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 Expo and gladly brave the (inevitable) BO and getting smacked by backpacks to shake that hand.

Bruce Lee Black Light Poster (eBay Link) —

I’d buy this, but I’d need wood panelling, and I tend to avoid lumber yards. It’s a rare phobia.

Rapco Wolfman Statue (eBay Link) —

I’ve waxed poetically about Rapco monster hobby sets for many years, but I actually don’t own any. After my debacle trying to make a Captain Kirk Mix n Mold set, I think buying one that is done competently is the best course of action for me.

Star Trek Enterprise necklace (eBay Link) —

70s Trek merch is awesome; this pendant totally reminds me of “Cat’s Paw,” and that is a good thing in this house. Those little puppets at the end are so neat too.

New Adventures of Gilligan Dip Dots set (eBay Link) —

Warning: do not confuse “Dip Dots” with “Dippin’ Dots” as one tastes terrible, and the other is just paint. I freaking loved the Filmation New Adventures of Gilligan as a kid. My friend Joe gave me a DVD of it years back and yeah, my kids didn’t get it. They grew up when the original series wasn’t on 20 times daily.  I guess you had to be there.

Before anyone bemoans this fact, I got them hooked on Superfriends, Ren and Stimpy, and so many other classic cartoons, so they got an education.

Mr. Spock Towel (eBay Link)  This thing is so epic, I wish I could actually figure out a way to display vintage towels but I can’t and so it will not be mine to purchase. The Seller has a Logan’s Run towel as well.

Pufnstuf Felt Pennant 22 inches tall Sid & Marty Krofft (eBay Link) I am somewhat immune to PufnStuff merch, one of the few Krofft shows I can say that about but this thing is gorgeous looking and I love it.

Plush Dracula from 1979 by Robin Krause (eBay Link) I’ve seen this plush Dracula in 79 catalogs and it’s just so cute and at the same time random. Plush Dracula figures are more or less commonplace now, especially at this time of year but this thing was a pioneer of sorts.

Rapco Creature from the Black Lagoon Kit (eBay Link) This thing is the stuff dreams are made up, I put this set up there with the Aurora Model, the AHI figure and the Penn Plax Aquarium figurine.

Holmes and Yo-Yo Halloween Costume (eBay Link) Folks, stuff like this is why I do 5 Awesome Things, a freaking Holmes and Yo-Yo Halloween costume. This fulfills every boy’s fantasy of growing up to be John Schuck! How did this happen? How many could have possibly sold? I need to know everything

about this.
