Peter's Angels
Stupid, Useless, and Cheap Merchandise
With Sonny Bono's Radioactive Seed dementia in full force, the studio feared he would bring another lawsuit against them.  Thus to placate him, they handed over the reigns of their Angels merchandising.  This would prove to be an incredibly stupid move, as Sonny was soon shown to be totally delusional, believing he was living in the galaxy of Narpolonia. As he wished to unite the galaxy in peace and love, he licensed Peter's Angels merchandise to any life form that asked. This resulted in many cheaply made products, and unintentional embarrassment for Sonny when it was discovered he'd accidentally signed a contract with a large rock.  Consequently, a plethora of items flooded the nonexistent US market.

As Peter's Angels merchandise wasn't well distributed, well made, or well known, not much of it sold. Consequently, it is not only hard to find, but can command high prices in collector's markets during certain times of the year.  On the other hand, there have been cases where entire warehouses full of Angels memorabilia have been unearthed, causing a glut in the market and  prices to plummet. Those wishing to sell Angels items for profit are advised to stay away, as the market is so unstable.  It is best to leave these items for the collectors to enjoy, and keep the legend alive.

Here are some of the few products that survive...
Lunchbox #1
This was the first Peter's Angels lunchbox. While in theory a lunchbox was useful, it did not come with a thermos or a latch. There were two options to keep it shut.  Buy the official latch separately, or use the official Peter's Angels Lunchbox String to tie it shut. 
Pez
You've got to love being able to flip back the heads of the Angels and pop out that sweet candy treat! It is extremely hard to find a set of all three in the packages. Pez wished to do a Peter Criss dispenser also, but were unable to accurately depict the hand and drumstick without it looking incredibly creepy.
Inflatable Hat
In this photo, we see the worst of the licensing errors. The hat came in a small package, and in case of rain, could be blown up to sit snugly on the head.  However, it was very stupid looking and blew off in the first gust of wind.  The Angels look appropriately disgusted to be promoting this incredibly hideous product. 
Gyroscope
The gyroscope was a unique piece of merchandise. Unfortunately, no one knew how to market it. Sonny also mistakenly issued it with a bag of Radioactive Seeds. Only a few of these managed to be smuggled out of the factory by the army of illegal child labor used to manufacture them. 
View master Package
This is one of the few items to feature the face of Peter Criss. This was due to a manufacturing error as the picture was supposed to feature Peter's hand and drumstick, as seen in the tv show.
View Master Picture Reels
Each package of Peter's Angels View Master contained three reels.  This particular package was a special product with 3D pictures.
Lunchbox #2
Hey, it's Peter's Angels playing their groovy music.... another lunchbox. This one was issued with a latch, but had to be recalled as Sonny didn't realized there was a terrified tot, frozen with fear, pictured between the Angels during their musical number. 
Afro Promo Photo
The legendary afro photos are not seen very often. Originally, the studio thought that a cool afro would suit the crime fighting Angels well. However, Peter Criss refused to wear one. This thankfully saved the Angels from more humiliation, though the promo photos they were forced to shoot were bad enough.
The search continues for more useless items.....
