Robot Man Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Got a pm today asking if I had a Superman Krypto Ray Gun. Yes, I do. One of the first collectible toys I ever bought along with the large wooden jointed Superman doll. One of my favorite Superman items. No self respecting Supe collector should be without one of these. Saw one go on the bay a week or so for around $1,100. so cheap considering what Supe comics from 1940 go for.

Robot Man Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 And, just for chits and giggles, I thought I'd dig out my copy of Action #32 which has the "origin" or first appearance of this cool device... sagii, Sqeggs, PopKulture and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 And, just to keep the bases covered, here is a large Daisy magazine ad from 1940 offering this. Not my photo as I can't seem to find where I put it and am just too lazy to look any further. sagii and BuscemasAvengers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally cool toy and was mint in the box one day a long time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally cool toy and was mint in the box one day a long time ago! The gun is thin pressed steel and works. The end piece does rotate. Why I don't know. I kind of like the condition it is in now. Nice but used and still working. It has character and a kid had fun with it. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) While I am on the subject of favorite Superman toys. These rank at the top of my list too. They have great action when wound up. Also, from 1940. Edited April 14, 2018 by Robot Man PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 A show report of a different sort today. This is “junking” in So CA. The Long Beach Antique Flea Market. 3rd Sunday every month. Probably the biggest one in LA. This joint is huge. Took me 4-1/2 hours today but I did a little “chatting”. Lotta talk about the Storage Wars guy’s comic find. Here is what it looks like at 5:30 am with the trucks rolling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 First stop was Shaun. Picked up some nice early Matchbox toys on the cheap from him. Nice to see the young guys in the business. Flashing his “stripper money” at me! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
