Pac Toys Lords of Light Super Cut of Toy Commericials

Thanks to the amazing AcroRay (link to his channel below) we have this wonderful supercut of marketing from Toy Fair 1984. PAC toys attempted to create the Lords of Light toy line from Mego Micronauts Molds and glow sticks, an ambitious and fun toy concept that sadly didn't make it to market.

This rare piece shows two surviving tv spots and offers rare glimpses of the toy line that cut short too quickly.

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.

Tonka Winnebago

I never had this as a kid but because of "Shazam!", I totally wanted it. Also, I required a Mego Shazam figure to pull this off right. 

My current retirement dream is to own a real one and you'd better believe I'm putting that lightning bolt on the front.

Heroes World Bag

Damien shared me this vintage shopping bag from Heroe's World, it's not for sale, I checked. Like a lot of kids, I dreamed of visiting one of their stores and never did so this little piece of memorabilia is so cool to see.

Toy-Ventures: ERTL Star Trek 3

We're back after a short break and going to take a look at a 1980s property for a change.

Escape from New York: The Boardgame

I really need to get this game for my next family game night. I always equate this movie with Starlog, they really gave it a lot of coverage and hyped me to see it. That just took a while cause I was ten when it came out...

B,J and the Bear model by AMT

I really want to give AMT mad props for including the show's true star in the cabin. I also like to pretend that "BJ and the Bear" took place in the "Planet of the Apes" universe and Bear would eventually rise up over his oppressor.

Bags of Fun: Action Figures

As a kid, I figured out that combining these sets with other dimestore novelties could result in some B-Movie goodness, so I had Cowboys vs Giant bugs and Army Men vs Dinosaurs quite often. This is the only skill of merit that I taught my children.
