5 Spooky Things on eBay this week
5 Spooky Things on eBay this week- It’s October (when did that happen?) and all the spooky toys come out in droves on eBay, let’s see what things are going bump in the night shall we?
Lite-Up Monster Heads (eBay Link) –
Glow sticks were such a cool thing that somehow never found their footing into toys. Lords of Light tried but unfortunately failed. Had I seen this as a kid, it would have been a total must-have.
Set of Blood Island Tiki Mugs (eBay link) –
If any of you are keeping score, you’ll know that I adore the Blood Island movies, and there is precious little merchandise. I missed out on these Tiki mugs made a couple of years back, and now they’re kinda pricey. I regret not buying one now, but I broke up with liquor in my late twenties, and I don’t really have a bar in my house, so it’s a whole thing.
Monster Party Favours (eBay Link)
Ah, the cheap goodness you’d occasionally get for attending a birthday party as a kid. It didn’t always happen, but when it did, you remembered. I love everything about this, including the various shots of young men on picture day. That kid in the tie is trouble; just look at his smugness; he’s just like his father, that one.
Monster Target Rack Toy (eBay Link) –
This is not the first monster target rack toy I’ve seen, and I think it’s the third I’ve featured here. I don’t know how “Frankenstein” equates to “Shoot in the face” but in this case, I’m happy it does. Love the art on this very much.
“Keep on Tricking” pin (eBay Link) –
One thing you can be sure about here is that Robert Crumb didn’t see a dime from this.
BONUS NON SPOOKY ITEMS
The following things are neat, end before the next installment of this series, and well, I wanted to share.
Space:1999 Letraset (eBay Link) –
For the uninitiated, Letraset is a UK version of Presto Magix but much more deluxe and they’re GORGEOUS. I really want to collect these, they have Doctor Who and Superheroes as well but I am not “Scrooge McDuck” wealthy.
Special Agent: Secret Weapon Rack Toy (eBay Link) –
I am so smitten with dime-store Roger Moore on this header card, it’s like he’s quipping “Don’t have time for you old chum”.

With that Secret Agent: Secret Weapon toy, dime-store Roger Moore must be an android because Magnus: Robot Fighter is coming after him!
Ok, so you see that too? Thank you.
I had the Frankenstein’s monster glow head. Forgot all about that!
