5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

  70s Kung Fu Board Game (eBay Link) — I’ve had this thing on my watchlist for weeks, it’s so damned wonderful. It is a total collage of what the inside of my head looked like at 11. I just don’t know where I’d put all this stuff. Display box of Vintage Monster Rings (eBay […]

Mattel Slime with Worms commercial (eBay Link) — I never had slime as a kid, well, not “official Mattel brand” Slime; I did manage some through a grocery store vending machine (so good!) For some reason, I vividly remember this commercial and really wanting the stuff. In hindsight, this sort of thing is almost impossible […]

  Spider-Man and Captain America Richochet Racers (eBay Link) — I’ve never owned these toys but have always been obsessed with them since I saw them at my friend Richard’s House. None of it makes sense and none of it has to, I always loved the comic book ad for this, it also makes zero […]

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Battlestar Galactica Vertibird (eBay Link) — Okay, so technically, this isn’t a Battlestar Galactica toy, but it totally is. Mattel pulled a little label-slap action (something that is VERY Mattel)  swapping BSG (which I assume aired in Italy?) with the very popular Mazinga Z television series. Such “nobody […]

Filmation Flash Gordon Iron-On (eBay Link) — I’m tempted to buy this, as much as Filmation‘s Tarzan will forever be my great love, this series is a total zenith for the company. Welcome Back Kotter Bulletin Board (eBay Link) I spend a lot of time goofing on Sweathog merch so it seems fair to showcase […]

Superheroes ROTRADRAW set (eBay Link) I’ve never heard of the Rota Draw sets before but after seeing one of these on Instagram, I became smitten. I can’t imagine it worked well but there is a certain hypnotic quality to that DC Comics stock artwork.   Souvenir pillow from the World of Sid and Marty Krofft […]

Original Mattel Pulsar commercial Reel (eBay Link)\ Normally I’d buy this piece of history and transfer it but it’s been a pricey week and I’ve already bought three reels. The seller also has the Kenner Maskatron commercial reel as well. Mego Elastic Superman (eBay link)– I think these things are both dumb and awesome. I […]

  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 […]

  Original Black Hole Magazine Cover Art (eBay Link) — As a lover of all things Black Hole, I will say this is striking. The Cygnus is one of the coolest space ships ever built. My only quibble with this is and no offense to Robert Forster but why no Vincent or Bob? Not to […]
