The seller also has the Kenner Maskatron commercial reel as well. Mego Elastic Superman (eBay link)– I think these things are both dumb and awesome. I […]

  Cryotron Carry Case (eBay Link) — This was a Sears Canada exclusive, and I remember that catalogue fondly as it was the first time I saw the Mego Black Hole Humanoid and Old B.O.B. Despite it kind of looking like a “Space Toilet Seat” I dream of finding one packed with figures like the […]

Scarecrow of Romney Marsh Halloween Costume (eBay Link)— I, like a lot of kids, was pretty entranced by Patrick McGoohan’s Dr. Syn, Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. I really need to rewatch it, this costume was an excellent reminder but sadly, it’s not on Disney plus. I don’t know why that is but it feels like […]

  Original Black Hole Magazine Cover Art (eBay Link) — As a lover of all things Black Hole, I will say this is striking. The Cygnus is one of the coolest space ships ever built. My only quibble with this is and no offense to Robert Forster but why no Vincent or Bob? Not to […]

The Hamburglar’s Autograph (eBay Link) — My friend Courtney sent me this, and well, I didn’t know this was a thing. Apparently, the actor who played the Hamburglar, the original “Nightmare Fuel” edition does signings? I can’t imagine anyone faking this. Now, I’m no fan of crowds, but I would go to any Con or […]

Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link) — This Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs as well.

Kenner Bionic Woman Designer Dresses (eBay Link) — Catalogue mailer items are one of those things I admire, and as a toy collector, I feel they add a charm to everything. I don’t collect Bionic Woman, but I think this set is unique. yes, I know water stains are gross; I get it, but it’s […]

Batman Letraset set (eBay Link) — Letraset is, to me, the superior version of Presto Magix; it’s just magical. My dream is to own someday or reproduce the Doctor Who set without the BBC hunting me down and killing me.   Evel Knievel Kid Cycle (eBay Link) — I wonder how many kids tried to […]

  Slam Bam Diesels (eBay Link)– I do not recall this toy line, which brilliantly merges Smash Up Derby with RC cars. I will, however, be stealing “Slam Bam Diesels” should I ever form a dad garage band.     Batman Stained Glass Kit (eBay Link) — I could do a “5 Awesome Batman crafts […]
