(this contains sponsored links that give me a little to help keep the site going) Official “The Fonz” Comb (eBay affiliate Link) — Well, this is not at all screen-accurate. Like, the Fonz would […]
Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link) — This Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs as well.

Somehow though, it’s just unforgivable when you see a grown […]
