10 Awesome Things on eBay this week

10 Awesome Things on eBay this week, we normally do 5 Awesome things but it’s tax return season! Treat Yo’Self!

Vintage Oscar the Grouch Rug Hook (eBay Link) –

My Rug Hooking obsession was brief in the third grade but darn it, I’m obsessed with this. I blame the whole tactile thing.

Matchbox Fighting Furies Store Display (eBay Link)–

My friend Kevin sent me this link but refused to buy it for me. It seems a bit rude, doesn’t it? Email me, and I’ll give you Kevin’s home phone number so you can discuss why he should buy this for me at 3 am. 

 

Martin Landau’s Personal Collection of Space:1999 magazines (eBay Link)–

I own a Space:1999 novel from Landau’s collection, and it made my life better. The seller is an awesome dude too. Check out his other Space:1999 Goodies.

 

Funky Jack Kirby Inspired Black Light Poster (eBay Link) –

I’d be afraid to be stoned around this, I might not come back.

The Dr. Zauis chair from the Planet of the Apes TV series (eBay Link)–

Folks, I need this in my life. I wanna be the Duke of New York but slightly slimmer and painfully paler.

Fists of Fury T-Shirt Transfer (eBay Link) —

Pretty sure that’s Bruce Loo on that transfer; it could be Bruce Leah, but I am not sure. If you’re still reading, I love the POS movie “Clones of Bruce Lee,” and so should you.

 

Sgt. Rock Rack Toy by AHI (eBay Link) –

I probably have read like 3 Sgt. Rock comics in my life and WW2 wasn’t a popular topic in my house. However, I love Joe Kubert and actually own quite a few Sgt. Rock toys as a result. There is something so stellar about that card art.

Spanish Sesame Street Puppet (eBay Link)—

Foreign Sesame Street productions would create new characters.  This character’s name is Professor Hastings, although I’m posting this because I’m a fan of “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (seek it out), and if you are too, this is Mr. Frumpus.

 

Durham Target Game (eBay Link) —

I would not have been into this as a kid; I has a pet rabbit and well, kind of  a fan. 

 

European Lone Ranger Playset by Marx (eBay Link) —

I don’t collect the Gabriel Lone Ranger Line, but consarnit, I want to. I won’t do it, but just know it tasks me! 

 

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s.
