Filmation Flash Gordon Shrinky Dinks (sponsored link) —

This is actually from a large lot of FG items but I chose to zero in on these awesome Shrinky Dinks, which I believe were a cereal promotion. I love that these are clearly based on the Filmation designs, although Dale is a bit off-model. 

Vending Machine Spacemen, Aliens and Robots (sponsored link) —

This kind of stuff had me parting with a quarter without a single thought. It would still happen today!

Dr Shrinker Magnifying Glass (sponsored link) —

Man, the Krofft Super Show was on fire the year it had Dr. Shrinker, Wunderbug and Electra Woman, that truly was “Must See TV” for me as a kid. Harmony made two rack toys based on the series, and they’re both better than most rack toys, at least in the logic department. 

Insect Kingdom store display (sponsored link) —

If I somehow made it past the vending machine as a kid (see above) this would be my next challenge in losing a quarter.

5 different generic Space Figure cases (sponsored link) —

I love all the fake Darth Vaders and  Temu Brand Shogun Warriors on these things, they all deserve their own figure lines and cinematic universe. 

The Lincoln Monsters are here!

Dracula Super 8 film (affiliate link) —

My friend Courteney sent me this and I dig that Dracula is a swipe of the Aurora model kit. Such things were more common in the pre-style guide Wild West.

Glasslite Street Hawk figure from Brazil (eBay Link) —

I talked about Kenner’s plan for Street Hawk a while back, but Glasslite of Brazil got it done, and it’s pretty awesome! I don’t have the cash for this lot but wow, it’s pretty neat.

Captain America Cosmic Ray Light Gun (affiliate Link) —

Every kid knows that Captain America is nothing without his Cosmic Ray Light Gun with the dodgy AA battery!

Dr. Pepper/Welcome Back Kotter shirt (affiliate link) —-

I’ve never heard of this weird cross promotion between the Sweathogs and Dr. Pepper! I love the art on this. Also Lawrence Hilton Jacobs is an underrated actor IMHO.

Krofft Super Show Chalk Board (Affiliate Link) 

I have such a strong bond with the Krofft Supershow especially the season of  Wonderbug, Dr. Shrinker and Electra Woman and Dynagirl. I’d really like to own this but I can’t display it.
