CB Sweater from the 1970s (eBay Link) As a survivor of the CB radio/Trucker craze of the 1970s I have no explanation for it. I knew what I was doing but it’s like I wasn’t in control. All that lingo I memorized is by and large, useless in my present-day life. The World’s Greatest Shoes […]

  Imperial Toys Buck Rogers Pencil Toppers store displays (eBay Link) – As an acolyte of Rack Toys and Buck Rogers, these are….chef’s kiss.

Super Creepy bootleg Batman Watergun (eBay Link) – I owe this toy a tremendous debt of gratitude just for existing. This is one of the pieces that inspired my book Rack Toys. Did anyone ever say out loud, “So, you put water in his butt, squeeze his groin, and he barfs liquid?” I don’t believe […]

Dr Zaius Bank Mold (eBay Link) – There have been a few of the various moulds for banks on eBay recently, I guess that’s because they were made in the states. This one is really tasking me, I mean it’s Doctor Zaius and it’s super rare. These are my triggers…   GI Joe figure from […]
