Amsco Super Babies (eBay Sponsored Link)—

As a kid I thought these were the worst thing ever, I really detested “Baby stuff” and well, these had Baby in the title. I’ve softened on them since then but still don’t need to own them.

Takara Steel jeeg   (affiliate link) —

“Baron Karza, I am your father; you too, Force Commander!” I love Jeeg despite never having seen the show itself. This wonderful Magnetic figure was retooled for the Micronauts, and while I have a loose one, this boxed one is well priced and super tempting. What I’m saying is, please take this temptation away.

Sesame Street Calendars (affiliate link) —

I vividly remember the 1978 Sesame Street Calendar, I even remember my dad having to borrow it to plan something for his business. I may have had some of the earlier ones but the memory has faded. 

Space Sentinels figure by Fleetwood Toys (affiliate link)—-

My love and admiration for the Filmation Space Sentinels is well documented (see video below); this is the closest we got to action figures. The seller also has Astrea, but sadly, no Hercules. 

McDonald’s Play Place Sign (affiliate link) —

While I did seriously have eyes for this vintage Hamburglar statue, I have to admit this would be even cooler to have in the entrance to my back yard with the addition of “under penalty of death.”

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Vintage Mego returns with a look at the Magna Heroes, a marriage of the Micronauts and the Superheroes. It’s the one Mego Superhero line most of us never got but probably should have.

Iron Man was played by Jason Lenzi.

Special thanks to Eddy Berst and Will McGowan (@toltoys_kid) for sharing their discoveries.
