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!
