Lili Ledy Star Wars Tusken Raider Doll (sponsored link) —

This is one of those things that I don’t get about myself. I don’t really collect Star Wars and have none of the other 12″, and yet, I have always wanted this thing. I suppose it’s the Mexican toy charm (big fan!), combined with my lifelong love for the Kenner action figure.  My folks got me one early from a gift show in ’78. I’d not seen Star Wars and wasn’t sure how significant a role he played. I was let down when I discovered he wasn’t much of a character. 

Grover and Maria Sesame Street 45 (sponsored link) —

I don’t own this record, but when I woke up on Monday, this was the first thing I saw, and it brought me a tiny bit of joy. I mean, it’s Maria and Grover, who in my eyes can do no wrong. Although…between you and me…shitty waiter…

HG Toys Knock Off Jaws Puzzle –(sponsored link)

I picture a lawyer telling the artist to name the boat “Tracy Lee” to avoid anyone thinking it was the Orca.

Glasslite Bad Fighters –(sponsored link) —

Do I even need to say this is a Karate Kid Knock-Off figure? I probably didn’t, but this one has got the whole “ironic title” thing going on.

Sure, you can use the Homer Simpson “in modern slang, “bad” can mean “good” defence, but I’m going to decide in favour of comedy. 

An alternate theory is that this is a comedy, and there’s a Brazilian cartoon show where these guys get beaten up every week. I’d watch that…

LJN RoadStars “The Waltons” diecast truck —-(sponsored link)

A lot of people give Mego crap about licensing the Waltons, but they weren’t the only ones making John Boy merch. Case in point, LJN thought this would get noticed in a series that contained the Space:1999 Eagle, the Mystery Machine and Fred Flinstone’s car? I was going to say this was the peg warmer in this line, but the smart money is on the Hogan’s Heroes “bad guy” car.

Amazing Spanish Sticker book (affiliate link)–

I featured this incredible sticker book in the “regerts” part of my Monster Bash recap. I can’t begin to describe how cool it is. It seems to have been a puzzle activity, but the range of characters is amazing, including Paul Naschy as Waldemar! It’s epic, amazing, and I wish I had bought it. Please do yourself a favour and look at the photos of this thing, it’s soo cool.

Bionic Man Paint by Numbers set (affiliate link) —

I may not know art but I know what I like.

Tara Toys Dark Adventure Play Case (affiliate link) —

I can’t get over how many 80s Fantasy playsets used the same characters. I never saw this clever set before but nearly all of the monsters are old friends. Heck it even includes the Colorforms Outer Space men in there (which I had in this cool set Alien Attack, see below.)

Miyarabi’s Prayer: Kill Mechagodzilla 45 

While this is from my favourite Godzilla film of all time, I was never a fan of this song to King Cesar as a kid because it slowed down an otherwise fast paced film. I never knew it was released as a single before.

The Ultimate collection of Collegeville Ultra-Man costumes (affiliate link) —

If you like Ultra-Man AND Halloween Costumes, this auction is fantastic as it showcases all the variants (Which, BTW, are in issue 6 of Toy-Ventures, just sayin’) and the original prototypes from the Collegeville archives. One of a kind stuff makes me giddy.
