5 Awesome Things On Ebay this week

Japanese bootleg Parachuting King Kong Figures Store Display- This literally is the greatest sentence I've ever typed, I should buy this, it hits every button in my beer-soaked brain. I know I should but I'm being difficult.

TV commerical reel for the Kenner Fembot figure- Commercial reels are a real soft spot with me and I would love to own this one for the Kenner Bionic Woman Fembot doll.

Fleetwood Toys SWAT set- I've never seen this little rack toy gem before, I am a sucker for army men figures and these SWAT guys look really nice.

Original press proof for the Mego Wizard of Oz Playset- I'm not really big on the Mego Wizard of Oz line personally but I do love little pieces of toy history and folks, this is probably the only one you'll ever see.

A store display of Kamen Rider Yo-Yo's- I don't what I would do with this but it's gorgeous, would display well and the seller has recently been robbed and deserves a break.

Is that a 16mm reel for the Fembot? How does the color usually hold out on those? I used to dabble in trading films and shorts a couple of decades ago and non-safety prints were like vinegar time bombs.

There must be a deleted scene from King Kong I didn't know about. It would seem he had a parachute after he was shot.

So, are their international soldiers included in this Kong parachute set...or is this the League of Parachuting Kong Nations?

The Munchkinland playset has some of the nicest artwork Mego produced. Great likenesses of the cast there, but I honestly never noticed it until looking at this proof!
