Slam Bam Diesels (eBay Link)–

I do not recall this toy line, which brilliantly merges Smash Up Derby with RC cars. I will, however, be stealing “Slam Bam Diesels” should I ever form a dad garage band.

Batman Stained Glass Kit (eBay Link) —

I could do a “5 Awesome Batman crafts on eBay this week” in a snap. Call me a crabby old pee-paw, but I like my Batman blue with a grey suit. That was good enough for my dad, and it’s good enough for me. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go buy some wurthers for my cardigan pockets.

Child Guidance Muppet Minatures (eBay Link)-

PVC muppet figures with a l’il cardboard Sesame Street? I’m so in. If there’s another set with Roosevelt Franklin, I will Plotz. At least, I think I will; I may not properly understand what “Plotzing” is all about.

Six Million Dollar Man Fabric (eBay Link) —

I wish to create a robe out of this I can wear in public; my sceptre will have Maskatron’s head on it. 

Six Cans of Billy Beer (eBay Link) —

Sadly, these are empty, but that’s probably for the best, although I heard it was not bad.  A lot better than that Roger Clinton Zima amiright?

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

SSP stood for “Super Sonic Power” and it was one of Kenner’s flagship brands in the 1970s, mostly because of the popularity of “Smash-Up Derby” a toy that combined boys love of cars with their desire to wreck stuff (Genius).

1978 saw a lot of goodness with the introduction of Monsters, Vans and Star Wars to the line, such a cool brew of fun.

Kenner’s SSP Star Wars vans were a great example of a label slap, where you decal an existing toy with a license. This was probably due to Kenner wanting to get as much Star Wars merch out as possible at the time. The Drag Race of the Galaxy set does look pretty bad ass. I wonder if anybody has a real van that looks like these? That has to exist right?

Kenner SSP Smash Up Derby was an ever-green toy for the company, these junk yard cars got redecorated every so often but were insanely popular when I was growing up. Heck, I had a set, which wasn’t much fun when you don’t have a sibling close in age.

Aw yeah, the 1970s were ALL ABOUT Van culture, which I sorely miss. These things look amazing, I especially love the Jaws-inspired shark.

These Monster SSP cars are amazing, each came with a T-Shirt Iron-On too, just because it was 1978. I don’t collect cars but I’d love that Frankenstein and excuse but doesn’t the Gargoyle look like a certain someone from the black lagoon?

We have a new book out called “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” it’s a 132-page tribute to bootleg toys.
