DJ Mauls Ultimate Star Wars Toy Room Tour, Part 13
Welcome back, to lucky Part 13 of DJ Mauls Ultimate Toy Room Tour Extravaganza Polooza World Tour 2006 Fest-a-rama!!!!! Now in Convenient Carry Cans!
Last chapter we went over the Burger King toys and other items released for Ep. III.Chasing them down was easy for some of us, and difficult for others, but no matter how hard you think chasing THAT series down was, it was NOTHING compared to the chase for a complete run of the Ep. I The Phantom Menace Fast Food Toys Series.
To complete the entire series of 29 toys (including "Children Under 3" alternate toys), you had to go to not ONE, not TWO, but THREE different fast food chains: Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut!That's a LOT of fast food!
The COOL thing about this series is that each toy came in an individual cardboard box, and when all the boxes are put together it forms one large picture.
There were three different waves:
The Naboo series
The Tatooine series
The Coruscant series
The last few boxes you see there on the end are the boxes for the Childrens alternate toys, which also had some of the same puzzle piece pictures on them as well, but for display purposes I didn't need those pictures so showed the other sides instead.There were ALSO a series of plastic soda cups with character toppers; those will be covered in a later chapter.
Since I'm on this wall, let's explore the rest of what's around that shelf.Here is a Ep. I Game board also a part of the Ep. I fast food promotions. One was supposed to collect a pog style game piece for each picture in a block to win a prize. I still have several of the game pieces in a little baggie somewhere. Never got enough to win anything.
Running down the side of the bookshelf there are some great magazine covers.
The first one here needs a set up:You've all heard of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right?What you may NOT have heard of was a short lived comic book parody call "Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters."Yes, you read that correctly.And so I present to you, from 1986, the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters In 3D Star Wars Parody Cover!
Under that one, something a little more recent, from 1999:Games magazine Star Wars / Sgt. Peppers Parody Cover featuring lots of SW characters and plenty of other sci - fi classic characters. See how many you can spot.
Under that: Darth Vader on the cover of Time Magazine for Ep. III.
Under that, another Time Magazine, this one features Yoda on the cover from Ep. II.
Another great cover, this one from TV Guide, is the Lenticular Ep. II cover featuring Anakin & Obi Wan that, when you look at it from another angle, becomes Vader and old Obi Wan!
Yet another excellent magazine cover is the Darth Vader Rolling Stone Cover again from Ep. III.
Next to that magazine, just because I could, hangs the Darth Vader M&M Candy Tin that I managed to attach to the wall with...yep, you guessed it...the wonder of POSTER PUTTY!!!
Even with a large room like mine, space is ALWAYS a consideration, and every available inch needs to be utilized just right.So, let's take a look UNDER the shelf for a few items, such as this Attack Of The Clones 4 Pack Figure set that I may still open at some point, again I really just haven't gotten around to it yet and hung them there for the time being.
The next item is another gift from my wife, this one an anniversary present from many years ago;The Masterpiece Edition Anakin Skywalker 12' Figure that opens to reveal Anakin Skywalker as he appeared at the end of ROTJ
It also features a book , Anakin Skywalker: The Story of Darth Vader that was written by fellow collector Steve Sansweet!
Under that box sits a few games, the Star Wars Classic OT Trivial Pursuit and Ep. I Monopoly games, and along side of that is yet another freebie Poster from my Fan Club Membership hanging on the side of my file cabinet of all places...again, maximum space coverage.
Hanging along the edge of the fast food toys shelf is another Star Wars Store Display Banner to match the one on my Titanium Vehicle shelf, and under that on top of the file cabinet you can see my Ren & Stimpy stuffed toys that I've had for years...Ren talks when you pull his belly button and Stimpy makes...well, RUDE noises when you squeeze his stomach.
I'm gonna wind it down for now, and as always I thank you for tagging along.
