!960s Ron Ely Tarzan Vinyle from Japan (eBay Link) – If you’re familiar with me, you know I have a fondness for Tarzan figures, especially foreign ones. This Japanese vinyl of Ron (He’ll always be Doc Savage to me) Ely is really exceptional to me. I’ll never own it but I am so happy it […]
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. […]
Baywatch Rack Toy (eBay Link) -‘ I post this not as a Baywatch fan (never seen one) but as a Rack Toy enthusiast. I know Baywatch played during the day a lot, but I think it was more popular with teen boys than kids. What warms my heart is that it’s essentially a ray gun, […]
Imperial Toys Buck Rogers Pencil Toppers store displays (eBay Link) – As an acolyte of Rack Toys and Buck Rogers, these are….chef’s kiss. A wonderful time capsule to dime stores, I absolutely love these. I also predict this is possibly one of very few times I’ll ever see these. A complete set of Marx […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week 1980s Batman Sewing Pattern (eBay Link) – Excellent, a father and son Kenner Super Powers Batman suit. This would not be me and my dad, this dad was very special in the 1980s. Honestly, I don’t even know if I could do this with my kid and I […]
Prize Machine from the UK with a Captain Zargon action figure (eBay Link) – Where to begin on this thing? 1) it’s one of those seaside/vacation items of the era, where you throw in money hoping to get something worthwhile but you’re likely getting a sticker. The thing that makes it special is the Action […]
Scooby Doo Police Chief Rack Toy by Harmony (eBay Link) – Harmony is one of my favourite Rack Toy manufacturers, mainly because a) they chose a lot of weird licenses and b) I am always surprised by them. This Scooby Doo toy is news to me, I’ve never seen it and it’s pretty awesome. These […]
Charlie’s Angels Target Set (eBay Link) – This is a bit of a head-scratcher, it almost feels like you’re going to shoot the Angels. I figure it’s time to make a controversial statement and that is, Kelly is the best Angel. There, I said it, no offence to Farrah or the brainy one but it’s […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Hulk Toy? (eBay Link) – Hulk smooshed! I am not judging, this is a dilemma collectors face. Do I throw this out? Or is it worth something to someone else? I’m going to watch this and see who is right. Mr. Bill T-Shirt (eBay Link) – Mr. […]
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 […]
