I had Zintar as a kid, BEST robot ever for the Major Matt Mason's..,
and besides Space:1999's Eagle, the Viper's STILL my favorite space ship..
Wasn't a big 80's toy collector (was baggin' college chicks at that point.., well, trying to..), but I'd love that Super Powers Batmobile. One of the best designs made, besides the vintage Barris beauty.
There are so many toys from the 80s that I would love to have my pick of, that Batmobile being top amongst them - like that Superman vehicle with the long arms to protect him from Krytonite.
You can't do better than the Eagle. Real space science went into the design of that model/toy.
Thanks for the info david. I couldn't read the name, but it's a cool looking robot for sure. Major Matt came out in '66, I had just turned 16 and it was just a tiny bit past my prime for toys.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Wonderful toys!
Really good stuff. That Godzilla and that Zontar (or whatever) robot are outrageously cool.
