Slam Bam Diesels (eBay Link)– I do not recall this toy line, which brilliantly merges Smash Up Derby with RC cars. I will, however, be stealing “Slam Bam Diesels” should I ever form a dad garage band. Batman Stained Glass Kit (eBay Link) — I could do a “5 Awesome Batman crafts […]
Fantastic Four Water Pistol (eBay Link) — France’s Pin Pin Toys carried a ton of products from Mego and AHI but also made their own products like this pretty non-descript water gun. The Fantastic Four are huge in France and well, that seems totally deserved. Spider-Man Sticker Book from France (eBay Link) […]
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. Bonus nostalgia points for using some of the same clip art as the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes. Star Wars Carnival Mirror (eBay Link) — I miss the age of Carnival […]
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 […]
Street Hawk Wallet by Fleetwood Toys (eBay link) – Oh man, I wish I had one of these in college and also the balls to use it ironically. Mayor McCheese Certificate (eBay Link) — Sure, it’s $30 for a piece of paper but it insures “FUN AND HAPPINESS EVERY DAY!” For that, I’d even […]
It’s Halloween and if you’re struggling for what to wear, check out 5 Awesome Halloween Costumes on eBay this week: 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. […]
Meccano ROM from France (eBay Link) — International versions of ROM: Space Knight are super fun, and I’m not sure I’d ever seen this one before. As cool as this is, I still think my favourite ROM is when he joined the Action Man team. Spectreman Pannini stickers (eBay Link) – Wow, I loved Panninni […]
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 […]
