Larami The Alien Glow Putty (Sponsored Link) —

You know, I think I like Alien rip-off movies and toys more than I like the actual Alien franchise. I don’t know why that is but thank you Alien for being so darn easy to copy.

The Fonz Shirt (sponsored Link) –

These 70s photo print shirts need to be brought back quickly and in a big way.

Durham’s Dare Devil Rider (Sponsored Link) —

This may be one of the derpiest action figures ever made, Durham was trying to cash in on Evel Kneviel. However, this dude’s entire skill set is just…..waving a flag. Makes you wonder if always wore his helmet.

Karate Defenders Ninja Head Band (Sponsored Link) —

Hey, if you want to be a Ninja, you’ve got to advertise. I love the angry swarm of divorced dads on the card. We all know the best Ninjas are ginger white guys.

Bootleg Planet of the Apes Cornelius (sponsored link)

After 18 years of doing this, I am going to assume I don’t have to explain why I like this. 

Krull Flying Glaive toy by Kusan (Sponsored Link) —

This is one of those things I’d like to think I have seen before, but when I see it again, it’s a total surprise. Kusan made a logical item that would have sold if Krull was a hit. (Narrator: It wasn’t a hit) 

I’ve tried to watch Krull more than one time but it’s slow and has many vistas.

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

EBAY LINK Krull Cyclops Costume Even though I’m not the biggest fan of the film, I’m always predilected with Halloween Costumes from movies that don’t succeed and this one is definitely in that category.

EBAY LINK Banana Splits Promotional Records Big Surprise, I collect children’s records, and this mail-away promo from Kellogs is so tempting, especially because i dig the Splits a whole bunch.

EBAY LINK Chienco Frankenstein Trash Can– I love Frankenstein but I already have a Cheinco Planet of the Apes trashcan, so I’ll reluctantly pass on this. It’s wonderful though.

EBAY LINK Hercules Super 8 cartoons– AGHHHH! I WANT THESE SO BAD! Like most 70s Ontario kids, I watched the Mighty Hercules cartoons on Global, not realizing (but suspecting) that it was an older show. The merch is so tempting but I just worry about yet another thing, I keep picturing my kids trying to sell it all in 2050.

FACEBOOK GROUPS FROM PLAIDSTALLIONS

Pod Stallions is one of the most fun groups on Facebook.

Mego Knock Off Headquarters– The leading group discussing 70s dimestore goodness, we talk vintage toys, not others!

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

Buck Rogers Shrinky Dinks– I’ll admit, I still giggle at the name “Shrinky Dinks” and always will, I’m an eight-year-old with a mortgage.

TRON Beach Towel- I’m not even that big of a fan of TRON and I want this, it’s that good.

Life Like Dangling Hong Kong Spider– I’m positive this came in a GI Joe set I had as a kid. This is dimestore purity.

Hulk and Spider-Man TV Showtime– Back in my day we didn’t need any fancy ipads, we just had this and dreamed of a magic computer that could show us non-stop cartoons.

An entire store display of the Krull Game– I’m surprised the people who work on “The Goldbergs” haven’t swooped this puppy up.

SPECIAL PROPS TO DAVID LOCKWOOD FOR PUTTING THIS WEEK’S LIST TOGETHER.

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #1 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.
