Silver Kamen, the hero of the eponymous tokusatsu series from 1971 (until he changed into Silver Kamen Giant, as did the series, with episode #11).

The new, updated Silver Kamen (in his two different outfits) from the film BraveStorm (2017).
As much as I wanted to like this film, let me just say that this outfit, and the small cameo role Mitsu Dan has, are the only good things about it.

A catalog page from the early 1970s (the Marx Knights and Vikings were on the market from 1970-72).
I never had a talking G.I. Joe, but I had the non-vocal twin of the one in the green fatigues. I never really got the appeal of the talking feature.
I also had the Mercury space capsule, but an earlier version released with an original Joe without the lifelike hair (aka indoor/outdoor carpet).
Sadly, my Mercury space capsule - like the vast majority of my toys - fell victim to my younger brothers. They took it in the backyard and attempted to re-create when the real capsules would splashdown on Earth. Except we didn't have a pool at the time, so when they threw it up in the air it smashed-down on the ground, into approximately 3,265 pieces.
As for the knights and Vikings figures, I never saw any the few times I was ever in a toy aisle, and I didn't know anyone who had them.

Art Adams' tribute to Dick Briefer's iconic Frankenstein. who starred in two features for Crestwood Publications (aka Feature Publications) comic books: Prize Comics and Frankenstein.
Briefer's Frankenstein started out as a horror feature, then became a humor strip, and then switched back to horror. and then back to humor, and ended in its final three appearances as horror. Amazingly, it enjoyed great success as both.

PROBLEM:
Ultraman Blazar producers: "To make our show more popular we need a Mechagodzilla, but for legal reasons we can't call it Mechagodzilla."
SOLUTION:
Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Earth Garon (who definitely isn't supposed to Mechagodzilla)!

Meanwhile, we asked three Mechagodzillas what they thought:

Photo
This is incredible! Until the sixth picture I thought these were photographs someone took while wandering around Japan (I mistake the one yen coin in the first picture as a manhole cover or hubcap).
Now all these need are a few Batman or other such action figures to populate them.
Satoshi Araki is a phenomenal artist!

8Man outraces a speeding train, from the original Japanese* opening to his animated series (November 7, 1963 - December 31, 1964).
(*When the series was imported to America in 1965 a new opening sequence was created by animator Ralph Bakshi. The animation does not match the original Japanese anime at all, and 8Man is able to fly, which he cannot do in either the original manga or anime. Additionally, 8Man battles a dinosaur that strongly resembles the one Superman fought in the Fleischer Studios short The Arctic Giant [1942].)
The American 8Man opening:

Some snippets from The Arctic Giant:

Kong Kenan, New Super-Man, by Ethan Young.
I'm so glad this guy was made an official part of the Superman Family. I can see him and Conner getting into all sorts of hi-jinks.
I worry now that because Phillip Kennedy Johnson is no longer writing Action Comics all the good work he put into establishing the new Superman Family is going to fall by the wayside.
I understand DC's desire to give high profile writers a chance to work with Superman (like Jason Aaron's recent Bizarro story). Perhaps, though, we could have a separate book that highlights the family members. I'm dying to see more stories featuring the Super-Twins, Otho and Osul-Ra.

"Pilot the Enterprise Thru Space"
Yeah, right! It just goes in circles! Guaranteed to make the entire crew space sick!
Beyond that, this is a very interesting page from the Spiegel catalog (a copy of which I never saw myself, but it was always mentioned in the prize portion of game shows).
Not only do we see the infamous Star Trek "Spock helmet" - you know, just like the one Spock wore all the time - but there's the little known action figure Private Eye J.J. Armes. He had interchangeable gimmick hands (get the pun in his name?) including pirate hooks.
Oh, and let's not forget the action figure of future accused murderer and convicted felon O.J. Simpson.
