5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Kenner Bionic Woman Designer Dresses (eBay Link) —
Catalogue mailer items are one of those things I admire, and as a toy collector, I feel they add a charm to everything. I don’t collect Bionic Woman, but I think this set is unique. yes, I know water stains are gross; I get it, but it’s a cool one-of-a-kind item, and I can see past that.
Remco “The Bad Guys” Chopper (eBay Link) —
Remco was good at sneaking into a kid’s toy box. It wasn’t GI Joe, but it felt close, and there is no way your mom could tell Cobra from the Bad Guys logo. No, I won’t believe you had a “SUPERMOM” that could do that. If so, deep envy, mad respect. I hate you.
Batman String Art (eBay link)
Remember a couple of weeks back when I threatened an “All Batman Crafting” installment? Yeah, I was not kidding. String Art seems to have dipped severely since the middle 1970s but it sure did peak. I love stuff like this and I also love how the box design is lazy but also letting the character art sell it.
Lone Ranger Carson City Playset (eBay Link) —
I don’t collect the fantastic Gabriel Lone Ranger toy line but I do admire the care in which it was made. Just look at this gorgeous thing, it’s huge too!
Dune Panini Stickers and album (eBay link) –
Imagine the lucky kid who got the “boil scraping” sticker, which I assume was gold foil or the hologram sticker of a heart plug being pulled out. Hooo doggie, Dune was not understood by it’s licensors.

The Remco people must have stayed up all night asking, “Okay, what should we call the bad guys?”
