Cryotron Carry Case (eBay Link) — This was a Sears Canada exclusive, and I remember that catalogue fondly as it was the first time I saw the Mego Black Hole Humanoid and Old B.O.B. Despite it kind of looking like a “Space Toilet Seat” I dream of finding one packed with figures like the […]
The Hamburglar’s Autograph (eBay Link) — My friend Courtney sent me this, and well, I didn’t know this was a thing. Apparently, the actor who played the Hamburglar, the original “Nightmare Fuel” edition does signings? I can’t imagine anyone faking this. Now, I’m no fan of crowds, but I would go to any Con or […]

Vintage Marvel comics display from 1977 (eBay Link) — I don’t remember what this display is for but BAM! this is just my childhood.

DFC the Tower of the Night Playset (eBay Link) — There is nothing I don’t like about this. I mean I had a set like this and wouldn’t need another but looking at that box art just makes want to buy it. It’s like a VHS movie with no pictures on the back of the […]
Street Hawk Wallet by Fleetwood Toys (eBay link) – Oh man, I wish I had one of these in college and also the balls to use it ironically. Mayor McCheese Certificate (eBay Link) — Sure, it’s $30 for a piece of paper but it insures “FUN AND HAPPINESS EVERY DAY!” For that, I’d even […]
Toy-Ventures: The Great Toy Trek Part 1 Toy-Ventures hits the road, and this time, I’m not alone.

The Most Incredible Van in the world (eBay Link) My friend Steve sent me this mainly because it looks like the real-world version of Brick Mantooth’s Van-Tooth. It’s always been my dream to live in a cool van of this nature. Not sure about the nekkid lady mural but I’ll cross that bridge after I […]

Chris AKA Mysterion the Mind Reader sent in this awesome shot from late 1970s in conjunction with a new McDonalds opening at in the plaza at Duffferin and Lawrence in Toronto.
