    5 Awesome things on Ebay this week


    A piece of the StarLost- "The Starlost" was this Canadian Science Fiction show that Harlan Ellison created (and violently disowned, go figure), it's all shot on videotape and well, it looks like a Doctor Who where not much happens. They played this show a bajillion times thanks to "CanCon" laws (a certain segment of your broadcast day had to be produced in Canada) so I've seen every episode a bunch.

    The most impressive thing about the show is the ship it's based on and this is a piece of it! I'm seriously considering buying this. I just don't know how yet.


    Hombre Invisible- In Mexico they did really cool and innovative things with Big Jim dolls like making him Bionic or in this case, invisible. It's a simple little trick but it adds mounds of play value, I love toys like this.



    Durham's Soaring Spider-Man Plane- I realize Spider-Man of all people didn't have and couldn't fly a plane but LOOK AT THAT BOX ART! PRETTY!

    The Blue Knight Police Patrol Car by Larami- I always get amused when I see the plethora of items Larami made for this (totally forgotten) TV series . It's like they had a meeting and said "Kid's love George Kennedy, let's double up on that!"




    A whole mess of Shinsei UFO Commander Vehicles- I was fascinated by weird toys with no back story like this as a kid, I know as an adult they were just repackaged Japanese items (to be frank I suspected it then) and I view it as one of the more interesting things about growing up when i did. As a kid, I swore I'd solve mysteries like this and well, I'm sitting in a room full of toys typing away about them 40 years later....

    That Hombre Invisible is awesome! The Spider-Man Plane is really neat, as well. I feel like I’ve seen it before or something very similar.

    Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you read?

      Man, I've wanted an Hombre Invisible for years, great figure!

      Every time I hear about something like Starlost and have absolutely no idea what it is makes me realize that I watched very little Canadian TV as a kid compared to the rest of you canucks.

        What is it about George Kennedy that always makes me laugh? He’s like a big teddy bear trying to be taken seriously.

          George Kennedy. Watched him in RiffTrax's Nightmare at Noon.

          Star Mites. I bought some of those a few years ago. Pretty cool toys.
          I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.
