Post A pleasant little score.
I went out to Orange County seeking flaffel (For some reason, all the Long Beach flaffel places are all gone) and decided on a whim to check out a collector's toy shop I hadn't been to in a long time. I swore I wouldn't spend any money, but these were SO cheap! I'm glad i took a second look in this seller's case!

My favorite is the grim reaper. Each one comes with some sort of "Gut" part that pops out. They also came with a zip lock baggie with slime, but the slime is loooong dried out. His tape was loose so I took him out, all the rest are sealed. I think there was something on Nerdone (I remember a custom King walder one!) about these but i can't find it. Kookie!

I really like the cyclops too.

yes. finding cool toys while out at flea markets or 2nd hand shops is somehow infinitely more satisfying than just winning an auction. Its like they found you! :)

I need to hit up more flea markets!

In these days of Ebay and such, we just forget to look around us.

Those were probably the auctions that all got pulled, I was bidding on all of them and minutes before they happened everything dissapeared and the sellers ID was pulled from ebay. :cry:

These things kind of freak me out. The Grim Reaper one is definitely the coolest of the bunch.
