5 Awesome thing on Ebay this week

[RSS]

Aquaman Sea Sled- The world's most logical Aquaman licensed toy ever. This is glorious and I want it.

Amsco Space:1999 Playset- Oh my God, it's sealed and wonderful. The big trouble is I'd want to unseal it and play with it. AGHHHH!

Captain American TeamAmerica Cycle- I used to dig the Marvel Team America comix (I know!) and this teaming up of the brands is most welcome.

Battle of the Planets Princess Mask- This is terrifying and weirdly appealing.

Doc Savage Statue autographed by Ron Ely- I had one of these amazing pieces in high school but sold it in college. It is one of the two pieces of merchandise this underrated and much-loved movie (by me!) got and I want it back. I wish my name was John.

Like I said I so want the Aqua-Sled buy it is out of my budget

I would also love to get that Doc Savage book if it wasn't personally autographed...

For the money, I think you gotta go Princess mask.

How can you not love the Aqua-sled.

Captain America's motorcycle is his next most iconic possession after his shield. It's so natural and indelible to the character. I don't know the history of when he first started riding, but I have to wonder if Easy Rider had an influence on it.

The Aqua-sled is charming and Oh, Lord I want that Doc Savage statuette.

[thunderbolt]

looks like grade school Bruce Lee riding the Sea Sled

Joyful madness = opening the fresh cardboard of Amsco! Do it; you'll have zero regret!

I had completely forgotten about Team America.
I loved those comics back in the day.
Had the whole run.

Long gone now though.

The Aqua-sled is awesome. Love the Filmation-like art on it, in the Super Friends era.

I searched and searched for that Captain America Team America set. I saw it advertised on the back of a comic that came with the Dune Buggy if memory serves. The Team America characters first appeared in a Cap comic, so it makes perfect sense.

I'm not sure when Cap first rode a motorcycle, but the Reb Brown movies cemented it as a pretty important part of the mythos. Even the MCU couldn't deny it!

I had a Captain America Motorcycle (at least I have the memory of one) that was a cafe racer type bike. It would have had to have been purchased before 1976. I remember the hands were made where the thumb and index fingers formed an "O" that slid easily onto the handle bars. I have never been able to find proof it actually existed outside of my memory. Does anyone else remember an earlier version of Cap on a Motorcycle?

The chopper type bike for this toy looks a lot like the Evel Knievel Chopper, but I am assuming this is a much smaller scale (?).

^There's the Buddy L Cap on Motorcycle. It's from the same line as the Spider-Man one, and the later Secret Wars versions of several Marvel Characters.

my friend has the space 1999 set opened .i love doc savage did not know their was merch for it

[Mr.Marion]

The Aquaman sled and amsco Space 1999 are tough to beat.

I'm a known hater of the 1975 Doc Savage movie, although I will say Ron Ely was not the problem with that film.
