5 awesome things on Ebay this week

[RSS]

Mego Dukes of Hazzard Figures with original Mego Mailer- I'm not big on Dukes myself but these two guys came directly from Mego to a consumer, maybe they were replacements for defective merchandise. I love toy history knick knacks like this.

Incredible Hulk Action Box- I've gone all these years not knowing what an "Action Box" was. This is

a gorgeous

bit of Rack Toy wonder made by Fleetwood, worth it just for the graphics alone. There is a Spider-Man one too!

Martian Chronicles Movie Poster- I don't know why there is a poster for the 1980 TV miniseries adaptation of "The Martian Chronicles" but I REALLY want it. Unfortunately, I've maxed out every wall in the house.

Ideal Electro-Man in a mailer box- I have a fondness for mailer boxed items, sure they lack the colourful impact that the store packaging had but have this sort of rustic charm themselves.

Play Family Castle in the box- Oh man, this one even has the original inserts. I doubt I ever become a hardcore FP little people collector but I know that I've got one inside of me.

Oh boy, I always enjoy reading these! IMO that castle is the best FP set from that era. Sadly, I never had one, but a neighbor kid did, and I loved playing with that thing!

Perhaps it played theatrically in the UK or somewhere? That often happened with US TV movies or mini-series.

Electroman is awesome! Love the concept.

Electroman is pretty cool, although I don't remember him.

I think so, too. I'd like to see a Mego Meet version--or even a new Mego Corp. version, perhaps with an updated helmet.

You need to check out his adversary, Zogg the Terrible!

Hulk looks like he's doing the Charleston or something! I love it!

Lots of love for the FP castle. I've told this story a million times, but my wife found a discarded one out for the trash on my Dad's street. Both my kids had hours of fun with it, and we never had a single figure or accessory that went with it!
