Flea market findings 6

Photo dump warning! Originally I was going to make this into two separate posts, but apparently I'm feeling really lazy this month so here's everything all at once! Just to be clear, all of this stuff wasn't bought at one place, but rather from different vendors at various locations over a long time frame (about 3 months). It would be nice to find a flea market where they would only sell toys, with flea market prices and not with "specialty" store price tags. There is a limit how much I'm willing to pay for a used toy even though I might not always seem like it.

I was really happy when I spotted this Sakura Miku Hatsune, but I was very disappointed to learn later that this is actually a bootleg! It doesn't stink like a cheap knock off, the paint job is really good and the plastic isn't soft and all bendy like bootlegs usually are. For what it's worth, it's the finest looking bootleg I've ever seen!  Shame on me, I was fooled....

I'm suspicious that I may have been fooled twice :D I found this Jolteon plush at a flea market that was full of bootlegs of many kinds (Lego, Minecraft, MLP).  There were also similar looking Eevee,Vaporeon and a Flareon plush there, but this Jolteon stood out because this was the only one with that Pokémon Center tag with appropriate copyright belongs to Nintendo, the Pokémon Company etc. text. The other eeveelutions only had a very basic tag that only reads "made in China". I find it very unlikely that a genuine plush would have ended up amongst all the bootlegs.

Free Elsa! I don't really care for Frozen, this was just me acting out a childhood dream! Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to bust open anything that slightly even resembled a snow globe, to get my hands on that small figurine that is held captive by a translucent sphere! Finally I did it! When cracking it open, it occurred to me that I probably should have used some protective gloves when that foul smelling liquid was dripping down my hand and causing a very distant feeling of a burning sensation.

SSJ Goku, a very disturbing looking Luke and Lil' Anakin Skywalker. I'm always on a lookout for anything Dragon Ball Z (and Star Wars) related stuff, but I'd say 98% of the time you're looking for DBZ items, the search is futile. When you do actually find something, it's either a manga volume or a video game. Whenever I find a figure, I'll always feel extra happy!

Horses,horses, horses......because I love 'em! I have from before a smaller version of the striped one, a bigger version of the spotted one (in different color), I want to repaint the black one and the Carousel horse is just something I've never come across before! Such beautiful and unique thing among all the boring and regular horse toys!

Completed my Lion King Pez collection with these three! The toys need a clean up, you can see they have been well played with! Now I need to update my Lion King collection post too with all these new additions!

Dino time! ;D

The Land Before Time's Chomper! I didn't even know such toys even excited!

Safari LTD. tiny Dilophosaurus, Raptor and Spinosaurus.

Brachiosaurus(?) by unknown and T.Rex. with JP logo on it's thigh.

Jurassic Park 3 Velociraptor and 1998 Godzilla baby.

Chap Mei's Dimetrodon and Raptor. Dammit, I'm loving these colors. *_*

Flea market findings 5

Phew, it's been a while! Enjoying the summer are we? Well, I'm trying at least, unfortunately I had to break my tradition of going to Animecon this year, because I had too much other things going on..... maybe next year then! I'm also feeling  a little bit "left out"  because of Pokémon Go!  I can't jump on that bandwagon because I don't own a phone capable of running it. Dammit! It sure looks fun though! I'll just have to settle with playing Pokémon Shuffle on my tablet then. Or go searching for new toys to buy instead of saving  the money for a new phone!!! :D

Transforming Digimon! While in Taomon form, you can see the toy is missing a piece, but if I keep it in Kyubimon form it's hardly noticeable, which is good! I find Kyubimon to be more pleasing to the eye anyway.

Kurhn doll and some random dolly keyring I thought were too cute and very cheap to let pass by. I think I only paid 0,70€ for both of them in total.

The Groke and Tony Tony Chopper plush with their big grins. Chopper was only 0,50€!!

Alien versus Predator old PC game and Neca's very chibi Predator climber.

Schleich's Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus and Safari Ltd. tiny T. Rex. Also, a Wolf and fox with their respective offsprings by.... I have no clue. They do have a copyright marking on their bellies, too bad they didn't bother to put their company name there next to it!

I can't get over with how awesome this Chap Mei Dilophosaurus looks!! *_* ....until I take a look at it dislocated lower jaw. It was so close to perfection!

Ever so pretty skull keyrings and DragonBall GT phone charms and Mario's magic mushroom.

Chap Mei Ninja warrior, beaten up Piccolo and a lonely Clone Trooper.

Slowpoke, silver Giratina and big Pikachu bottle.

Lion King stuff (I have no idea what that Scar thing is supposed to be) and a random pack of Sonic, Garfield,  the Aristocat's Toulouse Smarties topper, some adorable Mother Goose.

1998s Godzilla or just Zilla nowadays, Zorro's steed Tornado, and a cute lil' Grim Reaper.

I found these last four at a yard sale. MLP G1 Fifi & baby pony Shaggy, a very charming Pentik Murr Murr Fox ceramic wall tile and lastly, a very derped out Batman just for the shits and giggles.

Jurassic Eggs: Velociraptor

An assembly set by Geoworld.

I went on a weekend cruise over to Estonia and while I didn't really find anything special on the shore, the more I found in the souvenir shop on the ship!

I had already visited the shop a couple of times, but it wasn't before the last time I went in there, that I noticed these big dinosaur eggs (height: 18 cm) on one of the shelves. I took a closer look,  and from what you can tell on the outside, I thought the quality looked decent enough, and it didn't set off any alarm bells for a cheap knockoff. I decided to buy one, then two, then three..... but then that little voice in the back of my head told me to buy just one, in case that the content of the eggs turns out to be complete garbage. So, in the end, after like 10 minutes of deliberating, I chose the Velociraptor. I think the price for one set was 13,50 €, but I wouldn't swear on it.

I was this close to buying a Spinosaurus and a T. Rex as well.

The set  includes 14 pieces in total. Assembling the Raptor was (mostly) easy,  there are pegs that you push in their reserved holes and that's it. No gluing required! ..... unless you want to. The only tricky part was getting the jaw attached to the skull, which you have to split open to get the skull hold on to the neck. I  needed some tweezers to push the very small pegs on the jaw to latch on to the skull, but otherwise it was easy peasy. The finished Velociraptor stands around 11 cm tall and length from the nose to the tip of the tail is approximately 26 cm.

There is a pamphlet included in the set with the assembling instructions and on the other side of it, an image of a feathered Velociraptor completed with some information on the species, but since it's in Russia (?) I unfortunately don't know what it's saying.

Other available sets are;

Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Carnotaurus, Parasaurolophus *, Pteranodon, Spinosaurus *, Stegosaurus, Stygimoloch *, Styracosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex *

* = want one!
