Spanish Frankenstein Game (eBay Link) –

I know little about this but I love it and want it to adopt me.

A complete set of Tonka Steel Monsters (eBay Link) –

While I was a teen at the time, I totally coveted this obscure 80s toyline. It’s basically Mad Max without the name, so EVERY Italian rip-off rolled into one. You get all the stereotypes, Mohawk Guy, Warrior Princess and of course, Metal Face. The only figure Tonka should have added was Fred Williamson. Did I mention that after two years, I finally finished my set? I would have jumped on this otherwise.

Japanese Time of the Apes Figures (eBay Link) –

For those who don’t watch MST3k, Time of the Apes is Japan’s total rip-off of you guessed it, Planet of the Apes. I adore this show, especially the ape fashion on the show. I’ve never been able to follow the TV Movie.

Buck Rogers Paint by Numbers Set (eBay Link) –

The title says it all, painting of Buck freaking Rogers, that’s high art.

Mechanical Store Display Elf (eBay Link) –

I’m not much of a Christmas type, but I love store window robots. Maybe it’s because they’re slightly creepy, or just seeing them as a kid. Perhaps it’s a mix of both, but I totally want this.
