\"Mattel<\/a><\/p>\n

Mattel Rodan figure (eBay Link)<\/a> I cannot begin to tell you how this toy shaped me as a collector. The first one I had was over my dresser as a teenager; it had sunglasses on and a cigarette in its mouth. I sold him in college, and it broke my heart. I bought a boxed one but it didn’t feel right; now my third (loose) Rodan sits above my desk again. He quit smoking, so did I. I’m super glad to have him loom over me as I work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

Weird Robot Vending Machine (eBay Link)<\/a> -Who doesn’t love bizarre novelty vending machines? When I was a kid, my dad owned a chicken that gave you a prize egg. This robot gives me a “Rick and Morty” vibe for some reason, maybe it’s his face but I think he’s fantastic. If I had the money, Zoro would be my new friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"vintage<\/a><\/p>\n

Vintage Alien Monster Bobble Head (eBay Link)<\/a>– I have no idea what this is but its resemblance to the Creature from the Black Lagoon is all I need, I love it. I’m all in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"spiral<\/a><\/p>\n

Bandai Spiral Zone Set (eBay Link)<\/a>– A lot of folks are familiar with the Tonka Spiral Zone but the original Japanese version is way cooler and better detailed. It’s one of many 80s toy lines where it’s people in Mech suits but I honestly think it’s the best. I just can’t afford it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Whacky<\/a><\/p>\n

Whacky Packs Patches (eBay Link)-<\/a> These things are probably unlicensed but how awesome are they. Whacky packages were the thing I HAD TO FREAKING HAVE when I was a kid. I’m also proud that my kid’s bedrooms were littered with these things.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
