5 Awesome Things on eBay this week: Dempsey & Makepeace, Saucy iron-ons, Biotron, Whacky Packages and my Black Lagoon Creature Grail!<\/h3>\n

\"Don't<\/a><\/p>\n

Smutty “Don’t Squeeze the Charmin” iron-on Tee shirt (<\/a>Sponsored Link)<\/h3>\n

\nThese were the kinds of t-shirts that would make you and your friends giggle, flipping through those iron-on books. I miss those silly mall kiosks!\u00a0 I want to see a t-shirt made before me again.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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

Whacky Packages Patch (sponsored link)<\/a>–<\/strong>
\nAnother fun tongue twister for your collection. I always “just missed” Whacky Packs at stores and it’s all i think about when I see these.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Dempsey and Makepeace action figure set<\/a> (sponsored link)<\/h3>\n

I used to watch this UK action show on CHCH as a teen; I think it was syndicated. In the UK, the show was popular enough to warrant some O-Ring figures via Rainbow Toys. These kinds of discoveries, the foreign market exclusives, are one of the main reasons I got into toy collecting in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Vintage Japanese Microman Biotron vinyl <\/a>(sponsored link) –<\/h3>\n

This has been on my watchlist for the week. I don’t own an actual biotron, but I sure would like this smaller version. I think I’m going to wait for a loose one but….someday I will hold this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

AHI Creature from the Black Lagoon water gun (Sponsored link)<\/a>—
\nBe still my beating heart….<\/h3>\n

This is an item that I would love to own but likely will not unless I find one cheap or\u00a0 if that “Money Tree” I planted in 1977 finally springs up. AHI made a series of Rack Toy Squirt guns like this. I’m lucky enough to own the Frankenstein (my #1 monster) and the Planet of the Apes characters<\/a>, but there aren’t as many of these as there is demand.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lincoln Monsters Backer Kit Store<\/strong><\/a> is now open to the public. After the successful Kickstarter campaign (Thank You Again!), BackerKit is the next chance to get in on the Lincoln Horror Show.<\/p>\n
