Vintage Marvel comics display from 1977 (eBay Link) —

I don’t remember what this display is for but BAM! this is just my childhood. Bonus nostalgia points for using some of the same clip art as the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes.

Star Wars Carnival Mirror (eBay Link) —

I miss the age of Carnival Mirrors, also kudos for the seller not doing something embarrassing in the reflection. I’ve seen some terrible things on the Facebook marketplace, me buckos. *Swigs brown liquor from a flask*

Outer Limits Jigsaw Puzzle (eBay Link) —

I really dig the Outer Limits ever since I caught the reruns on the “Chuck the Security Guard” show as a kid. The merchandise is particularly awesome, this puzzle is from the episode “Tourist Attraction.”

Rocky Bubbles Rack Toys (eBay Link) —

Do I need to do a write-up to point out this thing is silly? Nah, you all see it. I love that Popeye cameos though, now there is a fight I’d love to see.

Fisher Price Adventure People 3 Pack (eBay Link) —

I got off the Adventure People train before all the space stuff happened but I do remember liking a lot of their retooled creations. The robot in the middle always seemed like it came out of a Doctor Who from the 60s. That, in my book, makes it awesome.

BONUS AWESOME THING!

McDonaladland Spaceship toy (eBay Link) –

I totally had this one lunchtime 42 years ago and completely forgot about it. I’m not willing to pay fifty bucks for it but I did consider it. It must have been connected to a good experience because it made me happy for a minute. It’s strange what can set that off sometimes…

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

Donmoor Captain Kirk Pajamas (eBay Link) I know I drone on and on about the Star Trek clothing produced by Donmoor but I don’t care, it’s awesome and I wish I had this stuff as a kid. No boogie man would screw with a kid wearing that smug Shat on his chest, he looks like he’s just about to sing!

LJN Space:1999 Commlinks (eBay Link) These portable walkie-talkies by LJN were actually rather well done for the time. The viewscreen included cardboard black and white photos so you can facetime with Commander Koenig. I remember buying a set of these in 1987 from a collector, she said to me “Can you imagine people wearing a phone on their belt like that? Stupid?”. I really wanted to find her number in the late 1990s.

World of Sid and Marty Krofft theme park badge (eBay Link)- So sometime in the mid-seventies, Sid and Marty Krofft got their own indoor amusement park in Atlanta Georgia. You can actually see a little of it in the opening credits to the Krofft Super Show. Honestly, I would have given my college fund to go there as a kid and I just realized, my family was in Atlanta in 1977, Aghhhhh! Anyway, this patch is one of the few souvenirs I’ve ever seen. I’m praying there is a Sleestak one.

Planet of the Apes Talking Viewmasters (eBay Link)- Confession time, I have never experienced talking view masters. My cousin had them but she didn’t have any batteries and she didn’t have any cool sets anyway. I think the coolest thing she owned was Caspar. I want this set badly.

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Rocky Bubble Fun (eBay Link)- These toys didn’t sell well because the scene where Rocky blew bubbles at Apollo Creed’s funeral was deemed “Nonsensical” and “Insensitive” by the stuck-up test audiences.
