5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Grape Ape, SWAT Teams, Kung Fu Masters, Spider Poncho and my problem with Blade Runner.

 

Tootsie Toys S.W.A.T set (sponsored link) —

SWAT much like sharks and dinosaurs are public domain concepts, so Tootsie Toy whipped up this set to catch the heat from the TV program. It probably worked, I have a Tootsie Toy Catalogue on the site here if you want to check it out.

 

 

Deiner Kung Fu Masters Bendies (sponsored link) —

Speaking of generic terms, Kung Fu was also one of those things. I love these guys. They look like Caine and Master Po and they will be mine someday.

 

Grape Ape Plush (sponsored link) –

I regularly watched Grape Ape as a kid, although I can’t remember much of it, it’s cool to see he got some merch in the 80s.

Ben Cooper Spider-Man Poncho (sponsored link) —

In the 3rd grade, my mum bought me a Sesame Street poncho, not realizing that the peer pressure at that time was to listen to KISS and pretend you’d seen “Alien”. I was so embarrassed and would have killed for a Spider-Man.

Blade Runner UK Annual (sponsored link) 

As much as I love UK annuals, this one would be a hard purchase for me. It’s the same Marvel Comics adaptation I spent all of my Summer Money on when I was 11. I was expecting it to be a cool space movie, it is not. I never got over that, and while I think the film is visually striking, it’s not my thing.

 

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.
