JAPANDERSON TOYS AND MODELS FROM SALIM'S COLLECTION

To see out another great year for Anderson collectors, here are a few shots kindly supplied by collector Salim of his Japanese merchandise: a rare tinplate Captain Scarlet Guitar and a variety of fabulous Imai Zero X models.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Before I disappear into the maelstrom that is my local pub and the New Year celebrations, I'll take the opportunity to wish all you lot a very Happy New Year and lets hope with this new series pending we've got a whole new set of Thunderbird toys to look forward to.

THE BIG MOONBASE END OF YEAR POP CULTURE QUIZ

Here it is folks! the must-do end of the year pop culture quiz! As you scrub up for tonight's New Year bash why not have a go and guess who or what these are from vintage popular culture. As per usual, one answer per reader, name and number. Go New Year go!

END OF THE YEAR MYSTERY SPACE TOY

This strange contraption is currently on the bay. Its a mystery to the seller who suggests among other things that it might be Project SWORD.

It isn't but does anyone know what the heck it is? I don't

MY FAVOURITE TOY OF 2014

Inspired by Woodsy's earilier post on his favourite toys on eBay during the year, I'm pretty sure which is my favourite find and purchase on eBay in 2014 - The magnificent Mattel Eagle 1 complete with crew.

This ranks up there with the likes of the Century 21 Zero X , the Spacex Moonbase and the Dinky S.P.V. as one of my favourite toys.

I count myself very lucky finding one with most of it's accessories still present, and getting it at a price that didn't break the bank.

Although I never owned one as a youngster, being a big kid now I love it.

2015 IS COMING!

THUNDERBIRDS COMIC COLLECTION

Found this Thunderbirds Comic Collection hard back book on The Works website going for the princely sum of £2 + p.p.. It's a book of reprints from TV 21, in amongst some modern cut aways. When it came out last year it was going for a hefty £25 so it's a heck of a discount. I believe some Works shops in the UK are also selling it for £3.99.

Definitely worth a punt.
