Space Ghost and Deathstroke

After Jonny Quest my favorite Saturday morning cartoon of the 1960s was (and still is) Space Ghost.

Space Ghost, The Herculoids, The Impossibles, Birdman and other Hanna Barbera Saturday morning superhero fare glued me to our TV for half the day.

Over 20 years ago The Cartoon Network took old Space Ghost footage (and some new clips) and made Space Ghost a talk show MC.  I was not amused.  Don’t mess with Space Ghost!

But, one good thing did come out of the show.

Art Asylum and Toycom created a series of Space Ghost action figures starring Space Ghost and three of his dastardly villains: Zorak, Brak and Moltar.

The Limited Edition Collectible figures really capture the look of the animated characters.


The Space Ghost Coast-To-Coast action figure from Toycom duplicates Space Ghost to perfection.

Fully-articulated, the figure features Space Ghost attired in his classic white, black, yellow and red costume.

Check out his power belt, gauntlets, form-fitting cowl, and overly muscled physique.

Included with the bubble-pack figure are a desk, chair, index cards and an extra set of posable hands. 

Pop this baby out of its bubble pack, pose it in a classic Space Ghost stance and utter his famous quote, “Space Ghost!”



Deathroke The Terminator was introduced in The New Teen Titans #2 and became an instant hit.

Since that time he has appeared in various DC Comics titles and animated series and as several action figures.

By far my favorite toy/action figures created of Deathstroke has to be DC Direct’s The New Teen Titans Deathstroke Series 2.

This is the Deathstroke I love.  He is clad in his fish scale chest armor, large orange belt with utility pouches and large silver buckle.

Also included on the figure are brown belt straps on both thighs, orange knee boots, orange full lower arm gloves, an ammo belt slung over his left shoulder and white eye patch covering his right eye.

Deathstroke's face sports his distinctive white goatee and wavy white hair.

The figure is full-articulated with easy to move joints with no binding. 

Paint application is clean and crisp and the sculpting captures the rugged, determined look of Deathstroke.  His features are sharp and almost gaunt.

Included with the fully posable figure are sword and a sawed off rifle.   A base is also included.
