Original Mattel Pulsar commercial Reel (eBay Link)\ Normally I’d buy this piece of history and transfer it but it’s been a pricey week and I’ve already bought three reels. The seller also has the Kenner Maskatron commercial reel as well. Mego Elastic Superman (eBay link)– I think these things are both dumb and awesome. I […]
