10 Awesome Things on eBay this Halloween
10 Awesome Things on eBay this Halloween
Ninja on the Skateboard (eBay Link) –
I don’t know how the skateboard wheels don’t kinda offset the whole “sneaking up on people” thing, but I’m not going to question it. It’s a Ninja on a skateboard.
Super Cool Beach T-Shirt (eBay Link) –
I am filled with a murderous rage that this isn’t an XL.
Lynda Carter bootleg figures from Argentina (eBay Link) –
I’ve seen bajillions of bootleg Wonder Woman merch in my time, but I’ve never seen bootleg Lynda Carter in that wetsuit Wonder Woman merch before. It seems like a thing I’d remember.
The Defenders Gun Set (eBay Link) –
As Rack Toys go, this, my friends, is a masterpiece. It looks licensed. This is one of those kinds of Rack Toys that make you think there is a Defenders TV Show or Comic out there, and you just haven’t seen it. It’s that good; can we talk about how absolutely dripping in the 70s this is? Oh, it probably smells like cigarettes and “the Dry look.”
70s Sticker Collection (eBay Link)–
I recently found a similar one of these and loved the good energy it had. Here’s another fun lot of memories if anybody is interested.
House of Frankenstein Wax Museum Sticker (eBay Link) –
I’ve never been to this House of Frankenstein, but it’s my idea of Graceland. I know, big surprise, I like spooky wax museums. I want to collect all this merch but so do a lot of people.
Tyrano Godzilla Knock-Off (eBay Link) –
The one thing I love about knock-offs is sometimes the toy is better than officially licensed merchandise. This guy spots smoke, roars, walks and moves his arm. What a time to be alive…
Vintage Doctor Doom Halloween Mask (eBay Link) –
This early bit of Marvel Merch just screams, “KIRBY!” and if that wasn’t enough, its choice of colours is brilliant.
Monster Puffy Stickers Vending Machine Card (eBay Link) –
If you follow this feature, you know I am obsessed with these and am also afraid of collecting them. This set is the one that almost broke me, I adore those Imperial Monster Stickers and gahhhhh, it tasks me!
Russ Berry Troll Grim Reaper (eBay Link) –
Honestly, this makes more sense. Why would the grim reaper be scary looking? I don’t think that helps in his job and sending people to the great beyond. I bet he looks like this.

10 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Love that Monster sticker set. Did you notice that the Dracula design looks like Barry Atwater from THE NIGHT STALKER?
Also, The Defenders set looks suspiciously like a Starsky & Hutch knockoff.
That Night Stalker theory is pretty solid, I think you’re right.
