Friday Night Videos...with toys! Up first, Blondie and Jumbo Machinders

[cjefferys]

I just saw this video on the ToyboxDX Facebook group and it kinda blew my mind. It's the music video for Blondie's debut single, "X Offender" and it features two Jumbo Machinders as props, Combatra and Gaiking (he shows up later in the video). These were Jumbos/Shogun Warriors that were only sold in Japan and they came out the year of this video, 1976, so I'm amazed to see them here, I can't believe I never saw this video!

Anyway, thought I'd share and see if anyone can post some other music videos that feature vintage toys, that can be tonight's theme.

That's really neat. If memory serves Pee Wee Herman also used some Japan only Machinders in his act.

I love Blondie (this song in particular) and Shogun Warriors! She also owned a Raydeen/Raideen!

Really cool. It's like opening a time capsule.

I enjoy seeing classic toys in movies and television, and in other forms of media.

Things are getting more rare to come across, like having a bunch of classic cars all throughout a movies, there are not many in the new movies nowadays. Not meaning the automobile age, classics with a certain style and design. From Antiques up to maybe about 1985.

Had on a 60's movie, such amazing variety, 40's through late 1960's caught on film.

Man, Jumbo Machinders got around. IIRC, they're also spotted in Creepshow, Wonder Woman & Eight is Enough.
