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

Atomic Man outfit set (eBay Affiliate Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\n

For that brief window of time when Mike Power Atomic Man beat the officially licensed Kenner Bionic Man toys to market, Hasbro tried to pump up sales by rebranding some classic Joe outfits. This set, which will be expensive, is particularly troubling to me. As a kid I was obsessed with scuba diving, and this was, by far, the single most excellent toy I owned in kindergarton. I can’t afford this, can’t justify the expense but will watch it to the bitter end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Gandalf Black Velvet portrait (affiliate Link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\n

Wizards are most at home in Black Velvet paintings and on the sides of cool vans. It’s a proven fact.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Battlestar Galactica Cape (affiliate link)<\/a> —<\/h3>\n

I know the Galactica Warriors actually did have capes, but it wasn’t made of “onesie” material.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Vintage kid’s Dr Zaius Shirt (eBay Affiliate Link)<\/a> —<\/p>\n

This is something I don’t see very often: a vintage Dr. Zaius shirt from 1974; as a kid, my dad drove the “Crazy David” van. So I grew up wearing stuff like this and it’s tough to pass this one up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Batman Light Switch Covers (affiliate Link)\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

I think these were made by Monogram (the model kit people), and they are a cousin to those awesome kitchen magnets. I used to have the Superman version of these. These are another item that straight sends me back to kindergarton; wow, this week has a theme, and I didn’t even notice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BONUS AWESOME THING!<\/h3>\n

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

Imperial Toys Jaws Souviener (eBay Affiliate Link) –<\/a>–<\/h3>\n

I’m gathering this PVC Jaws was sold at Universal Studios, but it was made by Imperial Toys, who wisely had the license for Jaws merch<\/a> in the middle seventies. Jaws the Movie and Jaws the Ride are both equally beloved by me, and I want this too.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
