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. 

Web Woman Halloween Costume (eBay Link) —

My obsession with Filmations “Tarzan and Super 7” is well documented here.  Web Woman would be my #1 favourite of those shows and I literally buy anything I see with her on it (which is not much!)  I own this suit and have featured it here.

Torak Estrella Falcon figure (eBay Link) –

Brazil strikes again with cool toys. Torak is the enemy of Falcon (AKA GI Joe) and he’s ten times better than the Intruder. I can’t say enough about how cool these are. For those not into an original vintage Torak’s price tag, there are well-done reproductions available. 

House of Frankenstein Wax Museum Decal (eBay Link) –

I’m obsessed with the Lake George NY House of Frankenstein wax museum, despite never having been there. We used to have a Canadian version here in the falls that is still there but it’s more of a haunted house now. 

AHI Spider-Man Super Klobbers (eBay Link)–

AHI pretty much swiped the “Socker Boppers” concept for these licensed versions. I featured the Batman set about a month or so back but I’ve never seen the Spider-Man set before and look! A rare cameo from Iron Man!
