To Dream the Electric Dream

Check out this awesomely atrocious collection of bootleg action figures. Where else will you see Buzz Lightyear team with Batman?

The All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) was a bipedal walker used by the Galactic Republic during the late Clone Wars and, later and more extensively, the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Colloquially known as a “chicken walker” because of its shape and walking motion, the AT-ST was a heavily armed light ground combat vehicle, and able to trek various environments. It was equipped with a chin-mounted double medium blaster cannon, a concussion grenade launcher on the starboard side of its head, two durasteel feet with claws, and a blaster cannon on the port side. It was designed to be a recon hit and run vehicle. [Wikia]

Steve Zodiac, Venus and Professor Matthew Matics from the Gerry Anderson Supermarionation Sci-Fi Puppet series “Fireball XL5” (1962-63). I think these portraits came in the Fireball XL5 wallet that I had as a kid. From the collection of Jumbled Planet.
