5 Awesome Things on Ebay this week

Super Creepy bootleg Batman Watergun (eBay Link) –

I owe this toy a tremendous debt of gratitude just for existing. This is one of the pieces that inspired my book Rack Toys. Did anyone ever say out loud, “So, you put water in his butt, squeeze his groin, and he barfs liquid?” I don’t believe it.

 

 

V Shirt (eBay Link) –

Even though “V” rocked our world for three years, we never got the merchandise that other countries did. I love this child’s shirt from Argentina; it’s probably not licensed, but who cares?

 

Glasslite Dracula Set from Brazil (eBay Link) –

Brazil is a magical land of toys that you probably had a dream about. This Dracula set is one of my favourites as it includes an action figure, his killer Fiero and his sweet pickup truck. That’s right, Dracula advertises because he’s a badass. You know this Dracula has Dokken in the tape deck.

 

 

Conan Medallion (eBay Link) –

I stared at this comic ad a lot; not really into Conan, but he always seemed to have the best art. He always looked cool, I’m just not a fantasy type.

 

20th Century Fox Belt Buckle (eBay Link) –

As a fan of Apes movies, this logo means happiness or possibly a terrible Star War. Either way, anyone who looked at it would immediately hum that theme tune in their head, just like you did.
