Mask Me Another

I saw this costume on auction and thought, hmmm, is that mask a Lady Penelope? What do you think?

No idea about the blue costume. 

I had thought it was Ben Cooper brand but looks like Collegeville is the make.

SINDY 1999

Here's what I did with the Sindy buggy I had. Action Man is the astronaut.

Ed's McDonnell F-101 Voodoo Tin Jet Fighter

Thought you guys would like to see a nice big Hunk 'O Tin. here's my large (17"L), tin-litho Voodoo jet fighter.

The F-101 was a part of the Century Series of fighter jets appearing in the Postwar years. 

Manufactured by McDonnell Aircraft Co. and placed into service in 1957, Voodoo's were built for interceptor, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance, and trainer roles. Voodoo's continued to serve in Air Force units through 1979. 

This particular toy version made by Yoshiya Kobe Yoko Ltd., Japan is quite large and functional as shown in my Y'all Tube video last year. Like most tin-litho aircraft designs of the era, the toy separates into two sub-assemblies: the fuselage; mid-section/wing assembly. 

Even toys without a battery compartment were manufactured this way to facilitate packaging in smaller boxes.

TOY WITH IT'S PALITOY ARCTIC EXPLORER!

 I love what Toy With It does with his outdoor Action Men!

Here's his Arctic Explorer, just like the one I had as a nipper! Did you have one?

Man, Its Cold Outside!

 

Lots of the white stuff here this morning around Moonbase. Reminds me of when I'd get my Polar Explorer Action Man out as a kid and have him skiiing down the sloped snow-covered drive!

What's the weather like where you are in the world readers?

Did you enjoy your Action Men or GI Joe outdoors?

GOTHAM CITY BUS

Batman boarded the bus but he turned his back on us!

Just then Joker started eyeing me up.

What do you think happened next?

This!

No worries, the police were following us!

Have you ever seen the Joker or Batman in 'real' life or dressed up?

Troy Boy

I did find one other baby boomer like me at Comic Con! Troy Tempest himself! And I got to hold his raygun! 

Oldies rule!

Standby for traction!
