Five Awesome Things on Ebay this Week
Scare Cycles FrankenCycle by Ideal- After Evel Knievel did his little trick with a baseball bat, Ideal toys was left with a very popular toy concept without a theme. Scare Cycles placed the classic monsters on choppers, it made no sense but who cared?
Speaking of weird nonsense on Bikes- Who didn’t want a freewheeling Alan Alda on a motorcycle as a kid? I would have preferred Jack Klugman but this isn’t terrible.
Buck Rogers Playset by HG Toys- I don’t know what I love more here, the toy or that gorgeous Earl Norem art on the box.
FireBirds are Go! – One of the more blatant knock offs produced by Zee Toys, they weren’t even trying to disguise that these were ripping off Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds and I love them for that!
Sealed Remco Mini Monster Play Case- I always liked the notion of the Monsters being room mates, even as a kid.
After buying the "MASH" motorcycle, maybe I'll get the Smokin' hot, DRAGNET motorcycles, with Jack Webb and Harry Morgan on them.
It was always my dream to procure Father Mulcahey on a friction chopper…alas, not even Gurham's would make it…
I imagine Quincy would be riding in the sidecar of Hawkeye's motorcycle, griping about his driving.
My parents' workplace would hand those Buck Rogers playsets out at Christmastime when I was younger as a gift for boys, so my brother and I got those for a few years in a row.
