Lost In Space Jupiter II 1966 1967 Maruzan Japan Marusan Battery Operated Saucer I really wanted Lost in Space toys as a kid, the trouble was I discovered the show in 1981. I am especially fond of this wind up Jupiter 2 toy I've never heard, the seller even included a You Tube Video of it in action, check it out below:

Superhero Stamps store poster- I remember getting all excited about Superhero stamps for a weekend as a kid, it was such a passing fancy but I can't resist this poster.

Planet of the Apes Archery set- Remember all the arrows in Planet of the Apes? Me neither, I still want this....

1970s Bullwinkle Show Poster- I've never heard of this live event that starred Rocky & Bullwinkle, Spider-Man, Tom & Jerry, King Kong and Dracula? I'd sure like to know what the story was, it sound weird and dream like.

Jaxxon heads for action figures- Remember the big green space bunny from Marvel Comic's Star Wars? The one George Lucas hated? Well I loved him and now I can make an action figure of him using this awesome head. I totally won't do this but I love having the choice....

Even more proof of Japanese wonder! Marusan made so many incredible toys and that J2 absolutely-godhead-cool!

Oh, and you gotta love the audacity of toys that require, but don't include "Scotch Tape" for assembly and use.

That Super Hero stamp poster looks to be the work of Neal Adams' Continuity Studios. I think they did a lot of the stamp artwork as well.

That Bullwinkle thing has to be the most random conglomeration of characters ever...until you realize nearly ALL of these characters currently co-exist at Universal Studios Theme Park in Florida!

Nice research on the Bullwinkle show articles! Man I'd love to see what that show was like, it's so bizarre.

I was trying to find that connection, like the Bugs Bunny in Space/Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes shows falling under the WB umbrella. I still like the idea of someone in a conference room saying "They've got Bugs Bunny & Batman? Okay, we'll put Spiderman in with Bullwinkle, and you know what will make all the difference? Dracula!"
