Superheroes ROTRADRAW set (eBay Link)

I’ve never heard of the Rota Draw sets before but after seeing one of these on Instagram, I became smitten. I can’t imagine it worked well but there is a certain hypnotic quality to that DC Comics stock artwork.  

Souvenir pillow from the World of Sid and Marty Krofft (eBay Link)

I am forever haunted by the fact that I never got to visit the amusement park headed by the Kroffts. I was such a fan of their work and I cannot believe the memorabilia that the park generated during their short tenure.  

Grape Ape String Art kit (eBay Link) —

Although I can’t really answer any follow-up questions about it, I was fond of this cartoon when I was six. I think it would brighten any kitchen or Rumpus room.  

Dynomutt Picture Frame (eBay Link) —

  I’ve actually owned one or two of these novelty frames before; this one makes me laugh because, as a kid, I loved Blue Falcon and wanted Dyno-Mutt to die in a fire. So I’ve got some mixed emotions.    

BugMen of Insecta Figure (eBay Link) —

These toys popped up when I was in the 9th grade and while I’ve never owned one, they always felt kindred, like I would gone mental for them as a kid. Maybe it’s the rather Rack Toy nature of them, maybe it’s the horror elements but yeah, I’ve been a fan from afar….

Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link) —

This Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs as well. The backer card of course, is famous for how Space Flyman “beats off” his enemies and trust me, I lean on that comedy crutch a whole bunch. BTW, we’ve made a cool Punch Boy collector pin designed by the awesome Chris Franklin.

Awesome Spectre Man “Dr Gori” Vinyl (eBay Link) 

My obsession with Spectreman’s nemesis is probably not well known but yeah, he’s like Dr. Zaius but with this sort of “Hipster Energy” that I totally just can’t help but cower to. He’s cooler than me, and it’s giving me a crisis!

I got to tell Mel Welles (the voice of Dr. Gori) about my appreciation for this character in the 1990s; he mumbled “kids” and rolled his eyes. PRAISE FROM CAESAR? I dunno, I felt validated for weird Gen-X latchkey kids everywhere. 

Palitoy Talking k-9 (eBay Link)-–

You know after 40 years of collecting, I can’t say I’ve ever been in the same room as one of these. The Dalek from this series was the first vintage toy I ever done bought.  

70s Star Trek String Art (eBay Link) ––

To quote Mr. Burns, “I don’t know art but I know what I hate” and I LOVE THE LIVING HELL OUTTA THIS.  

Fonzie for President Pajama top (eBay Link) —

You know, this week it freaked me out that Fonzie is the same age as my dad, who is also weirdly younger than Mick Jagger. Right now, I would appreciate a world leader who holds all his meetings in a Burger King bathroom just like the Digital Underground.

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

Kenner Bionic Woman Designer Dresses (eBay Link) —

Catalogue mailer items are one of those things I admire, and as a toy collector, I feel they add a charm to everything. I don’t collect Bionic Woman, but I think this set is unique. yes, I know water stains are gross; I get it, but it’s a cool one-of-a-kind item, and I can see past that.

Remco “The Bad Guys” Chopper (eBay Link) —

Remco was good at sneaking into a kid’s toy box. It wasn’t GI Joe, but it felt close, and there is no way your mom could tell Cobra from the Bad Guys logo. No, I won’t believe you had a “SUPERMOM” that could do that. If so, deep envy, mad respect. I hate you.

Batman String Art (eBay link) 

Remember a couple of weeks back when I threatened an “All Batman Crafting” installment? Yeah, I was not kidding. String Art seems to have dipped severely since the middle 1970s but it sure did peak. I love stuff like this and I also love how the box design is lazy but also letting the character art sell it.

Lone Ranger Carson City Playset (eBay Link) —

I don’t collect the fantastic Gabriel Lone Ranger toy line but I do admire the care in which it was made. Just look at this gorgeous thing, it’s huge too! 

Dune Panini Stickers and album (eBay link) –

Imagine the lucky kid who got the “boil scraping” sticker, which I assume was gold foil or the hologram sticker of a heart plug being pulled out. Hooo doggie, Dune was not understood by it’s licensors.
