There isn’t anything I don’t love about this. The box alone hits every note in my monster kid heart.

Batman Thingmaker set (eBay Link)

I am alas too young for the golden age of Thing-Makers, it was around but not like it’s hey-day. I’ve never seen this Batman set before and am in love with these card graphics.

ElectraWoman and DynaGirl (eBay Link)

Krofft merchandise doesn’t happen often these days and we need more of it Bob-Dammit!

This is a fan made 3-d print model of the titular characters and the Electra-Car. I always wondered how many bugs they got in their teeth riding around with no wind screen. I was an odd kid.

Generic Superhero Rings (eBay Link)

As bootlegs go, these are pretty funny. This is how the DC superheroes look when I don’t have my glasses on.

 

Dinosaur Rack Toy (eBay Link)

I don’t know if I had these as a kid or what but they sure scream “Childhood” pretty loudly to me. That header card is pure gold.

Hard to believe the MC Hammer craze endured long enough to warrant something like this. I bet “right said Fred” is really envious.

    I had actually started working with the vendor to produce some of the custom Mego heads that I now make, and gave them a whole bunch of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl reference.
    I found the results… not the quality I wanted… so I started working on my own and with my own “A-Team” to create better versions. Now I’ve got extremely close versions of EW &DG in Mego heads and a perfect replica of the ElectraComp sized for Mego as well! (Not to mention about 150 other heads and counting)…
