5 Awesome Things on eBay this Black Friday

Kung Fu Bath Robe (eBay Link)–

My pal Dr. Durant sent this in and well, I wish it fit me because I’d wear it everywhere. Dress for the job you want and all….

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.

Comics Spain Planet of the Apes Soldier (eBay Link) –

For a brief time, Comics Spain was the only company making Superhero Action figures, well inaction figures as they were all PVC-like Smurfs. I have a soft spot for these especially the Soldier Ape. The only Mego Apes figure sold in Spain was the Soldier, so this is kind of cool to me.

McDonalds Grimace Playground Equipment/Child cage (eBay Link) –

You know that trope of “I’ll never tell people I won the lottery, but there will be signs?” Yeah, this terrifying thing will be in my front garden, and you better believe it will have a speaker.

70s Don Ho promotional glass (eBay Link)–

Now, I’m not an expert on Tiki Bars (not a cocktail guy), but I have to think, one isn’t complete without a glass with Hawaii’s favourite son.

Space:1999 Megaphone (eBay Link) –

Yeah, I’m not sure what to say here. I guess Moonbase Alpha has a lot of hostage negotiations; that or nobody at Vaniity Fair knows about sound in a vacuum.
