Space Flyman and Punchboy set (eBay Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\r\nThis Dynamic Duo is one of the earliest pair of Knock-Off<\/a> Action figures but probably the earliest Super Hero Knock-Offs<\/a> as well. The backer card of course, is famous for how Space Flyman “beats off” his enemies and trust me, I lean on that comedy crutch a whole bunch. BTW, we’ve made a cool Punch Boy collector pin<\/a> designed by the awesome Chris Franklin.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Dr<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n

Awesome Spectre Man “Dr Gori” Vinyl (eBay Link)\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\r\nMy obsession with Spectreman’s nemesis is probably not well known but yeah, he’s like Dr. Zaius but with this sort of “Hipster Energy” that I totally just can’t help but cower to. He’s cooler than me, and it’s giving me a crisis!<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI got to tell Mel Welles (the voice of Dr. Gori) about my appreciation for this character in the 1990s; he mumbled “kids” and rolled his eyes. PRAISE FROM CAESAR? I dunno, I felt validated for weird Gen-X latchkey kids everywhere.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Palitoy<\/a>\r\n

Palitoy Talking k-9 (eBay Link)-<\/a>–<\/h3>\r\nYou know after 40 years of collecting, I can’t say I’ve ever been in the same room as one of these. The Dalek from this series was the first vintage toy I ever done bought.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"70s<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n

70s Star Trek String Art (eBay Link) –<\/a>–<\/h3>\r\nTo quote Mr. Burns, “I don’t know art but I know what I hate” and I LOVE THE LIVING HELL OUTTA THIS.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Fonzie<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n

Fonzie for President Pajama top (eBay Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\r\nYou know, this week it freaked me out that Fonzie is the same age as my dad, who is also weirdly younger than Mick Jagger. Right now, I would appreciate a world leader who holds all his meetings in a Burger King bathroom just like the Digital Underground.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Toy<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nClick Here for past installments of 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week<\/a>\r\n\r\n
