That's an amazing looking collection Paul. Honoured to have seen it in person

Well chuff me! This site is getting better all the time, the Sithster returns 8)
Was great catching up earlier my old buddy.
Make sure you stay around, your Palitoy runs and Imperial set ups were a benchmark for a lot of collectors I've known over the years and an inspiration for me.
Good luck with your new display room.

Kind regards
Paul

That's a wonderful Clash of the Titans set up you have! Although I was definitely first and foremost a child of Star Wars, as a kid I also loved any good adventure film and COTT was right up there! As an impressionable young boy, seeing Harryhausen's superb stop-motion effects in the likes of COTT and 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger' (another film from the great year of 1977, which I remember seeing upon its release in the long-since defunct Ware cinema in Herts, aged 5 :-D) was a joy to behold!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection and reminding us of great times passed.

No worries sir.

Okay guys here's the next daily fix.
Vintage COTT

And now you pull out The Kraken! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Well I'm just floored, such a lovely collection and at least this isolation is good for something.

Ian

The isolation is the prime reason i have time to be back on here

Thanks Jeremy, was that the Sinbad film with the Minotaur?
I was gutted when he got crushed.
Also think Tom Baker was in that as a naughty Arab unless that was the slightly earlier one.
Kali with 3 pairs of arms was damn cool too, always wanted a model of that sexy bitch!

It was indeed the one with the Minotaur (or Minoton, as the film called its version - played by no less a person than Peter Mayhew! :-D). Here's the trailer:

I believe the Sinbad film with Tom Baker was 'The Golden Voyage of Sinbad', from 1973 (released in the UK in January 1974) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071569/), where he played Koura. That was also the Sinbad film which featured Kali, and yes I agree, she was very cool!

Thanks for the link, i enjoyed watching that 8)
Brought back some memories, saw this at the Gaumont in Sheffield when it came out.
Could've sworn i saw the Tom Baker one too but i would have only been 6yrs old in '74, unless i saw it at the Saturday matinees when my Mum used to drop me off at the ABC in Sheffield in the late 70s when she did her shopping.

The trailer does give quite a bit away for someone who hadn't seen it.

Filmed in Dynarama

Love the Clash of the Titans, I think I mentioned these last time we chatted and have managed to dig out the monster pics and bios from the back of the Clash of the Titans promotion Smiths crisps, I especially remember them being on Monster Munch. Shame I didn't keep the whole packs! These were my spares, I think I sent off a number of these and was sent a voucher, which when presented at my local ABC in Rochdale they handed me a brand new carded Perseus. I remember being the envy of all the other kids as I sat there and watched the film with my unopened Carded figure clutched safely in my hands.

You're definitely the inspiration behind my collecting beyond Star Wars again.

Cheers buddy

 

[Pulsar]

Ah mate you're welcome, i think we all inspire each other.
Andy they're brilliant, I've never seen those.
You did well to keep hold of them 8)

Thanks mate, well next time I see you, you can have them for free. Love that Smiths competition sign it's got to be unique. Where did you land that from?

 

[Andyclarke]

Scouring the Internet the other day, bet you'd love to land these prototypes!

 

[Pulsar]

Time for another daily fix i reckon, although don't judge me :|

Wow mate really 8) 8)

Oh mate i picked it up on eBay in the noughties, the same week i got the Star Wars Lyons Maid sign. The stars were certainly aligned for me then.

Always wanted a Bubo especially with my team :wink:
I only read about the planned Calibos lair a few years back, made me feel a bit sick if I'm honest as that would have been one of the best playsets out there even if it was only made of cardboard.

[Pulsar]

Back on track guys :wink:

 

[Andyclarke]

Amazing, keep em coming. 8)

 

[spoons]

Great range of lines Paul. I'm another with a soft spot for ET, the cards being near black makes it a good match for SW

 

[Snaketibe]

Another terrific update. Please keep them coming as they really are wonderful to see, and of course, thank you for sharing what has clearly been a life-long passion for you. You have obviously put in a huge amount of time, energy, funds and effort in tracking down everything, and also then in displaying it all! The results are truly spectacular.

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Top updates. Your collection is really interesting, totally different and very personal. Loads of stuff I've never seen.

Aside the different lines, the Star Wars stuff is displayed noticeably differently to many other collections I've seen. Great stuff buddy.

 

[Pulsar]

You can't resist a little ET, Spoons.
I was totally consumed for over 2 decades Snake when i got back into it around '92, made myself badly
My set ups change like the wind Jabba, as much through necessity as desire :wink:

Here's a daily snippet.

 

[Andyclarke]

Love the Lyon's Maid sign, what were the free masks like?

Brilliant collection [mention]Pulsar[/mention] thoroughly enjoyed going through this thread with a cuppa, love all the other lines

 

[Michael Sith]

This thread is a belter, some fantastic pieces love all 8)

Love the Cylons need one of them in my life :lol:

Clash of the titans pieces are great keep em coming

 

[AndyPreston]

Paul, what a fantastic collection! Lovely to see some of the other toy lines represented, love the Battlestar and Buck Rogers especially - as well as a bit of a soft spot for Playmobil. The Star Wars items are also of course fabulous, I just love that Lyons Maid collection, the sign tops it off nicely. Looking forward to seeing more pics!

 

[Pulsar]

Time for an update.
Btw thanks Phil, Stuart, Michael and Andy, it is appreciated.
I have had many goals over the years from my initial intention of just collecting all the comics and literature, trading cards and of course the toys. I feel that getting sidetracked with alternate items has kept it fresh for me.
Here's my next two teasers..

You can't help but love a horde of Sandpeople and i also started down the roleplaying items for a time.

Thanks Andy, i used to adore Buck Rogers, had a massive crush on Wilma and also loved BSG as it was the only chance i could see 'Star Wars' in a TV series

I was lucky to acquire a collection of unused ESB Lyons Maid wrappers from a chap that had been to the factory back in the day as his prize for winning a competition.
They are all unpunched and still have the wax stickers inside the wrappers.
I must take a close up as not sure if many of these exist?

Regards
Paul

I recall seeing a similar set of unused Lyons Maid wrappers and stickers on Ebay a few years ago. The seller had been given then after a factory tour. Needless to say they sold higher than I could afford! A very rare set though, and lovely to see.
