these but frankly I'm not terribly surprised, especially seeing as one of them is a big delicious picture of Ted Lange.

Happy Friday everyone! I'm off to drink beer and watch "Jason of Star Command"...

More Glowing Monster Puffy Stickers

So in my post two weeks ago about these wonderful items, I ended with "does anyone collect these?". Enter Mike, who chimed in with "I do" and he proceded to share his killer collection with us. I had no idea that some of these, like the giant version pictured above, existed. The photos below are going to cause my wallet some harm, check 'em out:

Out of all of these, I love the little frame for this Wolfman (which is actually a swipe from the Delaurentis Kong poster)

Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get three free promotional post cards.

Glowing Monster Puffy Stickers

One of the things that I see every morning that makes me happy is a panel of these, produced in the late 1970s by God only knows who, these puffy stickers appeared everywhere when I was a kid. I've got some in on my old Black Hole lunch box, they're in an album and I'm pretty sure I left a few in my old bedroom.

This thing cost me ten bucks, can't beat that with a stick.

I seem to recall getting them in a gumball machine but after one search on ebay, I can see that they were sold in small packs and were even sold as Halloween Treats!

One of these days, I'll try and collect every packaging variation. I mentioned they glow in the dark right? Cause I think they're required by law to...

Puffy Monsters

I am loving these Universal Monsters Puffy Stickers produced by Gordy in 1982. I will confess I had a puffy sticker phase and did have some Monster ones but I never ran into these before, I'd have been all over them. I had have an unhealthy obsession with all things Creature from the Black Lagoon.

I think it's neat that they added stuff like Tarantula to the mix in these.

What's a more appropriate way to end a week devoted to back to school than by paying tribute to those items that often ended up on our binders, Puffy Stickers! Imperial Toy was one of the biggest producer of these back in the day, even when they didn't have the license they would come awfully close to mimicking it. Imperial did have some really familiar faces such as Web Woman, Buck Rogers, hell they made John Belushi stickers!

The Super 7!

I was looking through this cool puffy stickers catalog (which I am going to get to in the fall) and my I found this killer box for the Filmation Super 7 Stickers. It's very rare to find any merchandise for these characters. I remember a kid in my class having these and me being very jealous of that fact. It's a damned shame that this series may never see the light of day on DVD, so far only the Freedom Force shorts are available.

Oh Web Woman, when will we be reunited?

Speaking of DVD's, it's Tuesday: Gosh, it's slim pickings today, the only thing new that may be of interest is the Fletch Collection, which is a box set of Fletch and Fletch Lives. The first one is Chevy Chase at his peak, even if it isn't really faithful to the (very good) series of novels. The sequel is one of those things I'll watch on a hung over afternoon, so like every time it's on.

Seeing as the rest of the week's releases is mostly stuff I'm not into, I'll give a mini review. I managed to finally pick up a copy of the Legacy collection of the Mummy and really recommend it, some of the extras are the same on all the Legacy sets but the little piece on Jack Pierce was quite nice.

If you're a fan of the Universal Monsters, I would give it a giant undead thumbs up. I'm sure a Wolfman DVD is in the works what with the remake coming up, can't wait!
