5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Super Babies, Space Sentinels, Sesame Street, Baron Karza’s dad & the rules of McDonald Land.
Amsco Super Babies (eBay Sponsored Link)—
As a kid I thought these were the worst thing ever, I really detested “Baby stuff” and well, these had Baby in the title. I’ve softened on them since then but still don’t need to own them.
Takara Steel jeeg (affiliate link) —
“Baron Karza, I am your father; you too, Force Commander!” I love Jeeg despite never having seen the show itself. This wonderful Magnetic figure was retooled for the Micronauts, and while I have a loose one, this boxed one is well priced and super tempting. What I’m saying is, please take this temptation away.
Sesame Street Calendars (affiliate link) —
I vividly remember the 1978 Sesame Street Calendar, I even remember my dad having to borrow it to plan something for his business. I may have had some of the earlier ones but the memory has faded.
Space Sentinels figure by Fleetwood Toys (affiliate link)—-
My love and admiration for the Filmation Space Sentinels is well documented (see video below); this is the closest we got to action figures. The seller also has Astrea, but sadly, no Hercules.
McDonald’s Play Place Sign (affiliate link) —
While I did seriously have eyes for this vintage Hamburglar statue, I have to admit this would be even cooler to have in the entrance to my back yard with the addition of “under penalty of death.”

Well, I can understand your lack of interest in the Super Babies as a kid. A cute line, but definitely aimed towards the girls market. I haven’t seen them before.
They do, however, remind me a heckuva lot of the Mattel Honey Hill Bunch doll line from the mid-late 70s. That line was 4 inches high, but the proportions seem similar. My sister had them and we played with them (she was 8 or 9 when they came out), as did an ex wife of mine.
I think I’ve actually picked up one or two of the Honey Hills in my own toy and doll collection.
I think someone should make a Catwoman [tm], Super Babies doll!
😀
Darn it! I meant a Catgirl [tm] doll.
Darn my lack of superheroes knowledge!
;D
