Archie Bunker Patches (sponsored link) —
I grew up in a post-All in the Family world. I was way too young for the show when it first launched (fun fact: I once thought this was the Archie from the comics all grown up), but I swear Mad Magazine never stopped with parodies and the reruns? Oi vey. These patches from ’72 are a prime example of how this show dominated when it first appeared.
When I started collecting toys in the 1980s, I visited the backrooms of many dusty variety stores where the Archie Bunker card game was always present, right next to the Bionic Man game.
Star Blazers Desslock action figure (sponsored link) –
I’ve opined about these Nomura Star Blazers action figures at great length here and while the seller has the two main characters, getting a Desslock (Dessler) figure is really super duper difficult. I know it took me years to track him, Mark Venture and Captain Avatar down.
The Stretch Armstrong Prototype (sponsored link)
For the person who has everything, the original Stretch Armstong prototype. Now you might be tempted to take a big old bite out of a stretch like I was when I was 7, but the 50-year-old corn syrup will definitely kill you.
Battle of the Planets Bootleg figures (sponsored link) —
Man, this one would disappoint me as a kid, desperate for ANYTHING Battle of the Planets at the time.
McDonalds Mayor McCheese Animation Cel (sponsored link) —
I honestly do not remember seeing animated McDonaldland characters before but I love this very early 70s take.

Wow! You really made some finds this week.
No recollection of any 70’s animated McDonaldland.
Wish I had a few thousand laying around for that Stretch Armstrong.
