5 Awesome Things on eBay this week<\/p>\n

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

A 7 foot tall Gorilla from a Carnival Dark Ride (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

Even though I’ve never been to “Hunt’s Pier” or ridden on the “Jungleland Ride”, I want this. I’ve been obsessed with Dark rides since I was a kid and this would look amazing on my lawn. Although I haven’t given up on a Hamburglar statue either. In case you haven’t figured it out, I really don’t like my neighbourhood.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Beast Master Belt Buckle (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

Without hyperbole, this is the greatest belt buckle in the world. Probably until next week when I find a “Metalstorm Destruction of Jared Syn” buckle. Either way, I am Dar and my pants are being held up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Planet of the Apes Kite (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

As a Planet of the Apes junkie, I want certain items, but the logical (ie the “no fun”) part of my brain tells me are stupid to own. It’s strange how this part of my brain rationalizes a basement full of movie posters and toys I don’t play with is ok, but this kite is somehow crossing the line. That is however, my cross to bear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

70s Star Trek Iron-On Patch (eBay Link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

I have no idea if this is an officially licensed Star Trek item or a knock-off. Even the enterprise being upside down is no indication, Paramount licensing at that time was sort of like when you’re mom’s younger brother babysat you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Marvel Superheroes by Gulliver (eBay Link)<\/a> –<\/h3>\n

Gulliver is a Brazillian company that has made some super cool toys, actually, Brazil seems to sit in my “top 5” coolest foreign toy countries in good company with Japan, Italy, the UK and Mexico. These are basically “army man” style figures of the Marvel superheroes, and they’re amazing. You can also find them painted.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
