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

Batman Letraset set (eBay Link) <\/a>—<\/h3>\n

Letraset is, to me, the superior version of Presto Magix; it’s just magical. My dream is to own someday or reproduce the Doctor Who set<\/a> without the BBC hunting me down and killing me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Evel Knievel Kid Cycle (eBay Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\n

I wonder how many kids tried to jump stuff on the least aerodynamic vehicle every made? I’m guessing 100 bajillion or possibly more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Planet of the Apes Periscope (eBay Link)-<\/a>—<\/h3>\n

As a love of all things Apes, I struggle with such paraphernalia. It’s gorgeous in its own right, but I must have boundaries…<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

J.J. Armes and his interchangeable Bio-Kinetic Hands (eBay Link<\/a>)–<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man alive, I remember seeing the commercial on Saturday Morning just before my family hit the Woolco that afternoon. All I had on my mind was getting that sweet J.J Armes doll but it wasn’t there. Years later I’d find out this was based on a (still alive!) real guy,<\/a> which just added layers to it all.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Clawtron-<\/a><\/p>\n

Carded Fisher Price Adventure People Clawtron (eBay Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\n

If you haven’t watched the latest episode of Toy Talk Show,<\/a> the Clawtron and the Fisher Price Adventure People are highly influential and even though this card is knackered, it doesn’t matter. Enjoy an awesome toy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
