5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Borgnine Stamps, Giant Scorpions, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Archie and LOOK INTO MY EYES BROTHER MAN!

(this post contains sponsored links, it pays a lot less than stripping. Even for me.)

Wonder Woman Mitts (affiliate link) —

Wonder Woman merchandise will always remind me of the “only towel left in stock” in Florida when i was a kid.  I also find it weird that 70s merchandise still used 40s art. Perhaps it was an aesthetic choice.

Gigantics Giant Scorpion Model Kit (affiliate Link) —

God I love these amazing mid-70s kits which came out at a time when we got giant bug movies again (although not super great ones.) I’ve bought these over the years but I’m never going actually to put one together. They do rock, though.

Mattel Archies Huggables (affiliate link) —

Huggables was one of two attempts to make Archie toys in the 1970s, the first one was by Marx. Marx also made the carry case in this lot. I’ve never understand why Archie didn’t translate to toy sales, he’s so well known. There were periods of my childhood where I would have killed for toys from Riverdale but not the CW Riverdale, those would have to be done by McFarlane.

Corgi Incredible Hulk Tricycle (Affiliate Link) —

Finally, a believable Hulk vehicle! I chose this for the striking card art; I don’t know why, but a lot of UK companies chose Orange for the Hulk packaging, and they were so right! He pops right out of there, doesn’t he?

Airwolf Stamp Set (affiliate link) —

Ask yourself, how have you lived with an Ernest Borgnine Rubber stamp? I want to put him on everything…

BONUS ITEM

Black Velvet Hulk Hogan (affiliate link)—

My friend Courtney sent me this, and I struggled with posting it. I am no fan of Wrestling, and my opinion of the “Hulkster” isn’t super good, but I don’t want to poop on anybody’s childhood here.

However, this work of art haunts me; the expression, those eyes and the little details, like his famous “Plus sign” necklace, make me want this on my mantle. I’d have to get a mantle, but I’m considering it.

The painting also controls me now, I need a jet ski…and a time share condo in Tampa..yes… master/brother man….I obey….
