Lakeside Monster Writer (sponsored link)

I wonder if there is a collection of novelty monster pens like this somewhere. I’d go for stuff like this but get disappointed in the pen running out like a day later. I was one of those kids that didn’t like blank pages much….

KISS Watercolour Paints (sponsored link)-

This is a bit of vintage KISS merch I’d never seen before. This is probably because it’s an Australian item made by “Rockin’ Roo Products” which really hits home where it’s from. Excuse me now, I’m going to start a company called “Boppin’ Beaver”

GI Joe Adventure Team Halloween Costume (sponsored link) —

As much as I’m a super fanboy of the Adventure Team era, I have never purchased a Halloween Costume. I drool over the Mike Power and Super Joe ones, which are relatively rare, this guy is not as expensive and is pretty darn cool.

Tarzan Birthday Party Supplies (sponsored link) —

“Tarzan Birthday Party” was the name of my ill-fated improv group in college. Also, never start an improv group at a business school. Seeing as how much I was drawn to the Filmation Tarzan series, I’d have really welcomed this for my 6th birthday.

A Skull Full of Snakes by Arco Toys (sponsored link) —

I enjoy the “Ron Swanson-esque” honesty in this toy’s name; it says what it is, plainly and truly, requiring no further explanation. Seriously, the second blurb should be “Contents: Reread the title son.”

Children’s Elvira Halloween Costome (eBay Link)-

I think this may be the first one of these I’ve ever seen for sale, I only recently found out it got made. Imagineering had a licensing deal with Elvira in 1990 and made oodles of merchandise including this. Dressing a little kid as Elvira was not well received and this thing is HELLA rare. That’s right, I swore.

Estrella Falcon Samurai Warrior (eBay Link)–

I am obsessed with Falcon, Brazil’s version of GI Joe, mainly because they are still doing such cool things unlike Hasbro. Case in point is this Samurai set which is just mind blowing, I mainly focus on their Science Fiction characters but this is tempting.

A set of Popy World Hero Kamen Rider figure (eBay Link)-

I love Popy World Heroes (video below) and a couple of years ago, I would have flipped over this set of Kamen Rider characters. No offense to Ultra-Man but Kamen Rider is my hero.

Canada’s Wonderland Viewmasters (eBay Link)–

I grew up in Southern Ontario and wow, was Wonderland a big deal when it opened! I saw the Ramones there, so yeah, I was excited to find out this was a thing.

Lakeside Superhero Drawing Desk (eBay Link)-

My sister had the Disney version of this (which I ruined by drawing right on it) but I always wanted this one. I’d use it right now!
