1970s Shazam Pencil Case (sponsored link)

I have this strange predilection for Superhero pencil sharpeners (see the video below), but I don’t own a single pencil case for some reason. Even as a kid I knew that material wouldn’t last a lunch hour, I guess. Shazam! merch always puts me in a good mood, tho.

Inflatable Jaws shark by Imperial Toys (sponsored link) —

It’s amazing to see Imperial still making JAWS merch in the mid-1980s; that movie had staying power. This merch was likely sponsored by “Jaws the Revenge” but they chose the right poster for the box.

Bruce Lee KO Bendies (sponsored link) —

I have one of these guys loose but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the card. It’s a “Not even trying” KO meant to look like Bruce Lee, it succeeds!

70s Karate T-Shirt (sponsored link) –

Wearing this as a kid would have invoked too many challenges for my own health.

Rip Tide Puffy Stickers (sponsored link)

I think this might be the perfect gift if you have a friend who has forgotten Rip Tide exists. I used to watch this but all I remember is the nerdy guy said “Boss” a lot. 

The Lincoln Monsters are here!

Remco Batman- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Remco Batman Trik Trak- Remco made some pretty obscure toys, and Trik-Trak is one. Trik-Trak is a road race/obstacle set (battery operated) featuring a Batmobile, and it’s got some gorgeous Batman artwork all through it. Also, that’s the 1966 Batmobile which was the “go-to” in merchandising until Lawyers ruined it for a couple of decades. 

Remco Monsterizer- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Remco Monsterizer Another gem from Remco, this time it’s the Universal Monsters brand. The Monsterizer really doesn’t do anything, it just lights up and glows in the dark but it totally looks like a Kenneth Strickfaden built device and that’s good enough for me. 

Incredible Hulk Cap Gun- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Incredible Hulk Cap Gun- There is no end of stupid 70s Marvel comics merch and behold exhibit A. We all know the Hulk is a crack shot and master assassin. I do give Gordy Toys props for adding that gun into the card artwork, looks so natural. 

Bootleg Wonder Woman on a Motorcycle- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Knock Off Wonder Woman on a Motorcycle– Look out Jon and Ponch, there’s a new sheriff in town! I can’t tell you how much I love this thing, it’s just so silly. The only way I could love it more is if she was wearing the motorcycle suit that confirmed my heterosexuality in 1979.

Kojak Playset- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Sears exclusive Kojak Playset– I did a video on Kojak toys this week and well, I’d really like to own this nonsense. It has everything, Kojak, a weird-looking perp (called “the Adversary”) and a squad room. Oh, the adventures I could have…
