5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Starsky and Hutch Police Set (sponsored link)

The original “Bromance!” Starsky and Hutch inspired many cool toys like this. I love the official logo on their holster as if two undercover cops would brand themselves.

Woolworth’s Action Team figures (sponsored link) —

I’ve never seen these figures before, but they give me a “Palitoy Action Force” vibe (albeit a lower-quality one), and that card art looks a bit like it’s from a horror movie. It’s win/win!

LJN RoadStars Space:1999 Captain Zantor ship (sponsored link)—

I own one of these and it’s on my desk as I type this. It’s from a classic episode of Space:1999 and starred Christopher Lee as Captain Zantor. Seriously this is one of my favourites from my Space:1999 toys. We got a ton of Eagles but getting this cool Alien ship is a real highpoint for me.

Tonka Smokey Bear Playset (sponsored links)

Camping the Smokey Bear way, I assume he just micro-manages your entire family and invites himself to every meal. What are you going to do? Take it that’s what, you don’t want him to piss off a bear, especially one in pants that walks up right.

 

Funstuf Pet Ghost (sponsored link)-

This toy was obviously made to capitalize on the “Pet Rock” craze (yup, I had one, it died) of the 1970s. I don’t think this caught on, but now it’s an affordably priced vintage horror collectible.

 

Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures Magazine will feature the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalogue, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.
