5 Awesome things on eBay this week

[RSS]

Ideal Monster Squad Prototypes- My week started with a friend sending me this link and then that repeated for the next 24 hours with all sorts of "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS??????" type emails. I guess anyone who knows me, knows that I completely adore the 1976 Monster Squad television series and these would be important to me.

These figures will haunt me but currently, I'm unemployed and honestly, I am still in some sort of shock that they exist. To me, they look like the catalog prototypes and it's just so wonderful to know they survived, I'm zen with whoever gets these but I sincerely hope I'm friends with them.

Large Collection Vintage 1966-70s Hai Karate Iced Cologne After Shave Jade East- Often joked about on this blog "Hai Karate" is the ultimate smell of 1970s based smells, sorry London Fog. This is the motherlode of female attention folks, I don't think you're ready for it. Forget I mentioned it. You won't be able to handle it.

Jaws 2 Promotional Cup- Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the dishwasher. Actually, you shouldn't put this in a dish washer, more of "hand wash" kinda thing....

Bionic Banks- These are just all kinds of awesome, I should own these.

Japanese Gerry Anderson UFO book and record set- It's just like Power Records, except you can't understand a word, unless you're Japanese. Ok I admit it's flawed but it's also awesome, I already own one or I'd be all over this.

The Monster Squad figures is that kind of thing that gets me thinking what more might we find? Plus, where are those Kids from CAPER?

I love when you find these Japanese Gerry Anderson items.

Cologne does have a shelf life. It's gonna be pretty rank at this point.

Now, the Monster Squad figures are wicked!

It's kind of amazing how the sculptors on those banks managed to capture Majors and Wagner's likenesses in such a simple way. If you saw a headshot of them, you'd know instantly who they were supposed to be.

Those Monster Squad figures are wonderful. I really only know the show vicariously through you, but the likeness is there as well, in a very fun and playful way.

Hai Karate may go bad, but my parents and grandparents had bottles and bottles of Avon cologne (my mother sold Avon, so everyone in the family "collected" the bottles), and most of it still smells the same, 40 plus years later.

It looks that way to me, it makes sense considering these are from Ideal. What a great, unexpected find!
