Domo Arigato - Toys From Japan

Michael Jones runs the incredibly cool blog My Two Yen Worth. He lives in Japan and we occasionally send each other stuff. The last time was in January 2013. You can read about that here.

A month or so ago he sent me another box of Japanese goodies. Check it out --

He knows of my love for the Incredible Hulk and, boy, did he come through with some great Japanese Hulk toys! Wow!

Some really cool Star Wars stuff. I love it!

I was wondering why he sent me this baby sock. First of all, it's not a sock. It's some sort of bottle cozy. And it was full of little Star Wars stickers! Yay!

Japanese movie programs from the two Hulk movies, The Avengers and Godzilla: Final Wars.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon holding Pepsi Man's limp body bottle caps.

 Avengers bag.

Spider-Man and Wolverine.

And some stuff with characters I don't know. :)

Stuff I Got After Christmas

Let's take a look at some of the stuff I got after Christmas, shall we?

My wife bought me a Funko Pop! Hulk that I already had, so we went back to The Toys Time Forgot and I traded it in for a Pinhead Pop! Isn't he adorable? I also picked up a couple of Mystery Mini's. I got Leeloo and The Fly.

I had to buy something vintage while I was there. :) I ended up bringing home The Monster Squad board game and an old Hulk bank.

My wife gave me $20 in gift coins for my favorite comic shop, Kenmore Komics & Games. I bought this Trivial Pursuit Marvel Cinematic Universe game. I don't know who I will play it with, but it looks cool.

Walmart clearance! Hulk toothbrush set, Chewie ornament and Star Wars wrapping paper.

Kohl's clearance! Marvel boxers and three Star Wars ornaments. Darth Vader, C-3PO and Kylo Ren.

Target clearance and a Mystery Mini (Stripe)! A little Mr. Potato Head Hulk, Stormtrooper helmet ornament and two mini Star Wars stockings.

CVS clearance! A Hallmark Iron Man ornament.

Barnes & Noble clearance! Four Funko Pop!s! Vision, Will Riker, Deanna Troi and Klingon.

Toys 'R Us mark-down! Gertie Pop! My Pop! collection is coming right along.

I found these two Hot Wheels at Rose's Discount Store. Fast & Furious and Batman on short cards.

On New Years Day our local Dairy Queen had all ice cream cakes on sale for $10 each on that day only! You could choose any cake they had in stock. I chose Batman! It took us a few days to eat it, but we managed. lol

My Adventures On Free Comic Book Day

Well, better late than never. Here's how I spent my Free Comic Book Day 2015.

 The nerdiness actually started the night before. I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron.

I highly recommend seeing it!

 Here's all of the free comic books I got.

 Other free stuff I picked up.

 First stop was JC Comics & Cards.

 I was greeted by Batman and a small Power Ranger.

 I spent over an hour in line.

 Some of the books on the wall. I have those two Hulk comics!

 John, the owner, dresses up as the Joker each year.

 I bought these four books from his quarter box.

 Second stop was Books-A-Million!

 Avengers Assemble!

 The cashier was dressed up as Emma Frost, The White Queen.

 I bought a Funko Marvel Mystery Mini and got Deadpool.

 Lunch time at Fred's Diner!

 I had the bacon cheeseburger, my wife had a patty melt.

 The third comic shop was the Quaker Square News Stand.

They just changed their name to Quaker Square Comics after FCBD.

 The building was the original Quaker Oats Company and has tons of memorabilia.

 I bought a Hulk magnet.

 The fourth and final comic shop was Kenmore Komics & Games.

I love the metal Spider-Man on the side of his building.

This is my regular comic shop that I go to every two weeks.

 I bought one book from the quarter box and five packs of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. trading cards.

 The day didn't end there. We stopped at the Goodwill and I bought a Garfield book and a shot glass from the local defunct amusement park Geauga Lake.

 We then went to the race track track/casino where they were celebrating the Kentucky Derby by holding a funny hat contest.

 I "won" an old generic Iron Man 2 cup.

I played The Wizard of Oz Haunted Forest slot machine.

 I didn't win anything, but it was fun.

We ended the day at Five Below where I bought this Infinity Gauntlet t-shirt.

It was a really fun day!

On Sunday I went to Oddmall.

But, that will have to wait for another post.
