5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Rod Hull Emu Game (eBay Link) —
My wife has a childhood phobia over Rod Hull’s Emu. I always liked his routine but I also see how it would creep out a kid. I plan to buy this game to hopefully have one of those “Maury Povich” moments where I chase her around with it.
Web Woman Halloween Costume (eBay Link) —
My obsession with Filmations “Tarzan and Super 7” is well documented here. Web Woman would be my #1 favourite of those shows and I literally buy anything I see with her on it (which is not much!) I own this suit and have featured it here.
Torak Estrella Falcon figure (eBay Link) –
Brazil strikes again with cool toys. Torak is the enemy of Falcon (AKA GI Joe) and he’s ten times better than the Intruder. I can’t say enough about how cool these are. For those not into an original vintage Torak’s price tag, there are well-done reproductions available.
House of Frankenstein Wax Museum Decal (eBay Link) –
I’m obsessed with the Lake George NY House of Frankenstein wax museum, despite never having been there. We used to have a Canadian version here in the falls that is still there but it’s more of a haunted house now.
AHI Spider-Man Super Klobbers (eBay Link)–
AHI pretty much swiped the “Socker Boppers” concept for these licensed versions. I featured the Batman set about a month or so back but I’ve never seen the Spider-Man set before and look! A rare cameo from Iron Man!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your awesome eBay finds each Friday It’s something I look forward to and helps me to have some perspective after a long week. It gives me a sense of connection with others – a shared interest and nostalgia and appreciation for simpler things that are uncontroversial in these divisive times!
Keep up the good work!
I’m just curious: was Torak made before the [1970s], Hasbro, Super Joe, action figures?
Was Torak one of the inspirations for the Super Joe figures?
