5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- homemade Muppets, Cheap Ninjas, Boo-Berry, Spidey and it’s Underwear Clobbering Time? ( legalese: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated) Hand painted Muppet Figurines (eBay affiliate link) — All these years, I’ve obsessed over hobby kits like these, never realizing the charm of the […]
Spider-Man and Captain America Richochet Racers (eBay Link) — I’ve never owned these toys but have always been obsessed with them since I saw them at my friend Richard’s House. None of it makes sense and none of it has to, I always loved the comic book ad for this, it also makes zero […]
5 Awesome Things on eBay this week Battlestar Galactica Vertibird (eBay Link) — Okay, so technically, this isn’t a Battlestar Galactica toy, but it totally is. Mattel pulled a little label-slap action (something that is VERY Mattel) swapping BSG (which I assume aired in Italy?) with the very popular Mazinga Z television series. Such “nobody […]
Toy-Ventures returns with a look at the Super Hero Utility belts produced by Remco and me reuniting with my childhood bat belt.

Fantastic Four Water Pistol (eBay Link) — France’s Pin Pin Toys carried a ton of products from Mego and AHI but also made their own products like this pretty non-descript water gun. The Fantastic Four are huge in France and well, that seems totally deserved. Spider-Man Sticker Book from France (eBay Link) […]
This little guy magically arrived yesterday and it became my first toy opening of 2024. Behold the mini Godaiken of Leopardon, the giant robot from the Amazing Japanese television adaptation of Spider-Man. These appeared when I was in high school, and I immediately recognized them as Shogun Warriors. Shoguns were an unrequited toy love […]
We’re not ones to dwell on the passage of time (and let’s face it, no one wants that shock to the system) but it IS hard to believe that it’s now been 60 years since two schoolteachers went to that junkyard for the trip of a lifetime, and Doctor Who began. Luckily, according to the […]
Rod Hull Emu Game (eBay Link) — My wife has a childhood phobia over Rod Hull’s Emu. I always liked his routine but I also see how it would creep out a kid. I plan to buy this game to hopefully have one of those “Maury Povich” moments where I chase her around with it. […]
