@old_seaweed ... Late answer to your question re Zaborga bath toy! All those guys were sold in a capsule with other items .. the blue thing s a sponge/towel .. here's one I have still mint
Sorry I missed your reply back there, @scobot ! Thanks for sharing that info and (fantastic) pic — there's something about a blue sponge-towel-water-thing that makes my day. As does a blue tank, Bemular, and anything with battery-powered-mystery-action
@old_seaweed I wonder if the red and blue buttons do anything on those tanks. Also, I think Ultraman and Bemular would not have a fun road trip together. I guess that's why they are facing opposite directions.
@blakewest That's a time-out seat, in my book. From what I can guess at (via a Manda auction page), it's the Ultra eyes and timer that light up. I'm not sure why they'd add the expense of placebo buttons, though, unless this was a foundational thing they used for other toys?
Just too much to process there. Using Vampirella to fill space is the least of it (or is that Fantom mask linked to a character in the series? I don't think it is). Charmed by the laughing bread. Wondering if Warren collectors even know about those Uncle Creepy/Cousin Eerie masks. Is #1111 Toxie? Gorilla hoisting blow-up doll. Trying to figure out who #1251 might represent, and not wanting to think about what they were going for with #1253. Showcasing this stuff like Don Post, or others. There's so, so much.
