Two New Arrivals; or... $%^&

.

I purchased these two action figures from an eBay seller; or more specifically, an eBay seller sent these two action figures, but only ONE is the figure I purchased. The other is a different figure from what I purchased.

My contempt for eBay sellers grows with nearly every purchase, the lying scumbags. The figure I purchased is somewhat uncommon. The one they sent is common, less in demand, and one I already have.

I'm waiting for a reply from the seller.

The Perfidious Professor Gangrene

.

This 1/6-scale Action Man Professor Gangrene action figure arrived in the post today, all the way from Jolly Olde Englande, via eBay.

Well, "this" Professor Gangrene is slightly inaccurate. "A" Professor Gangrene figure arrived. I stripped off his costume... I mean uniform... and ripped off his head and I put the head and costume on a replacement body so the poor old git can actually bend his elbows and knees. He will be much more "action-y" now.

Vintage Barbie Hot Dog Stand

.

Once in a while an eBay purchase ekseeds eectation. This pre-owned Barbie Hot Dog Stand, circa 1987, is one of those purchases.

And it was cheap! The seller wanted barely enough to cover postage!

The eBay seller noted prominently in the listing that one of the upright posts that secure the awning was missing. Other than that, the forty year old set is pretty close to complete. (I've cobbled together a temporary replacement support out of plastic drinking straws and tape.)

In addition, the seller included a Maxie Doll lifeguard chair (catch a glimpse of it in the preceding Professor Gangrene photo), and a few miscellaneous bits and pieces.
