Bootleg Cookie Monster Lamp (sponsored link)–
Oddball homemade off-model ceramics are a joy to find in the wild; they can often be kind of regional. This Cookie Monster has upped the cuteness factor by one million. DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO HIS EYEEEEssssss….Yes Master, I will bring you sacrificial cookies for the Om-nom-nom-nom.

Ideal BeWitched Tabitha doll (sponsored link) —

This was one of my mum’s favourite TV shows as a result, I’ve seen a lot of it.

I came away with a crush on Elizabeth Montgomery, an appreciation for Paul Lynde and I occasionally call my dog “Dr. Bombay.”

Doctor Who TARDIS Tuner (sponsored link) –

I’ve wanted one of these since the 1980s. I still am not positive what it does, but that era of Doctor Who could sell me used socks.

Vintage Shaft fashions (sponsored link)–

I had no idea that the film adaptation of “Shaft” spawned merchandise, but last week I saw a display of sunglasses, and this week I see this glorious shirt.

A shirt that most definitely ever came in my “village lummox” size, and I couldn’t pull it off anyway….

Super Agent HAVOC doll (sponsored link) —

Havoc is such an awesome toy adventure concept for girls, it’s like “Kim Possible” but in 1976. I hope to do this line justice in our magazine soon, but yeah, this is a real neat-o rabbit hole.

The seller also has an adventure set and a motorcycle on auction as well.

The Lincoln Monsters Backer Kit Store is now open to the public. After the successful Kickstarter campaign (Thank You Again!), BackerKit is the next chance to get in on the Lincoln Horror Show.

EBAY LINK Black Hole Soap- 5 Awesome Things on eBay

EBAY LINK Black Hole Soap– I featured Black Hole soap on eBay previously but I’ve never noticed the Cygnus version of this before.

EBAY LINK Kojak Bike Siren– It is my goal on 5 awesome things on eBay to feature every weird bit of Kojak merchandise ever. I was a kid in the 1970s and yes, we knew who Kojak was but we never once, all said “Let’s play Kojak!”. We played SWAT, Emergency, and even CHiPs (I always ended up Sarge, boo!) but I cannot remember any kid on my cul-de-sac ever saying “who loves you, baby?”

EBAY LINK Secret Wars Captain America Airborn Parachutes by Fleetwood- These seem like the 80s version of the Azrak Hamway parachute figures I obsess about but I can’t abide that basket, it’s like Cap has gone for a balloon ride, I imagine he’s got a nice bottle of Reisling and some brie in there too.

Havoc Super Agent Doll Training Pack Weapons Set- HAVOC is this amazing UK 70s toyline that is basically fashion dolls that are butt-kicking spies, it’s really ahead of it’s time. The dolls are a little too stylized for my liking but the art on these boxes is wonderful, EBAY LINKseller also has another adventure kit up for grabs. I really need to do a feature in Toy-Ventures on these soon.

EBAY LINK Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind Puzzle– My friend Dave sent me this with the note “Don’t you want a puzzle of naked space children?” and yeah, this is probably one of the reasons that Star Wars merch sold better.
