Kurt Adler Star Wars Fabriche Santa Yoda

It must be Christmas…here comes Santa Yoda!

Okay, so I’ll admit I’m cheating a bit with this Fabriche Santa Yoda from the Kurt Adler Star Wars line as this is a 5-inch figurine with zero points of articulation and technically not an action figure as such, but ’tis the season to be jolly, so I’m sure you’ll forgive me if I share this bit of Star Wars Christmas Kitsch that put a huge smile on my face when I saw it online the other day!

An officially licensed Star Wars product, the attention to detail and hand painted finish does Yoda proud, although he does look more like the Grinch than Santa it has to be said!

Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!…Back very soon with more Vintage Action Figures!

E.T. 20th Anniversary Interactive action figure

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 20th Anniversary Interactive Figure!

This was a recent market stall find – quite literally, at the bottom of a box of mostly broken toys. Amazingly, this 5 inch Interactive E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial action figure was still in working condition, with plenty of life left in what are probably the original batteries! I discovered there and then that pressing down on E.T.’s head would elicit one of the classic lines spoken by the alien creature in Spielberg’s movie – “Home” – but it wasn’t until much later that I discovered, quite by accident, that his heart light glows red and his index finger lights-up to the words “Be Good!” if you pull back his left arm!

Elvis Presley at 75!

Elvis Presley’s much maligned but undeniably astute business manager “Colonel” Tom Parker understood better than anybody else very early on in Elvis’ career how to market the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll as a commodity. Elvis memorabilia and gadgets of every type were essentially the brainchild of Parker who never ever missed a chance to make a dime.

Today, on what would have been Elvis Presley’s 75th birthday and more than thirty years after his premature death at the age of only 42, millions of Elvis Presley fans all over the world are celebrating the anniversary of his birth.
