Toy-Ventures Magazine Issue 10 brings you Pulsar the movie!

Toy-Ventures Magazine Issue 10

Toy-Ventures Magazine Issue 10

Issue 10 starts with a stunning piece of art by Peter Carsillo, who told me he’d do a Pulsar cover ages ago should the need arise. So when I reached out, we began to explore concepts. When the idea of a movie poster came up, I mentioned “Infra-Man” probably because I was staring at it while messaging him.

Just from that, Peter crafted a Basil Gogos-inspired movie poster for a Pulsar movie that, sadly I cannot watch. I also want to point out that I will get that movie made or die trying.

My favourite thing about this is the “Pulsar Universe” Peter brought to life here. A bevy of beauties, a fleet of vehicles but also adding the ironic twist that they all are repurposed from other Mattel toylines. That is…Chef’s Kiss toy satire, and I love it. There are a couple of other toy easter eggs in there that I will leave for you to find them all. 

SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME OFFER-

Bootleg V- Italian Visitor Figure

bootleg V - Visitors

As follow-up to our video about bootleg V items (see it here) I took some photos of the Italian Visitor figure I recently picked up. I have to tell you that it’s one of my favourite additions in a while. That is mainly because my V collection is somewhat small. 

bootleg knock off V

Unlike many bootleg/knock-off toys, this isn’t repurposed. This company sculpted this specifically for this purpose, and it is really well done. It looks like how a Visitor would be depicted on a book cover or misleading poster.

Help Rescue Palitoy’s Lost TV Toy Commercials

Palitoy

Palitoy

https://youtu.be/HJsKwF29iTk

The Palitoy collecting community has a very unique opportunity to come together and help rescue more than 100 lost Palitoy television advertisements.

Currently there is an Action Man enthusiast who is in possession of 3 rolls of original 35mm film prints that contain 103 Palitoy TV adverts from the 1970s and these advertisements feature many popular vintage Palitoy brands such as Action Man, Pippa and Friends, Playdoh, Star Wars, Pocketeers, Tiny Tears, Ricochet Racers, Mego Star Trek, Mego Planet of the Apes, Mego Commander Power, Baby Alive and Little Big Man to name but a few.

While this library of commercials does include many advertisements that are already available on the internet (albeit in much lower quality) there are also numerous TV adverts that have not been made available digitally since they were first aired on British television in the 1970s.

When the owner of these film prints took possession of them a number a years ago they had them professionally cleaned up and digitally scanned at a 2k quality by a professional studio and they paid for this service out of their own pocket. This person is now offering these adverts to the wider community but they understandably need to recoup some of their original investment.

Our aim is to secure these original film prints and the 2K quality digital transfers but first we need to reach our £5,000 funding goal (AUD$9,500 – USD$6,500).

If our funding goal is reached by 12pm GMT on the 24th June 2023, the current owner of these adverts will hand over the original film prints to former Palitoy Chief Toy Designer Bob Brechin who will then donate them to the Coalville Heritage Society and the 2K quality digital scans will be uploaded to a non-monetised YouTube channel for the whole Palitoy collecting community to enjoy.

You have a terrific opportunity here to help rescue a valuable piece of Palitoy history and all sponsors that donate £100 or more will have their name credited on a title card that will appear at the end of each Palitoy TV advertisement when it is uploaded to YouTube.

So let’s band together, raise the funds required to secure these original television advertisements and help preserve the history of Palitoy.

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

As mentioned in the latest episode of Toy-Ventures (which has a contest BTW) , I recently picked up this wonder GI Joe Adventure Team piece. I collect GI Joe but am what they call “Content.” I haven’t actively searched eBay in ages, and while I always keep my eyes open, I really didn’t have any wants. Then theecollector found a bunch of Canadian GI Joe outfits and sets.

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

 This one haunted me despite avoiding collecting carded outfits for money and space reasons. It was the combination of the 76 era card back with that funky orange and the fact that I realized I HAD THIS AS A KID! I kind of wasn’t in control; I just purchased it. The brain was going, “WTH?” but the heart knew what it was doing. 

 

GI Joe Adventure Team Photo Recon

 I also really dig this illustration of Joe, what a badass. The artwork is huge for this because, without it,  it’s just a jumpsuit and a camera. 

Here’s the 1976 GI Joe Catalog page for Photo Recon, which I need to redo for the site.

Mego Planet of the Apes Jail - Toy-Ventures magazine

Mego Planet of the Apes Jail – Toy-Ventures magazine

Working on issue 10 of Toy-Ventures Magazine, and for no good reason, I thought it might be fun to try and recreate the artwork of the beautiful accessories boxes. I am something of an impulsive creature.

My first attempt is the Planet of the Apes Jail, a silly toy with an awesome box. I had a few limitations with this one, like the Jail on the box differs from the toy. Also, you can get only so much dynamic action from a type 1 Mego figure, but I got close enough to share.

Pod Stallions 110: What We’re Watchin’

Keen-eared listeners of the Pod Stallions podcast know that those boys can talk, know a lot of stuff and have opinions, whether they’re asked for or not. Each episode peels back another layer of the enigma-onion that is BraSon, revealing more of their likes, loves and mehs. We thought it was a good time to rip another layer off and talk about What We’ve Been Watching Lately. Comedy, horror, Love Boat, documentary, sci-fi, Love Boat and punk rock are all discussed as well as the Love Boat. It’s like a convo between video store geeks if we still had video stores to hang out in. Give it a whirl; who knows? You just might get turned on to try some suggestions and may even be familiar with others. But don’t forget, Be Kind, Rewind.

Topics include Green Room, VFW, Love Boat, Doctor Who, Are you being served?, Star Trek, History of the World Part 2, Battlefield Earth, The Intruder Within, GORP, Patrick, Australian Cinema, Documentaries, Bob and David, Dick Shawn, Failed TV pilots, #podstallions #plaidstallions #toyventures #startrek #loveboat #tvpilots

So wade in, as the curtain is pulled back to reveal Brian and Jason at their most naked (metaphorically, obviously), in Pod Stallions‘ Group Free For All!
