    Just arrived from Amazon JP. It's a new book just published which has reprinted pages of many different Shogakukan children's magazines from the 60s to 70s. About 270 pages.

    Stunning! What a superb collection, Martin. This one is going on the wish list for sure. Each of those images is wonderful alone, and hard to hunt, so collecting them altogether like that is a real treat for the eyes. Browsing through these art books is part of my favourite thing about living in Japan. Thanks for sharing! :)

    @Purple Bat Tim is too cool for me, but I still want to be his friend.

    @toothaction Cool packs man, now open 'em up and share the joy. (And do I spy cut up bits of FMoF in that on on the right? FUN!)

    After 30 years of hunting I finally found some un-used Letraset 'Space Monsters' rub down transfers.These guys decorated the headboard of my bed in the early 80's,I would charge up the GID every night.Apparently they were released quite late in the 'Action Transfers' series and due to not being licensed (star wars,action man) weren't very popular.
    I only had a few packs of them when I was a kid but they made a big impact,the monsters were unlike any I had seen at the time.Now I realise that the line was massively influenced by 'Ugly Stickers' by Norman Saunders, Wally Wood and Basil Wolverton.I would love to know who designed these creatures though,no artist was credited as far as I can find out.
    There are better scans of the full series on this site.http://www.action-transfers.com/html/Packets/packets4.shtml

    Would you believe that, before today, I'd never received a single box filled up with blister-packed anythings?

    Really happy with these guys so far, but there's just one thing - can anyone help me identify which episode of Star Trek that the little girl was in?

    Love the new B&W family, David. It is like Christmas every day over at your place these days. Nothing like shredding up all the 'collectible' nature as soon as you get 'em in hand, I love it! :) Your house will soon be overrun with even more actual dollies, to do along with your monster dollies. [Nightmare fuel notwithstanding.]

    Yep, that's immediately what came to my mind (granted, there aren't too many episodes of Trek with children), and I think was the play that David was looking for; not the same person of course. Though, it is interesting that a good number of actors crossed over from both TZ and ST.

    Works for me, thanks Scott! SO, with that in mind, clearly the trio closest to her are Kirk, Spock...

    ... and Bones, ha! On the left we've got a Talosian, obviously, and there's ol' Mugato on the far right.


    Man, I just love my new Star Trek toys!

    Eeevery time I see those, I am teetering on the precipice of buying in to the lot of em. Granted I could probably do without Tina, the original Annabelle (dear god,they're making another one btw :roll:).

    Very nice additions to the new collection stylings, @toothaction. I'm enjoying these. Haha, Steve's right, you've done drank the kool-aid and digested it. Have you started participating on the megomuseum board yet? :D

    Edit: Is that true?! About the blister card?

    The final arrivals, for the moment, from my current family of fixation. Proper photo sets galore are sure to ensue.

    Damn, people, I am just so delighted that my throw-away comment -- implying not only that my new toys hailed from a Roddenbery license, but also that my toy doll of an actual toy doll was originally played by a flesh-and-blood actress -- led to such earnest and informative replies. God bless you, Skullbrain, and all who sail with you!
