1970s Shazam Pencil Case (sponsored link)
I have this strange predilection for Superhero pencil sharpeners (see the video below), but I don’t own a single pencil case for some reason. Even as a kid I knew that material wouldn’t last a lunch hour, I guess. Shazam! merch always puts me in a good mood, tho.
Inflatable Jaws shark by Imperial Toys (sponsored link) —
It’s amazing to see Imperial still making JAWS merch in the mid-1980s; that movie had staying power. This merch was likely sponsored by “Jaws the Revenge” but they chose the right poster for the box.
Bruce Lee KO Bendies (sponsored link) —
I have one of these guys loose but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the card. It’s a “Not even trying” KO meant to look like Bruce Lee, it succeeds!
70s Karate T-Shirt (sponsored link) –
Wearing this as a kid would have invoked too many challenges for my own health.
Rip Tide Puffy Stickers (sponsored link)
I think this might be the perfect gift if you have a friend who has forgotten Rip Tide exists. I used to watch this but all I remember is the nerdy guy said “Boss” a lot.
The Lincoln Monsters are here!

Despite the seller’s claims, that Karate shirt is not vintage (at least not 70s vintage). That Hanes logo is post-1999. https://logos-world.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hanes-Logo-History.jpg
