RARE Vintage Amusement Ride Flying Butterfly Bug Insect

Vintage Amusement Park Ride Car (sponsored link) ––

I don’t know where I would put it, but I’d love to wake up and see something from a carnival every day. I don’t think I’ve ever not been happy to see one. 

Arco Space Target Set (sponsored link) —

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to compile all the discount Darth Vaders and Storm Troopers we got from 77 until….I guess now.

Inflatable Vending Machine Monsters (Sponsored link)—

The seller has a couple of these; the imaginative monster designs are so emblematic of the era. 

The Avengers Emma Peel Doll by Fairylight (sponsored link) ––

This is a pretty incredible lot of Fairylight Emma Peel dolls, and these are the subject of a great article in Toy-Ventures Issue 5, coincidentally, written by the seller. 

Martian Chronicles Poster (sponsored link) —

I have always been fond of the Martian Chronicles TV mini series; although it’s slow at times and some effects are not dazzling, it still does justice to many of the tales. The primary reason I like this series is its sense of style, and this poster really showcases that. I’ve wanted it for decades, but I’d either have to take down a poster or build a new house.

Bootleg Godzilla Bubble Store Display (sponsored link) —

It’s a bit out of my price range, but I do love the style of this Zilla, and the adorable widdle top hat is only helping to enhance his appeal.

AHI Spider-Man Swim vest (sponsored link) —

As a kid, seeing Spider-Man hawking swim stuff instead of I dunno, Aquaman or Submariner, used to get on my nerves. However, I also stopped mixing my Marvel and DC megos at a certain age because of comic continuity. This may be a “me” problem.

Superman the Movie Poster Art set (sponsored link) —

I’ve got Superman on the brain this week, but honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this set before. The packaging really pops, and I would have been all over this in 1978, and look, more than four markers.

Tol Toys “Star Trek” Set from Australia (sponsored link) —

This toy from Australia is quite curious; it has no connection to the TV series at all. It probably flew right under Paramount’s radar at the time. Also, I like the Aliens.

Robby the Robot Knock Off Vending Machine Toy (sponsored link)—

My friend Courtney sent me this, and it’s the kind of stuff I obsess about. These kinds of toys come into our lives and then after a lunchtime, poof! There was no brand name, no company, no nothing.  Tracking down stuff like this will bring you close to madness.  It’s amazing that these kinds of things survived.

Filmation Flash Gordon Shrinky Dinks (sponsored link) —

This is actually from a large lot of FG items but I chose to zero in on these awesome Shrinky Dinks, which I believe were a cereal promotion. I love that these are clearly based on the Filmation designs, although Dale is a bit off-model. 

Vending Machine Spacemen, Aliens and Robots (sponsored link) —

This kind of stuff had me parting with a quarter without a single thought. It would still happen today!

Dr Shrinker Magnifying Glass (sponsored link) —

Man, the Krofft Super Show was on fire the year it had Dr. Shrinker, Wunderbug and Electra Woman, that truly was “Must See TV” for me as a kid. Harmony made two rack toys based on the series, and they’re both better than most rack toys, at least in the logic department. 

Insect Kingdom store display (sponsored link) —

If I somehow made it past the vending machine as a kid (see above) this would be my next challenge in losing a quarter.

5 different generic Space Figure cases (sponsored link) —

I love all the fake Darth Vaders and  Temu Brand Shogun Warriors on these things, they all deserve their own figure lines and cinematic universe. 

The Lincoln Monsters are here!
