5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Heroes in Action S.W.A.T set (sponsored link) –
My introduction to this line was a comic book ad, sadly the comic was 3 years old at the time. So, I never saw them as a kid, but that ad has always given me an appreciation for these crude, early 70s attempts ata 3 3/4″ toyline. I’m not much of a military toy guy, the exceptions being soldiers fighting giant spiders or, I guess, when the general happens to be a Gorilla or a skeleton. There has got to be some sci-fi or horror there for me.
Back on subject, I’ve never seen this SWAT set before, and hey, it’s really tempting. Also, no sleeves for the SWAT; the M-16s aren’t the only guns they brought.
70s Horror T-Shirt- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Amazing 70s Horror Shirt (sponsored link) —
I have never seen this wonderful horror shirt from the early 70s, and it took me like three passes to even notice the Morbius from the Spider-Man comic swipe. It’s like walking around with every “Night Gallery” on your chest….
Star Wars inspired Sleeping Bag (sponsored link) —
So my friend Courtney sent me and a really cool Star Trek Sleeping bag which forced me to choose. I chose this one because….space tugboat. We’ve got the Pod from 2001 and 2R-2D over there and then what I sincerely hope is a nod to Quark. Tell me if I made the right call, I seriously need a win.
Grizzly Iron-On Transfer with Neal Adams art (sponsored link) –
I am lukewarm on the movie (although a big fan of the genre), but the merch is awesome. I learned from this Iron-On seller that the poster art was Neal Adams, and I’m not sure I knew that before.
Frank ‘N Stein Promotional poster – (sponsored link)
I grew up unaware of the wonderful restaurant chain until adulthood. I feel very cheated.

That SWAT team is the second line of the Heroes in Action toys. The exact same moulds for the figures from the Army line just in blue instead of green. The bases were much more plain though as the Army line had partial walls etc. The SWAT van is just a box on wheels with details provided by stickers. So disappointing.
The tie fighter thingie looks a lot like the MIcronaut Gyrotron/Microman Escargot.
