Vintage Amusement Park Ride Car (sponsored link) ––

I don’t know where I would put it, but I’d love to wake up and see something from a carnival every day. I don’t think I’ve ever not been happy to see one. 

Arco Space Target Set (sponsored link) —

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to compile all the discount Darth Vaders and Storm Troopers we got from 77 until….I guess now.

Inflatable Vending Machine Monsters (Sponsored link)—

The seller has a couple of these; the imaginative monster designs are so emblematic of the era. 

The Avengers Emma Peel Doll by Fairylight (sponsored link) ––

This is a pretty incredible lot of Fairylight Emma Peel dolls, and these are the subject of a great article in Toy-Ventures Issue 5, coincidentally, written by the seller. 

 

Martian Chronicles Poster (sponsored link) —

I have always been fond of the Martian Chronicles TV mini series; although it’s slow at times and some effects are not dazzling, it still does justice to many of the tales. The primary reason I like this series is its sense of style, and this poster really showcases that. I’ve wanted it for decades, but I’d either have to take down a poster or build a new house.
