5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

[RSS]

Superhero Cake Toppers from the mid 1970s- I've had a couple of sets of these guys and they still go for $5 each. I don't think they're licensed but there is something so lovable about them, especially since they look like they've had enough cake.

Presto Magix Empire Strikes Back Store Display- I won't lie, this sends me to fifth grade and I like it there. Presto Magix are my jam and these were fun. I want this.

Superhero Fridge Magnets- I have these all over my fridge, they're childhood, pure childhood to me. This lot is kind of expensive but they do pop up reasonable.

Dark Shadows Magic Slate- While this is rare as heck, this has been on eBay for a long time because I don't think the seller really wants to part with it. I'm a sucker for Barnabus Collins merchandise, I don't expect anyone I know to hit the buy it now but man it's kind of cool.

Mr Spock Bop Bag- Don't hit Spock, he's scary strong and totally flips out if you mention his mom. I have one of these, if I could get it back in the box it could be your for half this price.


BONUS AUCTION:

Mego Sleestak Custom- As readers of this blog know, I loves me some Sleestaks and this figure by Rachel makes me smile. BUY IT!

I had the rubbery set of the DC cake toppers as a kid, and I think they actually came from a birthday cake I had. There was a dog thrown in with them too, and as a kid, I assumed it was Krypto, although he had no cape, and had some gray on the top of his body.

Only Captain Marvel survived from my childhood set, but I got a rubbery Robin SOMEWHERE along the way (I literally have no idea where he came from, or when) and I do have a set like you showed above.

I have a few of the magnets, but would love to have that Kirby Cap one!

I look forward to this feature every week. Thanks as always for doing this!

I have a bunch of the Empire Prestos. There was major unsold stock on those in the 80s and 90s. Great, great fun.

You make me want to cry with the magnets. I wish someone would reproduce them. Does key art of this nature even exist for modern characters these days?

I have to accept that these are something I will never own.

Love love love the superhero magnets but that lot is crazy expensive or else the price of them have jumped since I bought mine

[Bruce Banner]

Would love to complete my collection of Super Hero magnets. Still only have four of them after all these decades!
The Empire Presto Magix sure bring back great memories.

I love the magnets, although I think I'm short on some of the Marvel ones in my collection.
