A great find here: the Revell Rat Fink Model  from 1990. If you were a young boy growing up in the 60's you know the iconic name Rat Fink. Ed "Big Daddy" Roth created Rat Fink in the early 60's and was a direct action against  Mickey Mouse .Rat Fink was a true anti hero and a real American pop /car culture icon that became a huge influence from art to cars to music .Hell this rat was arguably was a game changer Anyway this model is all there and sealed .The box is however unsealed but in great condition.It's not often that pre 2000 Rat Fink collectables come to light  is because there just danm kool ! Here's a link for more info on  Ed "Big Daddy" Roth       http://www.ratfink.com/big-daddy-roth-bio.php


Also here is a Rat Fink Toy commercial from 1990 the same year this model came out

Spider-Man Jack In The Box 2005


Just a freakin' kool toy  and a must for fans of the web slinger .This baby is four sides of vintage Spider-Man  madness and plays the theme from the  1967 Spider-Man cartoon as you crank the handle around. The front of the box features the  cover of Amazing Fantasy #15.Yes this is the Steve Ditko era Spidy in all his glory and it really works .
 





  Made of tin and swings in at a height of 5.5 inches but when Spidy pops up ,he towers in at just under 11 inches.Made by the Schylling Company in 2005 ,this is a Marvel licensed  product that is very hard to find  let alone in mint condition ,which this one is.


   You just know this  retro puppy won't last long in the store,it really is pretty sweet! Check out the you tube video

Star Trek The Next Generation Starship Enterprise Glider






 Sometimes  at an auction  you bid  on a lot for one specific item, you win it but the lot has a lot of  crap,items you don't want. Believe me rarely does a lot have a hidden treasure buried in it.Well  this  "Starship Enterprise Glider" was at the bottom of a box(in a 2 box lot) and no one,including us bothered to dig through the boxes.Hell the boxes had a couple of more kool surprises also.Anyway this  "Star Trek: The Next Generation"  Starship Enterprise Glider is kinda kool and off beat .Produced by Playmates in 1993,this is the collectors edition  and is # 42833 of a limited run .The box is opened and has some wear  but as you can it's all there and still sealed
      

Apparently this puppy can fly up to 40 feet  as advertised  and is a must for Star Trek: The Next Generation fans.Long out of production and kinda of forgotten about have made this a sought after toy by fans of the TV show.Sometimes it pays to dig deep!
