5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

  Cryotron Carry Case (eBay Link) — This was a Sears Canada exclusive, and I remember that catalogue fondly as it was the first time I saw the Mego Black Hole Humanoid and Old B.O.B. Despite it kind of looking like a “Space Toilet Seat” I dream of finding one packed with figures like the […]

Scarecrow of Romney Marsh Halloween Costume (eBay Link)— I, like a lot of kids, was pretty entranced by Patrick McGoohan’s Dr. Syn, Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. I really need to rewatch it, this costume was an excellent reminder but sadly, it’s not on Disney plus. I don’t know why that is but it feels like […]

Toy-Ventures: The Legacy of ROM: Space Knight

After a lifetime of wanting one, I finally tracked down a Parker Brothers ROM Space Knight Toy. How could a character that sold millions of comic books flop? We’ll get into that in the latest episode. #ROM #toyventures #plaidstallions Interview with Lawrence McCoy for reference. https://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/comics/rom/actionfig/mccoy.shtml Toy-Ventures is our magazine; we’re an independent publisher trying […]

The Hamburglar’s Autograph (eBay Link) — My friend Courtney sent me this, and well, I didn’t know this was a thing. Apparently, the actor who played the Hamburglar, the original “Nightmare Fuel” edition does signings? I can’t imagine anyone faking this. Now, I’m no fan of crowds, but I would go to any Con or […]

Mego Marvel Team-Up at the Mall. Spider-Man & Giant Acroyear

I was so excited to stumble upon this ad for Korvettes from 1978 featuring a Mego Superhero and Micronaut Mall Appearance. Mego famously did promotional tours with the Marvel Superheroes, Planet of the Apes characters, Action Jackson and even the cast of Star Trek. However, they also created this amazing costume of the Giant Acroyear […]

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link) — This Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs as well. The backer card of course, is famous for how Space Flyman “beats off” his enemies and trust me, I lean on that comedy crutch a […]
