Kenner SSP Drag King Creature from the Black Lagoon (sponsored eBay link) —

My pal Matt sent this to me, and honestly, I had forgotten it was real. It’s not an official CFTBL item but it was made in the age where toy companies could get away with getting this close.

Also, I want to mention this link is sponsored; I receive mild compensation for you clicking the link

Kamen Rider Hot Wheels (sponsored link)–

I’m not a Hot Wheels guy, unless it’s a fantasy vehicle and I snoozed on these in 2003 (My kid had colic and I don’t remember much of it) and now regret it. These are essential for my work space.

Jack Davis Sesame Street Puzzles (sponsored eBay link)

My friend Courtney sent me this, and I can’t get over how awesome these would look framed. I love the mixing of Jack Davis and the muppets, I love his take on the characters. Also, Roosevelt Franklin was awesome!

80s Soap Opera inspired soap set (sponsored eBay link)—

The gift you give someone who loves Soap Operas, and, well, that’s the only thing you know about the person. The concept of getting gifts for people you don’t know goes back to the Egyptians…

Lynda Carter Iron-On T-Shirt (Sponsored eBay link)–

I don’t really know anyone that doesn’t like Lynda Carter and I hope I never run into one.

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week! Happy Friday!

EBAY LINK Logan’s Run Farrah Fawcett Towel

There really isn’t enough Logan’s Run merchandise out there and honestly, there will never be enough for me. I do, however, have a soft spot for stuff like this towel, which is obviously meant to cash more in on the popularity of Farrah than the movie. I just don’t know what I’d do with it…

EBAY LINK The Shadow Colouring Book-

The Shadow is, of course, a wonderful radio and pulp character from my Grandfather’s day, he got some unusual merchandise in the middle 70s and this book is one of those out-of-place items that I’ve actually featured on this blog. This is an amazing price BTW.

EBAY LINK Destination Moon Base Alpha Poster-  So sometime in the late 1970s, two episodes of Space:1999 were merged together and released theatrically because…star wars. I own this poster, it’s one of my prized possessions, it’s just so gorgeous and exciting. You owe it to yourself to see Martin Landau every day.

EBAY LINK Argentinian LP featuring Wonder Woman, Star Wars and Charlies Angels. Look, I have no idea with this is about but look at that cover, I want to see that movie.

EBAY LINK Action Man Solar Hurricane– This is actually a Kenner Six Million Dollar Man vehicle but it was repurposed for the wonderful Action Man space line, which also included ROM Space Knight. I love foreign toys and variations like this.

Issue 4 of Toy-Ventures magazine ships this June
