Star Wars Overalls

Just in case you forgot what decade Star Wars came out, it was the 1970s. I wish I could I say I owned these but this is courtesy of my pal David Lockwood. 

I'm pretty sure the comments section of this post will be "I'd wear those right now"

Toy-Ventures: Kamen Rider Mystery Figure

Bit of a departure this week as I'm talking about a figure I literally don't know anything about. This mysterious figure is from Portugal, appears to have been made in the late 1970s and is clearly based on the Kamen Rider tv series from Japan.

The big question is why? Why make a very nice unlicensed action figure of a character nobody in Europe has seen? Who released this? I really don't know if we'll ever find out.

Bee-Gee's Fever- Catch it!

I never got the fever although i didn't mind the brothers Gibb. Years later my teenage son would start playing BeeGee's records loudly, I guess that's how you rebel against parents who still listen to GWAR.

Stretchable Heroes

1979 was a good year for corn syrup filled heroes and monsters. Kenner would eventually sue Mego over their Elastic Heroes line.

Superhero AM Radios

What was your AM Radio as a kid? Mine was "Little Sprout" from the "Green Giant" commercials, I assume my mother won it.

It was pretty cool but my older sibling had an FM radio in her room, so i mainly just kept my door open so I could hear Black Sabbath.

Toy-Ventures 20- My Star Wars Collection

Do you have collecting rules you follow? Let's hear them in the comments section.
