It’s that time of year again, where the Bloglin throws up it’s usual year-end lists on music and movies. I tend to do a different sort of list each and every year centered around my passion for collecting weird/odd objects and toys. While I do tend to pick up quite a deal in my travels, I still avidly search on eBay for a variety stuff that will capture my eye. So, with that said  I present my top 10 eBay purchases from 2010.

This list is in no particular order, just ten of my favorite things that I won on eBay this year. I kept the titles as they appeared on their respective eBay auction, however this year I opted to just shoot each one of them myself instead of throwing up the images from their auctions. It’s just easier for me to take them myself. Enjoy!

10) PALITOY GOR KING OF TERRONS BOXED & COMPLETE VERY RARE!

I actually already owned a Gor King that I found loose at flea market when I was a kid. It’s from the 70s and part of G.I. Joe’s Super Joe line. If you’ve never heard of those figures before, check them out. The Super Joes had some pretty rad characters including Gor King of Terrons.

This particular Gor King is a UK version made by Palitoy which I won for about $50 shipped, which is a steal. One of the best things about this particular Gor King is the rad packaging. It’s totally different from the US release, and I think it’s by the same artist who did all the artwork for the Cyborg/Cybo-Nator figures.

9) King Kong Rubber Jiggler Keychain Store Display

I love vintage King Kong toys…. But I probably didn’t need to get this, but it was just so cool. A set of these still attached to the store card? Too hard to pass up. I could only imagine walking into a store as a kid, seeing this and buying one.

There was actually one Kong missing from the header card when I bought this… So maybe I did buy one as a kid, and don’t even remember?

8) Old Graphic Trash Can Tot Stickers Vending Machine Sign

As a kid there was this Pathmark supermarket by my house which had a bunch of those ¢25 plastic bubble toy vending machines. My favorite one was this one machine that sold these bootleg Garbage Pail Kid stickers called Trash Can Tots.

At the time the machine was actually busted, and my hands were still small enough to wiggle up the door. I remember stealing a bunch of these stickers. But I don’t steal anymore, I don’t think its right whether it be from a small store or a large corporation.

7) Vintage Bullmark Bagged Hawaii Spray version. Ultra7

I usually don’t get caught up in buying packaged Vintage Kaiju. The figures tend to usually go for way more than I’m willing to pay. I randomly found this listing one day and decided to bid on it on a whim. I actually ended up getting this guy for a pretty good price.

This particular paint job is from Hawaii and I know figures from Hawaii are typically more rare. This guy unfortunatley, is more common than others. However, to find him mint-in-bag? Well that’s just not common at all. I kind of want to sell him, so if you are interested, make me an offer!

6) Weird Bootleg He-man figure in Hebrew

This was not the name of the actual eBay listing. I’m actually not sure what the original listing was titled unfortunately so you’ll have to make do with this. I cant ready Hebrew but I’m sure it says something really cool all over the packaging.

Where did they sell these? In Isreal? Hasidic neighborhoods? Who bought them? I want to know and get more of them. But I have one and I think that’s enough.

5) vintage monster rubber head 3.8 pez

I know I said this list is in no particular order, but this is probably one of my favorite eBay wins from this past year. This Pez is part of a series that came out in the 70s called the Eeire Spectre series, and this guy’s name is “Spook.” There are 6 characters in total from the linel.

I am trying to collect an entire set, but I always seem to get outbid, and let me tell you, these don’t go for cheap! They also don’t come up very often, so this is something I am constantly on the hunt for. If you happen to have a set, let me know, Ill make it worth it to you!

Fun Fact: eBay was originally set up to buy, sell and trade Pez dispensers

4) 70s Tiger Seven enemy vinyl 5 inches popy bullmark

This right here has to be one of my favorite pieces of vintage Kaiju that I own. I had never ever seen this figure before, but I was able to dig up some information on him. His name is “Mu Empire Priest” and he was a villain from the Tiger Seven Series.

Tiger Seven was a short lived live action Japanese TV show from the 60s in the vein of Ultraman. Now how do I know all of this? Because I belong to a toy nerd message board. Its fun being a toy nerd!

3) 70s AHI ACTION APEMAN-PLANET OF APES-1 DAY!! Fits MEGO

I have always been into Planet of the Apes even though it was kind of before my time. I remember when the internet first started up, I found this cool website with all of these bootleg toys on it. I remember seeing these made by AHI and these would later fuel my obsession with finding and collecting bootleg toys.

The funny thing about AHI is they also made officially licensed Planet of the Apes product as well.

2) VINTAGE MONSTER BOGGLIN FRANKENSTEIN NO RESERV

I think this seller would have probably made more money on this auction had they spelled “Boglin”correctly. There loss is my gain though. I am not 100% certain but I think they released a new series of Boglins in the UK around the late 90s… And I think this may be one of them.

I need some AA batteries to see what it does, but I think that it lights up and makes sounds. Its not really all that vintage but it’s still pretty badass to me!

1) Wacky Weirdos Gumball Toy Charm Vending Machine Card 91

I found an eBay seller that was selling a ton of these vintage gumball toy displays. I liked them so much that I went and made a Flickr gallery with them. This one in particulair is amazing though as it feeds both my MadBall and bootleg toy fetish.

This one of the sickest pieces I own and cant wait to get this framed.

Bonus: Vintage 1986 Madballs creepy bods mr mummy mad balls

I have had “creepy bods” in my search queue for about a year now and something finally came up! You can probably tell from this photo that creepy bods were little bodies that you could place your Madballs on to display them.

These are totally unlicensed and totally rad. I paid way too much for this and I can’t even take it out of the package to display one of my Madballs!

- Twerps!
