One of the more unusual takes of the sword & sorcery genre that really should have done better. Bug puppets!!

I wish I still had a few of the puppets and that base. Think of the Svengoolie sets I could have done with the bug puppets!

Shogun Godzilla--what a fun toy, wish I still had mine.

I think Coleco Sectaurs are brilliant, so innovative and well-designed. I feel lucky to still have my complete, original collection.

Remco American Defense

Lets talked about early knock-off G.I. Joe figures American Defense. These were cheap figures that if you played to hard they would break. But since they were inexpensive you could go back and replace them. This line had some very unusual characters for both the good guys and bad guys. They even had vehicles and playsets that were in the inexpensive range and sold at K-Mart.

I still have this figure in my collection. American Defense Demon Ranger The Killer Enemy Leader.

In the 8th grade, I was done playing with action figures but still would collect them when something interesting showed up. I was dating my 1st boyfriend and one weekend we walked into K-Mart and saw this figure. We both laughed and said he looks like a version of the Village People. So I bought him and started to work up my own 3.75 inch Village People figures. Oh how I wish I had thought about taking a picture of them or still had them all. I recently found this figure going through some older collections of mine. My how those memories come back.

Since this is Godzilla month let's talk about the Shogun Warriors Godzilla:

That is such a cool toy. Reminds me a bit of the Hanna Barbara Godzilla.

I want to insert my appreciation for your knowledge of MOTU. I have learned a lot from your willingness to share and it's made me branch out a bit into a line I knew nothing about.

Wow, thank you, that's so cool.

Sundancer did appear in the She-Ra cartoon but was only in one episode. The other two crystal horses were only in the mini comics.

I have a few of the POP horses but do not remember the red one.

Takatoku Dangororin from the Time Bokan series that ran from 10/4/75 - 12/25/76.

's me some Japanese Diecast.

The Dangororin is a red Pill Bug (Roly Poly)-like car that can curl up into a ball and roll through obstacles, has wheels with incredible traction that enable it to travel on any surface, and a drill on the front that can pierce through metal.

Lanard Alien set

Lanlard Alien Super Set b.jpg

In 2020 Lanard released several Xenomorphs (Aliens) but the best one was the Movie trilogy Walmart Super Set that sold for $20. Still cannot believe you got 3 xenomorphs, 3 space marines, and weapons plus a great box art.

I grew up playing with those early knock-off G.I. Joes because at K-Mart those were cheaper and offered a collection of weapons. So having Lanard keep up the tradition was fun, but when they started to get movie licenses that really stepped up their game. It nice to see the Target endcap with Lanard figures. Not sure what happened to Wal-Mart figures.
