Bootleg Batman Water Wings (eBay link) — Try saying that five times, yet another “Red Batman,” this is really common in bootlegs. Edai Grip Gatchaman vehicles (eBay Link) – My love for Battle of the Planets remains strong and man alive; why did we not get these as kids? So perfect, so fun. […]
Fisher Price Sesame Street Playhouse (eBay Link) – I cannot tell you all the hours of fun I had with this thing as a kid and later with my kids. This set now rests in my storage unit, awaiting grandchildren (of which there is no rush). I love this toy like an old friend. […]
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. […]
Bigfoot and Wildboy Puzzle (eBay Link) – I am very predilected with the Krofft shows; this one is one of their more bizarre concepts. I guess Bigfoot adopted a lost kid and now they stop alien invasions in the woods. Also Bigfoot is clearly meant to be Bionic. I can see why I dug it […]
Burger King Pendant (eBay Link) – I have this weird obsession with Burger King; I’m not even sure why because all their food tastes like it’s been left out in the rain. However, in my travels, I’ve met more than one collector who refers to themselves as “The King!” this is all I picture when […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Fonzie Medallion (eBay Link) I’m sure this is the first prize in the Cool-a-Olympics. Honestly, I’d rather have a Henry Winkler medallion; he just seems nice. Fisher Price Adventure People Sea Explorer (eBay Link) – As Christmas experiences go, this toy was an A+ in my book. Not […]
Kenner Venus Space Probe (eBay Link) – As a dabbler in Kenner’s Six Million Dollar Man stuff, I’ve kind of resigned to the notion I’ll never own one of these. They are pricey and rare, and well, they never turn up around here. I do kind of hope I get to play with one sometime, […]
Star Trek: The Motion Picture Belt Buckle (eBay Link) – This belt buckle is almost as big as the ones in the movie; they were “Graceland” big. What makes me laugh is, did anyone walk out of that movie with a desire to copy that dress sense? Vintage 70s Spider-Man kids shirt […]
FuzzBuster Radar Detector (eBay Link)- Stuff like this reminds me of my grandfather; he bought gadgets left and right. He had a TV tray with a police scanner next to his lounger, and it was a whole thing. Anyway, I could totally see this on the dashboard of his Datsun. It just looks like it […]
Space Robot Patch (eBay Link) – When my friend Courtney sent me this, I decided to theme the whole post about bootlegs. I mean, this is crassness just mingled with laziness. The time that this company spent thinking up a name! It must have been an all-night brainstorming session. I hope they at least ordered […]
