Knock-Off Charlie’s Angels outfits (affiliate link) –

I had no idea such things existed until this week, I have to share it! The name “Daring Darlings” is much work compared to “Chuck’s Halo Gals.” This is why they pay me the mid-size bucks, folks! Likable mediocrity!

-Krofft Supershow Lunch Box (affiliate link)

Terrible confession time: I don’t own one of these! If I’ve let you down, I’ll, of course, understand. I’m a total fraud. *runs away, sobbing*

Seriously, it just hasn’t happened yet but I hope it does.

Sears GI Joe Adventure Team Box (affiliate link)–

It’s an empty box, I get it. I never saw or knew of it as a kid, I get it. I don’t need to go down this rabbit hole, I get it.

But why do I want it so bad that it’s making me nuts?

Whitman Star Wars 3 Pack of Marvel Reprints (affiliate link)—

My pal Corey mentioned getting Whitman 3-packs at gas stations as a kid over the weekend and well, that got me searching. This one is forever etched in my mind, so much so that on my son’s birthday, one year, I bought him this issue. #16, one of my favourites, he still has it!

Harmony Toys Scooby Doo Fire Chief Toy (affiliate link) –

Over the years, I’ve been perplexed by the choices a toy company called Harmony has made. I’m almost sure it’s some “hipster time traveller” making weird crap so I talk about it. Case in point, the shoddiest fireman and dalmation repainted to look barely like Shag and Scoob? Whoever approved this probably got vermouth on it.

This toy would have grabbed my childhood money quicker than a vacuum although i would have been pretty bummed it wasn’t an actual shrink ray (I wasn’t class valedictorian) .


It’s just one in a series of somewhat series relevant rack toys from Harmony who seemed to have the license for Krofft Supershow, here is the magnifying glass.

What can I say? I’m a sucker for toys with Jay Robinson’s face on them. I’m also impressed with the amount of thought went into these, they’re really well done.
