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

Ben Cooper Lost in Space Halloween Costume (eBay link)<\/a><\/h3>\n

My buddy Matt sent me this earlier in the week, saying he was pretty tempted. I’m not sure what the greater appeal is for me, Lost in Space itself or that mid-century look.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

HR Pufnstuff Witchie Poo Doll (eBay Link) <\/a>–<\/h3>\n

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, being scared by the boat in the movie or the fact that I’d never heard of these dolls before. They’re amazing!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonus Click the seller had a ton of other cool Krofft merch for sale, some of it obscure, so check it out here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

American Man Doll by Janex (eBay Link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

The first time I saw one of these, I thought it was a joke. It turns out it’s real; Janex took all the elements of an action figure save for one thing. It was a piece of cardboard with a weird head that looks the kid from “Davey and Goliath” with a beard. Did Davey go to Viet-Nam?\u00a0 WHO WAS THIS FOR? AGGGHHHHHHH!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

1935 Universal Magazine featuring Bride of Frankenstein centerfold (eBay Link)<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

I think I came to grips with not owning an original Universal Monsters Poster sometime in my mid-twenties. This magazine produced by Universal has an amazing spread for “Bride of Frankenstein” (I’m not alone in thinking the bride is cute right?) is a budget friendly version that is super neat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

MadelMan Superman set (eBay Link) <\/a>–<\/h3>\n

OK, Madelman is a legendary series of Spanish action figures spanned decades and genres. Somehow, they got the Superman movie license and made a series of toys like a Jeep and a Helicopter because Superman! Anyway, this figure is awesome for many reasons, my main reason being it looks like the Turkish rip-off of Superman (seek it out<\/a>) and also, I clunky stuff!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
