Batman Letraset set (eBay Link) —

Letraset is, to me, the superior version of Presto Magix; it’s just magical. My dream is to own someday or reproduce the Doctor Who set without the BBC hunting me down and killing me.

Evel Knievel Kid Cycle (eBay Link) —

I wonder how many kids tried to jump stuff on the least aerodynamic vehicle every made? I’m guessing 100 bajillion or possibly more.

Planet of the Apes Periscope (eBay Link)-—

As a love of all things Apes, I struggle with such paraphernalia. It’s gorgeous in its own right, but I must have boundaries…

J.J. Armes and his interchangeable Bio-Kinetic Hands (eBay Link)–

Man alive, I remember seeing the commercial on Saturday Morning just before my family hit the Woolco that afternoon. All I had on my mind was getting that sweet J.J Armes doll but it wasn’t there. Years later I’d find out this was based on a (still alive!) real guy, which just added layers to it all. 

Carded Fisher Price Adventure People Clawtron (eBay Link) —

If you haven’t watched the latest episode of Toy Talk Show, the Clawtron and the Fisher Price Adventure People are highly influential and even though this card is knackered, it doesn’t matter. Enjoy an awesome toy.

Bewitched Halloween Costume (eBay Link) —

I grew up loving BeWitched as a kid and while this suit is before my time, I do have to give props for trying to capture Elizabeth Montgomery here. It doesn’t look like her but they did do a nice try capturing her spirit. 

Adventure Team GI Joe Halloween Costume (eBay Link)—

As talking GI Joe says “I’ve got a tough assignment for you” and that tough assignment is finding one of these cheap. So bad ass….

Ben Cooper Spider-Man mask (eBay Link) —

These Ben Cooper rubber masks have a weird organic feel to them, (the Batman is particularly unsettling) but it has a certain charm now. There is no way Disney would let them make this.

Max Headroom Poncho and costume (eBay Link) ––

Of all the 80s things making comebacks, I’m really sad not to see Max. I’ll trade you an Alf and Corey Feldman for him.

Isis Halloween Costume (eBay Link) —

This is Filmation Isis, not the other kind. Oh crap, they’re kicking my door in….

BONUS ITEM

There’s another Merlin Olsen/Father Murphy costume on eBay. I know this is someone’s favourite show, make it happen Jim. In my head, the super fan’s name is Jim.

The post 5 Awesome Halloween Costumes on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Captain Action Dr. Evil Sanctuary- (eBay Link) —

I don’t actively collect Captain Action, although I have in the past. I’ve got no real connection to it other than seeing a comic ad for it as a child in a back issue and wanting it. This set is the stuff of legend in the line. It’s tough as nails and well, beautiful. I’d own one if they weren’t so rare.

Dick Tracy Fire Extinguisher by Imperial Toys (eBay Link) –

This one made me laugh, a bizarre bit of Dick Tracy Rack Toy merch. It seemed that everyone thought Dick Tracy would be as big as Batman, which didn’t get the merch it should have at the time. Not enough kids cared (I loved the little watch!) and the stuff just sat and sat. I remember visiting a “Zellers” in the mid-1990s, and they still had stacks of unsold cars.  I bet if I travelled around my town and check out some variety stores, I may be able to find some Dick Tracy merch.

Kenner Bionic Man Tattoos (eBay Link) –

I wish I had these as a kid, sure they only last an afternoon, but what an afternoon!

Space:1999 Pajamas (eBay Link)–

Not gonna lie, I’d wear these now. I do actively buy this stuff 

Hot Wheels Big Jim’s P.A.C.k car (eBay Link)—

My friend Jason pointed this out to me, I’d heard rumour of this car but never sought it out. Yup, it’s a Hot Wheel with a Big Jim P.A.C.K logo on and of course, it’s a redline and therefor coveted by HW collectors. I bought one, so I guess that makes me a Hotwheel collector. *DEEP SIGH*

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Children’s Elvira Halloween Costome (eBay Link)-

I think this may be the first one of these I’ve ever seen for sale, I only recently found out it got made. Imagineering had a licensing deal with Elvira in 1990 and made oodles of merchandise including this. Dressing a little kid as Elvira was not well received and this thing is HELLA rare. That’s right, I swore.

Estrella Falcon Samurai Warrior (eBay Link)–

I am obsessed with Falcon, Brazil’s version of GI Joe, mainly because they are still doing such cool things unlike Hasbro. Case in point is this Samurai set which is just mind blowing, I mainly focus on their Science Fiction characters but this is tempting.

A set of Popy World Hero Kamen Rider figure (eBay Link)-

I love Popy World Heroes (video below) and a couple of years ago, I would have flipped over this set of Kamen Rider characters. No offense to Ultra-Man but Kamen Rider is my hero.

Canada’s Wonderland Viewmasters (eBay Link)–

I grew up in Southern Ontario and wow, was Wonderland a big deal when it opened! I saw the Ramones there, so yeah, I was excited to find out this was a thing.

Lakeside Superhero Drawing Desk (eBay Link)-

My sister had the Disney version of this (which I ruined by drawing right on it) but I always wanted this one. I’d use it right now!

Space Ace Rack Toy (eBay Link) –

 I remember waiting in a long line to play “Dragon’s Lair” at an arcade at the CNE one summer. I put in a dollar(!) and died immediately. So I’ve never played Space Ace. Obviously, these games were the future, but this system was problematic for me at least.

Planet of the Apes makeup sample (eBay Link)–

I want to point out that I can’t verify this, but if it’s legit, then it’s a crazy bit of history. I am somewhat tempted, but I feel like that thing may rot.

McDonalds Grimace chair (eBay Link) –

Apparently, we’re in the summer of Grimace, so who am I to stand in the way of this progress? Also, I’m desperately hoping for “Hamburglar Autumn.” Make it happen, Ghost of Ray Croc!

Arco V pistol (eBay Link) –

Talk about crashing my chocolate bar into a jar of open peanut butter on the street (It happens, don’t question it). The combination of a random Rack Toy toy gun with “V” is intoxicating and over powering. I love this!

Remco Spider-Man Utility Belt (eBay Link) –

Remco made a mint off this concept, which worked for Batman or Star Trek but got weird with other Heroes (I mean, the Hulk didn’t need one.) I’m pretty sure I got this one at Dominion Playworld as a kid while staying at my grandparents. These things really didn’t last, I probably had the whole kit together for likely an afternoon. But what an afternoon!

Check out this video I made about the Remco Star Trek Utility Belt!
