Our Ways Studios Marvel Comics Stickers (sponsored link) ––

These things will always stop me in my tracks with their wonderful power. Even though I never could finish a Conan comic, my Marvel Universe includes him. I’m a product of my time.

Mummy Flashlight (sponsored link) —

This appears to be a little out of my collecting date range but that Mummy is so reminiscent of later Hammer stuff, it strikes a nerve.

Wonder Woman Roller Skates (sponsored link) —

When I did my Fan Expo panels about weird Superhero merchandise with my pal Sam Noir, I would always get a big laugh out of these and sadly, more Wonder Woman merchandise. In hindsight, honestly, nobody looked good in these Larami Rollerskates, and Wonder Woman isn’t even the worst one.

Imperial Toys Congo Gorilla (sponsored link) —

I love this toy but normally these were sold tagged and not carded, so I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it before like this.

Aviva Star Trek The Motion Picture Water Pistol (sponsored link) —

A friend of mine brought me a couple of these from a vacation in the 80s, yes we still talk. Next to the Mego line this is one of my favourite pieces from the motion picture, it’s crazy faithful for a cheap toy. I just wish they’d have used them more in the movie!

Darth Vader/General Urko Bootleg Mashup (sponsored link) –

There is just such magic to cheap bootleg items that do mash-ups before we even knew what that was. I want this crappy thing more than air but I fall in love every week with something.

CB Lingo Jewellery- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

CB Lingo Jewellery (sponsored link) —

I vividly remember the CB fad, and it’s one of those things I’m amazed by. The plethora of merchandise likely landed just as the fad lost momentum had to be insane. However, this would have been killer irony wear for me in the 1990s. The ladies at the Orange Snail would have been all over me.

Ultraman water pistol (sponsored link) —

I featured this in Rack Toys because it’s such a fun piece, and I love Ultra-Man like a sibling. However, I’ve since lost the arms. It’s also so weird to add articulation to a water pistol….

Mr. Spock Carnival Mirror (sponsored link)

I’ve been able to resist carnival mirrors in my collecting but dang this one is slick as hell. Also, if you ever want a cheap laugh, type in “Mirror” in Facebook Marketplace and enjoy the photos of people’s messy homes.

Inflatable Pepsi Frankenstein (sponsored) —

All he wanted a Pepsi and Doctor Frankenstein wouldn’t give it to him. Did I post this to make that Suicidal Tendencies joke? No, I just chose that over the obvious Nick Cage joke. You can’t unsee it, you are very welcome.

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

Dr Shrinker Halloween Costume– I really want this, nobody bid on this k? Also remind me when it’s about to end?

Knock Off Water Pistol– Not only am I getting ROM Spaceknight vibes off the guy on the header card but that’s a recycled AHI Hulk watergun, this thing is full of easter eggs.

Superman Latch Hook Kit– It was called “Rug Hooking” where I lived but man, even I caught this fever back in 1978. I would have been all over this, inspired by the movie, I attempted to make my own of the S Shield. I did not complete it.

Skatebirds Board Game- Growing up I loved the Robotic Stooges and Danger Island Segments of the Skatebirds but I honestly don’t remember the birds themselves, I find that so weird. I had no idea there was merch of any kind!

Buck Rogers Bubb-a-loons- If you ever played with this as a kid, even briefly, you’re currently remembering that smell. You’re welcome.

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #1 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.

The post Squirt gun fever appeared first on PS.

These Phaser water guns just rocked, they were too small but so was your hand back in the day.

Mr Spock was a huge sky diver, you didn’t know that?

As was Captain Kirk apparently, I don’t think I’ve seen a Kirk Parachuter since I was a kid.

This saucer gun is another cool way to get a Phaser toy onto shelves, AHI really knew that kids loved Sci Fi hardware…

Soaring enterprise, I think the thing I love the most about these products is not one thing has the same package, you won’t find that today.
