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.

Spider-Man and Wolverine.

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

Memorial Day Flea Market Finds

I spent a few hours of my Memorial Day like I usually do. At the Hartville MarketPlace and Flea Market. I love this place! Here's what I picked up --

This guy had two tables piled with tons of little toys and other misc. junk. Everything was 25¢ each. I dug through it all and came away with these. I believe they are vintage 1978 Tim Mee Toys Galaxy Laser Team figures. I've read about them online before and always thought they looked neat. I've never owned any until now. I also got a couple of my favorite (non) dinosaur, the Dimetrodon!

There were 10 packs of 1984's A Nightmare On Elm Street stickers in the box. The dealer said he'd sell them to me for $7.00 and throw in the box. I couldn't pass up that deal. Now I need to find the sticker book to put them in. I also picked up another Dimetrodon. This one is a McDonald's Diener dinosaur.

For $3.00 I got this 1978 Eegee Dolly Parton action figure (it's not a doll damnit!).

One of my favorite finds is this unsharpened 1978 Incredible Hulk pencil. It was only a buck! It's a great addition to my vintage Hulk collection.

I'm slowly rebuilding my Smurf army. I sold most of my Smurf collection back in the 1990s. These were $1.00 each.

Another seller had a bunch of different little PVC figures for $3.00 each or two for $5.00. That's a little more than I like to spend on these. But, I paid the extra because these were Halloween themed.

Dinosaurs Big Songs CD from 1992 for $2.00. I can't wait to listen to this! "Not the mama!"

And lastly a Marvel Comics cardboard box for $5.00 that the seller thinks was from the early 1990s and used to have some kind of collector's kit in it. I just liked the old school graphics on it. He also had a huge stack of this April 1978 issue of Marvel's Pizzazz magazine for a dollar each. I bought one for and one for my brother.

The Ultimate Garbage Pail Kids Website

I love GPKs! I've been collecting them since the first series in 1985.

One of the best reference sites for GPK is geepeekay.com. Recently on there facebook page, they held a giveaway. I was one of the lucky winners. I got two website logo stickers, Bailed BART from 2014 and a foreign Bukimi Kun card.

Thanks GeePeeKay for the great stickers!

Three Stooges Three Dimensional Stickers

Here's something totally random from my vast collection of junk stuff.

Three packs of The Three Stooges Three Dimensional Stickers. ©1980 Norman Mauer Productions, Inc. Made in Taiwan. According to this website, there are 24 unique stickers in all - packaged in six short packs, or three long packs. I only have these three short packs. I guess I might have to look for the other ones some day.
