Toy-Ventures Magazine gets Post Apocalyptic with the Tonka Steel Monsters

Tonka Steel Monsters- Toy-Ventures

Tonka Steel Monsters- Toy-Ventures

I think one of the best parts about working with vintage toys is, you get to play with them while you do it. Case in point, at the mid-point of researching the line, I got inspired to emulate the incredible energy that Chris Franklin put into issue 11’s cover, and I must admit that it was cathartic.

Little off-shoot projects like this are something that charge my mental batteries. It no longer feels like work in any way.

 

Tonka Steel Monsters- Toy_Ventures Magazine

I didn’t have the Steel Monsters as a kid because they came out too late for me, but I remember thinking, “I’m gonna buy all of this stuff someday!” and well, someday is now. Issue 11 features a cover story on the Tonka Steel Monsters toy line; if you pre-order through us, I’ll add a Metal Face air freshener, absolutely free (It smells like grapes!)

More reveals of Issue 11 later in the week.

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.

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.

Look for Issue 10 of Toy-Ventures at the end of May; it will continue our Mego apes coverage and a mind-blowing amount of toy goodness.
