Don Moor Star Trek Lives Shirt (Affiliate Link)—

Don Moor an incredible array of Star Trek shirts that would get you beat up in a grade school. This one, featuring that glorious gold key font, was probably better than cosplaying at school. 

Fleetwood painted Marvel Superheroes lot (Affiliate Link) ––

These figures were released in 1977 (see the catalog page here) and are smaller versions of the Marx Superheroes, sold as fully painted figures in dump bins. They were cast in Red, helping out many of the characters’ paint apps (I’m looking at you, Matt Murdock!). I discovered these in the 1980s when I bought a childhood set from Shawn, the clerk at my LCS. I sold them and wished I had not; they’re so cool even in this state.

Bionic Woman Model Kit (eBay Affiliate Link) —

This kit will forever remind me of high school, as there were a few of these in different variety stores during the late 1980s. Bionic stuff lingered on many store shelves, and I passed one every day going to school. It finally sold in the 90s I guess?  I never bought it, but now I’m admiring it more. However, why is Oscar Goldman performing the task? Did Rudy get kidnapped by Fembots again?

Kiss Ass Toilet Paper (Affiliate Link) —

Ah, the 1970s, when we made stuff without thinking, “Is this something people need?”

Glow Skull by Danje (Affiliate Link) —

As Halloween creeps up on us (always welcome), I thought it was my duty to share this. I’ve never heard of this before but it was made in 1970 and looks fantastic under a black light. How do I not have a black light?
