Monday Madness: Kirby Witch Doctor!?

Another interesting toy found in the wild
 For me, half the fun of shopping second hand is finding something strange and just out there, something that speaks to you, something unique. The other half the fun is figuring out just what exactly you have!

This little dude's awesome! Makes me think Thanksgiving for some reason.

I found this little guy for the standard 50 cents price and he sure is cool! The only point of articulation is where the top of his head meets his tiki mask-hat. He looks just like a little yellow Kirby witchdoctor (he has the same stuby little arms)  or a Mario Sunshine character. I searched and searched the web for answers, but I just can't figure out this guy's story. Luckily I'm not alone in my search, I have all you wonderful people to help me! Thank you for helping me solve these toy mysteries!

Some kind of microchip, probably interacts with something to emit sound.


The only clue are these strange markings on the bottoms of his feet. Does anyone out there know what I've stumbled upon? It can't be that old, it seems to have a microchip.

Thanks for looking and if you have answers please share!

Sunday Reflections: How Do You Measure Success?


I have a dead end job and obviously it doesn't pay very well, and because of this I feel like I am very unsuccessful. I have a BS degree and I have been searching for a better job, but still nothing has turned up. I have a wonderful wife and the cutest little daughter. My job does suck, but it pays the bills, we're renting a nice house, and the rent is reasonable. Sometimes I just wish I could have a fancy pants job and make $100,000+ a year or something. This may be a fictional example, but Scrooge McDuck is swimming in cash and he gets to go on all sorts of awesome adventures. If I had gobs of money I'd go on some grand adventures with my family. I'd also be able to better help those in need.




Recently I have become more active with my blogging and I have met so many wonderful people within the blogging community, and that has made me very happy. Now I understand why my wife has been so into blogging all these years. She tells me I have caught "the blogging bug". Thank you so much to everyone that has followed, commented and read my little blog! It really means a lot to me! Every time I read a comment it's like getting a little note in the mail from a good friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So, is money really an adequate way to measure success? How do you measure success? I often feel like a failure because I don't make more money. Does anyone else ever feel the same way? How do you overcome that feeling?

Let your voice be heard in the comments below and have a happy Sunday!

Move Over Sponge Bob, There's A New KIng of Crazy Crap, Uncle Grandpa!?

I thought I'd share this scary cartoon with everyone, since Halloween is right around the corner.




Uncle Grandpa reminds me of MAD magazine. It makes shows like Flapjack and and Sponge Bob look like Masterpiece Theater. I don't think I could ever get into this show, it's just too messed up, and yet I just can't stop watching this weird, mindless stuff. Thought I'd share.

WARNING: THIS IS SOME BIZARRE CRAP! VIEWER BEWARE!


What do you think of cartoons these days? Are they all weird random crap, or are there some modern gems? Are there any older cartoons that can top Uncle Grandpa in craziness?

Frugal Fridays: My Precious Lord of The Rings Finds

Got some great Lord of The Rings books to add to the collection.


The first one was a gift from my Dad. He got it for just $2! The Tolkien Illustrated Encyclopedia is great. It includes history,  characters, creatures, and places of interest. It's fun to flip through the creatures section and freshening up on my mythical beast knowledge. I don't think you can know too much about Ents.

I love the art work.




Not how I imagined Azog.
Eagles to the rescue!

Beorn is HUGE! When I first read the Hobbit I imagined him being normal bear size. Pretty rad though!


I was excited to see this illustrated The Hobbit, also 2 bucks at the DI. The illustrations are great and there are in all! I'm totally gonna read this to Ava when she's a little older. 

That's all for this week kids. Tune in next week for Mason's October Blogathon! On October 1st it's Slime Time! Thanks for watching!

D.I. Joes, Part Deux (all the non-toy items)

Last week I shared some amazing toy finds from my Monday morning D.I. Visit. Now it's time to share with you the not as amazing but still rather cool, I guess, not toys I picked up.

Here goes:

I know what you're thinking. What the crap!?

Yeah, not nearly as cool as the toys. But this first item is very...interesting.

What the wha!?

For just one dollar I got this interesting coin purse. You never know when you might need a quarter or two to lay down on a sweet arcade game, crane game, or a cheap toy vending machine. Now I can keep all my loose change in this "lucky pouch". It's from Australia and it's "genuine kangaroo"! That is all I will say on the matter. I will let you, the reader, decide what this is, I shan't say.

As a bacon lover I just couldn't resist.

Not as good as bacon, but I do love a good steak! Oh hey, you can see my phone!

We've gone from loving pigs, to cows, then to teddies? Huh?

And of course, if you love livestock and teddy bears, then ut stands to reason you love Raggedy Anne.

The heart block looks pretty nice on the chalkboard. I actually found this chalkboard for free a year ago.

Whether you feel a hankering for pork or beef, or if you just want to tell the world you love teddies or dollies, then this thing-a-majig has you covered! My favorite side of the block is, of course, I heart pig. :D

I wonder if I could find that at the D.I.
And lastly I picked up the 100th issue of Elle Decor. You know, for my wife. Design magazines are great for getting interior design ideas (duh), but who wants to pay full price for a stinking magazine? Snatched this up for just 50 cents. 

There! Now that wasn't so bad, now was it? 

Someone beat me to the punch on this one. Dang it! The typewriter hunt continues.

Monday Madness: Dollar Store Ooze Run

If you tuned in to the last Frugal Friday then you may remember my beautifully disgusting new Muck Man. Well, as you know, Much Man has some awesome ooze features. You know, because he's not nasty enough already.


So, the next best thing to finding Muck Man's companion figure, Joe Eyeball, would be getting my hands on some Retromutagen Ooze (sold separately, naturally). The sad thing is they don't exactly make the stuff anymore. It can be found on eBay, but it's a pricey collector's item, and it's also known to loss its viscosity over time. So what's a guy to do? I searched around the interweb a little and found you can make your own Retromutagen Ooze or Ectoplasim. Hmm, that could be a possibility if it came to that; but I'd much rather have something that's pre-made and ready to go.

Just when it seemed like all hope was lost or something, Eric, of Toyrific, informed me that Ooze type toys can often be found at dollar stores! So today, after work, I stopped by our local Dollar Tree and lo and behold they were fully stocked with BARREL-O-SLIME, and it's freaking glow-in-the-dark! YES! I was so stinking excited! I just couldn't believe they had slime, and 3 types no less! They had green, red, and a mystery color (the 3rd type was in a black container that was not at all transparent), maybe blue?

Just beautiful

A mighty fine barrel. The "CAUTION" all over is a nice touch. I plan on returning to buy the solid black barrel.


I decided green would be most fitting for now. When I finally got the slime home I found Muck Man was even more excited than I expected. I had luckily picked his favorite flavor-o-slime.

Wooooooooooooo!

Glow-in-the-dark, baby!

It really is no wonder we never had this as kids.

Easy there tiger!


He wanted to dig in right away, but I want to save The Slimening for the up and coming October Blogathon. The Slimening will commence on October the 1st. There will also be a surprise guest! I bet the suspense is just killing you!

Soon my friend, soon.

Sunday Reflections: When Does Collecting Turn Into Hoarding?



My Dad taught me the joys of collecting at a young age. He has so many awesome collections, from vinyl records to stamps, coins, and of course plenty of comic books, trading cards, and toys. I was hooked on collecting as soon as I could walk. Rock collections, bug collections, toys, comic books, cards, you name it!

Today I still have many collections and it's a bit hard to keep track of sometimes. My wife keeps my collecting under control and my penny pinching ways help me reign in my collecting. However I've always had the fear of becoming a hoarder. I'm sure most everyone is familiar with the hit reality TV show Hoarders.


WARNING!!! The following video contains nasty hoarders' house footage! Not for the faint of heart!




The Honey and I used to watch Hoarders from time to time and afterwards I would have a strong urge to start cleaning the house and quickly plan out a garage sale and DI donation run. Now a days I can't even watch the show, it makes me literally sick to my stomach (and I tell fart jokes at the dinner table!) and it depresses me! I want to own my collection, and not have it own me. I don't wanna end up being the crazy hoarder man, crushed to death under a fallen stack of toy bins and comics.

This card made my LOL! But then I thought "Am I buying too many GPK cards?



This next video made me almost cry. That poor guy, he just wanted to raise money for his kids college funds. I know it sounds silly, but he thought he was going to make hundreds of thousands off of Beanie Babies! A lot of people thought that, but boy were they wrong. This is why I think you need to be wary of considering collecting as a financial investment, because something like this could happen. It can be like putting all your money in one stock.





My brother and I have always found the junk people scene, from the Labrinth, to be rather interesting. A not-so-subtle commentary on hoarding? Maybe. The documentary clip above has an interesting take on the meaning of this scene.

I think it is possible to maintain a high quality of life while maintaining a large collection, though it can be hard sometimes. Collectable Spectacle is a series of documentaries on YouTube by Flophouse Films. The documentaries chronicle the collections of 2 devout G.I. Joe fans, Airedevon and Mark Bellomo. If you are a serious toy collector I highly recommend watching both documentary in their entirety, they're wonderful! They are a bit long, so pop some popcorn and enjoy your favorite fizzy beverage as you watch on in amazement.



What do all you collectors think about this? Have you ever feared you might become a hoarder? How do you keep your collection organized and in control? Do you focus exclusively on one thing, or do you collect a wide range, like me?

And for those of you that don't collect, do you think collectors are crazy? Should we change our ways and become minimalists? Or is collecting just a great way to have fun, bond with family, and meet new friends?

Let your voice be heard in the comments below!

Frugal Friday: Odd Playskool toy, Madball copycat and more!

Bilbo Baggins

Bilbo goes all Tarzan
I found this weird Bilbo Tarzan toy for 50 cents. He's Zindar, one of many cavemen from Playskool's 1987 Definitely Dinosaurs toy line. I had no idea Playskool made something like this. Strange, but cool!

Meet "Bubba"

Madball looking water toy. Bubba here squirts water out of the gap in his teeth. $1 for Bubba.

Ha-ha! Have at you!
Foot Clan soldier based on one of the original TMNT movies. He's kinda goofy looking. I really like him and he was only 50 cents!

Mommy?

I found a new friend for Blobby. It's none other than Muck Man from the vintage TMNT line! Now I just need to find some Retromutagen Ooze. How did I not have this ooze as a kid? You pour the ooze into the opening in his head and the ooze flows out his mouth and gut! AWESOME! I need to make a video of that! 

I'm so confused here
Did I do this right? He looks...off.

I seem to find a lot of Transformers toys at the DI and I think I know why. They're cool and all, but MY GOSH, they're worse than Rubik's Cubes! They have like a million moving parts! I can never get them to transform fully. Now, my friend Landon, he's crazy about Transformers. He can also solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute. Coincidence? Bonecrusher and Mudflap here were just 50 cents a pop. 


Lastly, I finally found a decent mug. Here we have the SR-71 Blackbird, the X-men's personal jet. Pretty cool and just 50 cents.

Ice see you have LEGO bricks.

This week’s assignment from the League: The Find





This week's assignment from the League: The Find.

What was your best/favorite yard sale or flea market find?

Alright, let's dive right in, shall we?

I grew up on garage sales and flea markets. Our Dad would take us kids to the flea market almost every week and I loved it. I looked on in wonder at G.I. Joes, He Man toys, video games, Star Wars figures, comic books, trading cards, X-Men action figures, and antiques. I never really bought much, because I didn't really have any money when I was a kid. I do remember buying a Rattlor figure from the He Man toy line. I have since lost it, but I hope to find him again at a flea market or garage sale.
"Garage Sailing" was also a common weekend activity. I just couldn't believe some of the cool stuff people would want to get rid of! I would always make a b-line for the FREE box. The fun didn't end at garage and yard sales, oh no! Bulk trash pick-up day was a great time to drive around and discover treasures among trash. It was like everyone in the neighborhood was having a FREE garage sale! I recently posted about a great curbside find. You just can't beat FREE stuff!
I have been meaning to have more flea market adventures with my Dad. I loved going to the flea market as a kid and I have many fond memories of our trips there. In the meantime I have been trying to go to as many garage sales as I can and it just so happens I recently had a major find.
I grew up on LEGO (in addition to garage sales and flea markets. :P). I remember building the Classic Space Unitron Monorail Transport Base Train set with my Dad and my brother. We had everything from the Space theme to Wild West. LEGO seemed so much more affordable back then. I loved all the small sets that were basically just mini figures, they were freaking awesome!!!! Large sets were always fun, but over time they'd break apart, instructions would get lost and pieces were scattered through time and space. Some mini figures were lost as well, but they tended to stick around for the most part. 

     (This video always puts me into a nostalgic comma. Pure awesome!)
But enough about my LEGO past, let's talk about "the find". It was at a garage sale in our neighborhood, just up the street. I actually knew the family that was hosting the sale. Their teenage son was in the youth class at church that I taught from time to time. So anyways, there I am searching for something good when I came across this bin and my heart leapt! 
I hope Chris doesn't regret letting his Sunday school teacher buy his LEGO.

LEGO bricks! Always a great find at a garage sale. I instantly asked how much they wanted for it. "$35?" That seemed like a fortune to me as I am super frugal (more like a penny pinching tightwad actually). At this point I hadn't even looked inside. So I opened up that puppy and what did I find?
MEGA BLOCKS!
Half the bin was MEGA BLOCKS! MEGA BLOCKS!? UNACCEPTABLE!!


You tell 'em Lemon Grab!
If you or one you love is an AFOL (Adult Fan Of LEGO) then you know AFOLs hate immitation brands with the burning passion of a thousand suns! DO NOT BUY mega blocks, best lock, k'nex, tyco, kreo, etc. THEY ARE GARBAGE! I know they're cheaper, but they're cheaper for a reason, and that reason is because they are crap! Parents, DO NOT buy these for your children! Dang it, I'm ranting again, back to the story. (I apologize ahead of time for hating on these toy brands. I don't hate them, I just strongly dislike them. If you like the above mentioned brands then that's fine, we can still be friends, I promise! We're totally cool!)
SO, half the bin is *cringe* mega blocks, so I actually went through the bin and started picking out all the mega blocks pieces! They asked what I was doing, and I explained it to them as best I could. I will resist the urge to rant about the fact that they called the mega blocks "legos". After removing the worthless mega blocks bits I was able to talk them down on price. After all, I had just removed half the "legos". I was able to talk them down to $20 and walked home with a fine bin of LEGO bricks (not legos, sorry, AFOLs are very anal about this point. You can still call them Legos, I won't get offended) I still paid more than I wanted to, but I knew the family and I was just thrilled to have some vintage LEGO.
Nothin' like a tub o' LEGO!

The bin in question. I was most excited to see Ice Planet pieces. Ice Planet is my all time favorite Space theme. I love the color scheme, blue, black, white, and that amazing translucent orange!

Here are some of my favorite mini figures that were included in the bin, but certainly not all of them.

My Ice Planet crew amongst others in my toy community

I mixed in the Ice Planet figures from the bin with my current collection. I now have a mighty fine Ice Planet crew to play Brik Wars with. I actually wish there was some snow on the ground, then I could snap a proper picture of the crew in their element.

This guy in the middle is my favorite. He looks like he really loves his job!
She's one beautiful captain! 
The second guy from the left kinda looks like my brother.
Johnny Thunder from the Adventurers theme!
Mars Mission Astronauts
These Martian figures are so strange
Officer Lee Gogh, keeping the streets safe.

Left over mega block bits

I'm not the only one with an amazing find. Go check out what other LOEB members discovered:


And many more to come!

Thanks for tuning in! Until next time, happy sailing!

Monday Madness: D.I. Joes!

They say Monday morning, opening time, is the best day and time to shop the DI, and they weren't kidding! I have to say this is one of my best hauls yet!

Toys were the name of the name this trip. Before, I wouldn't have even given the plush toy section a passing glance, but after reading about some great plushy finds on Laura's blog, Boo Bobby, I realized there are some great plush toys out there. They're not all crane game rejects. 

The Plushies

Picture quality=Toy Quality

Iss a me, Malleo!

The first plushy I came across is a Super Mario bootleg, Super Malleo! I just couldn't say no to this ugly fella. I probably saved some poor kid from getting this cruddy thing from his mom. I can see it now.

Ma: look Johnny, it's that turtle man you love so much!
Johnny: Uh, gee, thanks mom... *tosses Malleo in trash when he thinks his mom's not looking*
Ma: Johnny, are you throwing out that turtle man?
Johnny: Ummm, no Ma, I'm just, uh, I'm storing him in the trash bin, yeah! For Science!
Ma: Oh, all right. You crazy kids and your science!

Anyways, this thing's pretty messed up, Malleo is stiff as a board. What is he made of? Hard styrofoam? It feels like his feet are filled with some cheapo foam pellets. I kinda feel ripped off paying a dollar for this guy, but hey, he's good for a laugh. Now all I need is his brother Weegee and I'm set!

How the heck do you pronounce AiAi?

Next we have AiAi from Super Monkey Ball. I was never really a big fan of Super Monkey Ball, but I do love SEGA and he's pretty cute. Plus, You can totally see his cute little tush! Which apparently is "NOT FOR SALE". Well that's just weird.

Come on, wear some pants AiAi!


Moving on. The last and best plush I found was Cookie Monster! Who doesn't love Cookie Monster!? I hear they have him eating fruit now, what's up with that!? What were they thinking? I know we should teach our kids to eat their fruit, but come on, he's Cookie Monster, not Fruit Monster!

I just couldn't keep Ava away from Cookie Monster!




Now this is Cookie Monster at his best! Great new video.


Sorry about my little rant there. Where was I? Oh yeah, Cookie Monster also has the official Applause tag on his bottom. :D 

Official Applause Cookie Monster!



While I was trying to take a picture of the C Man, Ava kept trying to play with him. What a cutie! Did you like my Cookie Monster impersonation? I also do Elmo, but I don't do parties, sorry.

I also picked up this little gargoyle lion warrior guy. He was a tad pricey at 75 cents (I'm so cheap!) but I like him. The only marking to be found reads "HONG KONG". Does anyone know anything about this guy? Is he one of those no name brand toys? Who knows?

Raaawr!
The Ultimate Grab Bag!

Now, on to the other toys. All the rest of the toys came in a $1 grab bag! Let's see what's inside.

Grab bag Jackpot!


G.I. Joes!

I'm guessing the 2 on the left are Cobra and the on on the right is a Joe

The G.I. Joes in this grab bag are what really caught my eye. I've actually never come across Joes at the DI before, so I was pretty lucky. The grab bag they were in was still being wheeled out on a cart from the back room. Sadly one lost an arm, in the war. I never had many G.I. Joes as a kid, so I'm not sure which Joes these are. I'm guessing one of them is a Cobra. I could probably research it, but I'd rather get the expert opinion of John at the The Clawful Punch. I'll let you know what he has to say, in the mean time go check out his blog, it's totally rad, you'll be glad you did!

Meet Tiggy and Blobby, the Outer Terrestrial Creatures

As I was peeking into the grab bag I spotted these little beauties from the Outer Terrestrial Creatures toy line! I never thought in a million years I'd ever come across these figures! In fact, I would've had no idea what I'd come across we're it not for Weirdo Toys. You should check out Justin's review of these awesome toys. It's fun and educational!

I like how one head is snake-like

Now, this awesome 2-headed dragon toy looks like it was made by the same company that made the gargoyle lion warrior above, whatever company that is. These things are pretty solid plastic and I must say, very classic 80's style! Once again, the only marking to be found reads "HONG KONG". Does anyone out there in Internet Land have any info on these creatures? They look so dang familiar!

Froggacuda, Monster of the Red Lake

Look at that maw!


Yet another awesome 80's toy! I had to do a little research on this one, as I never came across this as a kid. According to my research he's from The Other World toy line by Arco. His name is Froggacuda, monster of the Red Lake. How awesome is that!? I found a fun blog that discusses The Other World figures and other fun, weird toys called Little Weirdos. Go check it out!


This little Furby figure is a McDonald's happy meal toy. I believe he was the only non-80's toy of the grab bag bunch.

Furby, just playin' some smooth jazz


                                         When you press on his hat he plays a mean jazz riff!

                                                I'm reminded of this old Furby commercial.
                                                                          Classic.

I was never a fan of Furby.  It seemed like everyone wanted one until they actually owned one, then they hated it because it never shuts up, so they'd stuff it in a drawer! If i came across one at the DI I'd probably still pick it up, especially a Gizmo Furby. At least this one doesn't talk, he just plays the blues, baby! He some how plays that sax with his little Furby feet. Very impressive!

Just look at those red eyes!

He's so ripped!

Here we have what looks like an imp of some sort. I can imagine dozens of these little monsters infesting a home and causing mischief. He sure is ripped, just look at those back muscles! I have no clue as to this imp's origins, there are no markings to be seen. Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, that's all folks!

"Behind the Scenes"


Finger Puppet Monster falls in with the wrong crowd



Froggacuda's mouth is perfectly designed for quick consumption of prey

ISSSS A MEEE, MAAAAALLEEEEOOOOOOoooo!!!

Wow.
Pretty nasty. I might have purchased this classy item, but it was missing the butt.



Stay Tuned for part Deux!

I also picked up some cool, yet non-toy items. This post was getting a little long, so I decided to save the rest for a future post. Thanks for tuning in!
