5 Awesome things on eBay this week

[RSS]

Japanese Big Jim- I don't know it is but I have this predilection for American toys in Japanese packaging, Big Ken (he got a name change) is no exception, just something so cool about those characters.

Space Warrior Pencil Tops- Gah! I love Copyright infringement, especially when they mix properties like this, it's the Eagle from Space:1999 mincing with the Shogun Warriors and R2-D2. Who didn't love stuff like this as a kid?

Wonder Woman Sunglasses by Nasta- I love the gorgeous 1980s card artwork on this and kudos to Nasta to making the emblem so prominent.

Star Trek AstroTank by Remco- I've been obsessed with the late 1960s Star Trek toys by Remco since i was a teen, they have nothing to do with the show in way, shape or form but dammit Jim! I love them.

Bionic Woman Beach Towel- I really want to collect beach towels but i have no idea how to display them, they're wonderful however and as per the example above, rather reasonable all things considered.

I recall having quite a few of the space warriors type pencil toppers as a kid. Shoguns versus R2 , So awesome indeed.

I remember being deeply puzzled by the Remco Star Trek stuff as a kid. I was plagued by the suspicion that there were a bunch of Star Trek episodes I hadn't seen, in which Mr. Spock wore the Astro Helmet and Scotty drove the Astro Tank...

Cindy and I visited a Toys R' Us that was closing in 1998 or so. A pair of those Super Powers Wonder Woman sunglasses were still on the shelf, for less than a buck! Needless to say, she bough them.
