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

 <\/p>\n

Batman Crazy Foam (eBay Link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

I was obsessed with Crazy Foam as a kid, still am. I am just glad I don’t have a fetish where people in superhero costumes puke on me. That would be messy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mexican<\/a>

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

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

I have zero idea what kind of music this is or if I would like it, but who cares? It’s got biker apes on the cover. SOLD!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sesame<\/a>
\nSesame Street Black Velvet (eBay Link)-\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

These make me giddy, my face looks like Cookie Monsters right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Durham<\/a>
\nDurham Star Mission Robot (ebay link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

Durham Industries produced a lot of licensed toys but they also liked to knock off other toys. This is a total copy of the Tomy Rascal Robots<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>
\nStar Mite Laser Pistol (eBay Link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

Star Mites was a brand created by Empire Toys<\/a> that even included some diecasts from Shinsei. This package with its discount Martin Landau warms the cockles of my heart.<\/strong><\/p>\n
