Marchon Action Heroes Transport (eBay Link) — This  Super Powers Knock-Off toy came out when I was in the ninth grade, and I HAD TO HAVE IT, which was weird for me, at least at that time. I think it was the packaging, which truly reminds me of Mego Superheroes artwork, is the trigger here. […]

Vintage Marvel comics display from 1977 (eBay Link) — I don’t remember what this display is for but BAM! this is just my childhood.

Kenner Star Wars Taunton Commercial (eBay Link) — I collect vintage commercial reels, to me, it’s like owning a little bit of the history. To others, it’s a white box with a film strip inside, so I see both sides of this. I’m not big on Star Wars but this commercial makes me feel nine […]

Col Sanders Action Figure in car (eBay Link)-– This is from a larger playset, but if I saw this at an antique mall, it would HAVE to come home with me. Like the Hamburglar, the Col. rocks my world. Although I can’t remember the last time I ate there.      A big old bunch […]

Baskin Robbins Pink Bubblegum sign (eBay Link) – Talk about stumbling onto something. I found this looking for toy stuff, and it immediately transported me to my local Baskin and Robbins, which was luckily in the “bike ride” vicinity. I occasionally got this flavour (I was pretty committed to chocolate chip though), but it represents […]

Rod Hull Emu Game (eBay Link) — My wife has a childhood phobia over Rod Hull’s Emu. I always liked his routine but I also see how it would creep out a kid. I plan to buy this game to hopefully have one of those “Maury Povich” moments where I chase her around with it.  […]
