I better save money for rent, though. 🙂
Are the superhero, t-shirts, official? Why is the Hulk pulling a rabbit toy? Why is Captain America in a yellow suit?

My family had the pistol, from the Dick Tracy…”Crimestopper Playset.”
I think my sister said the pistol…+ maybe the playset, are maybe: from the 1960s-1970s, or maybe from the 1950s.
You find some cool stuff! 😀

I had the roto-cast (or were they slush-cast?…) Ernie and Roosevelt Franklin that Child Guidance made and was devastated when then switched to all-fabric for the puppets before Count von Count was released, seeing Sherlock and Guy Smiley made me ponder what might have been… Seeing this photo finally made me realize what I couldn’t put my finger on before. The hair and mustache being blonde stood out for sure but I just realized that they should not have been sculpted. The hands also look “wrong’. They only have three fingers and a thumb, as they should, but the posing looks more like they were designed for a roto-cast doll and not a Muppet.
