Mattel Tarzan - 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Mattel Tarzan figure set (Sponsored Link) —

I think this may be one of my favourite ’70s figure sets ever. I mean that sincerely. I grew up with Big Jim, and the Filmation Tarzan cartoon is still a passion of mine. To get my set, I had to negotiate with my long-time friend Mark until 3 a.m in a crappy Toronto airport hotel. Sometimes, the stories become intertwined with the toy, and that’s why we collect.

 

Here’s a video I did on the set.

Bionic Woman Bank - 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Bionic Woman Bank (sponsored link) —

I don’t run into figural banks much here in Canada (other than Col. Sanders, which, OMG, did everyone in the country get one?), and that’s probably a good thing because I am powerless against them. I am worried it will be a repeat of the “Blow Mold Obsession” with these banks, and well, I don’t have any more room.

 

Totally pumped about Mego Meet next Week! I’ll be there handing out Lincoln Monsters Buttons and spritzing with you samples of  my new cologne “Mantooth.” It’s a vitriolic stench but once you used to it, you’ll be fine.
