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. *_*

Tsum Tsum

I never intended to buy a Tsum Tsum, mainly because I thought they only made characters out of Disney movies and I'm not that big of a Disney fan. Then I learned that Star Wars Tsum Tsum actually exist, which means I at least have to buy one of them, a certain red-black faced fellow..... and so I did. ^_^

Since Finland is such a backwater country that they don't sell any SW Tsums here (as far as I know) I had to order them from the UK. The Darth Maul Tsum Tsum was a must for me, but why not buy a another character for the same shipping cost? First, my gut instinct was to get Obi-Wan Kenobi, but I took one look at Qui-Gon Jinn's mean little eyes and I knew he was the one I needed to get. I suppose I have to get a Kenobi sooner or later, otherwise my "Duel of the Fates" is incomplete.

Three labels sewn into them. I hate those things.

I know I can only blame myself for not "researching" this stuff beforehand. When the duo finally arrived, I was a little disappointed over how small they were. I was expecting them to be closer to the size of a Guinea pig, but instead I got plushies in hamster size. I could have saved myself from the disappointment if I had bothered to convert the inches into centimeters, but I didn't. Boohoo for me.

And another thing I'm slightly annoyed of. It might not translate well into the pictures, but little plush Maul's face is a little uneven. Most of the stuffing has been packed on the other side, leaving the other half of the face somewhat flat. I've tried to shuffle the insides, but not much improvement has been made.

The last thing I'm annoyed about is that the price of these little thing's shipping cost was more than the total of the product themselves. That is bullsh*t. But hey, you want it? You got to pay for it.

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.

For a change, here's a picture post of my latest treasure findings from various second hand stores. These are my personal highlight of my lootings. So many lovely  toys! <3

It's risky to buy used puzzles, because there's usually always that one piece missing, but I got lucky three times! I found a super cute 60 pieced My Little Pony puzzle (1989, Holland) in excellent condition and two Moomin puzzles!  The smaller one has 20 wooden pieces (1992) and the other has 140 (made in West Germany). I find those animated dolls very creepy.

My google search is telling me this thing is called Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus Groom and Glam Styling Head Brietta. It's really big and I like the details on it, like the wings and the necklace. I'm thinking it would be really fun to customize this thing!

G1 My Little Ponies Blossom -82 (Italy), Tickle -84 and a McDonald's pony from 1999. As far as my research can tell me the purple saddle and the white hat originally belong to something called Pretty Parlor playset.

Monster High Create-a-Monster Ice girl with Blob girl's wig & dress and also the mermaid tail from Siren Add-on pack. I forgot to add the Blob girl's dress in the first picture so I put it there on the side when I tried the fin on the Ice girl now with another CAM wig on, just to see how it looks.

Nyx? She-Spawn? I'm not really sure what the first character is supposed to be called, all I know is, she has skulls for breasts and that's good enough for me!  The tiny dinosaur reminds me so much of Masashi Tanaka's Gon, but I doubt it's really him, it has no markings besides "made in china". I'll probably donate Luigi to a friend because I don't really care for Mario Bros. I was so happy to find classic Ash Ketchum in this good condition and a very good price!

Schleich Spinosaurus 2007, the paint is a little worn out on the tip of the tail and the upper jaw. I've always admired the Schleich dinosaurs, but never actually bought one before now. The T.Rex (Early Learning Centre, Watford, England) is nice and big, I was mainly thinking about repainting this one as well.

Schleich's Bayala/Arelan bear riding Torak  figure. I can't remember anymore which one I found first, the bear without the rider or with the rider? The funny thing is, I found these in two separate stores that were right next to each other. Don't care much for the rider, but the bears look awesome!

Bought a small bag filled with small toy animals and these foxes stood out from the rest. The small one is your regular china animal, but I've never seen a fox before just the standard farm animals, so that's what makes it special for me. The two big ones are made by Procon (2006).

Action Man Urban Mission's Robot dog (2000). I was really disappointed that there wasn't much more information about this thing. It's big and cool looking! Being a robot makes it very unique from all other toy dogs. Henceforth you shall be named Terminator dog (because of the red eye)!

Kiara plush from the Lion King and a brand new Gomamon plush with its tag still intact albeit a little faded! Oh, and a chibiesque Taichi!

Maggie!! Finally! Now I'm only missing Lisa! I'm so happy! :D Also got  a Pumba and Simba for my small PEZ dispenser collection.

Finally, we have the one who everybody love to hate: Jar Jar Binks! I think I already own the smaller one from before. Actually, no I  don't. I just checked. The bigger Jar Jar has a suction cup on the backside and that hole in his tongue, so I'm guessing it's meant to be holding something? Like a toothbrush maybe?

Mushroom minions?

Finnish edition of Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated by Tove Jansson. I have a faint memory that I may have seen parts of the Disney movie a long time ago, and already as a kid did it feel too trippy to the point that I was getting nauseous. I've stayed clear from anything Alice related since then.... until now. I'm halfway through the book and thus far, the Cheshire cat is the only thing I like about this book, besides the illustrations of course. Yeah, I don't care for the story really, I just wanted it for Tove's illustrations! <3

My first initial reaction to this was that this has to be a bootleg, but no, it still has a tag on its butt that reads Doraemon with copyright markings and a 7 - Eleven logo. After a little bit of google searching, I found this image with what looks to be a similar plush along with other characters from the series. Picture from: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/arjin/3871393216/

I wish this one could talk. I wanna know what it has been sitting on top of, because clearly it has been broken off something..... Something you can wear around your neck. First thing that comes to my mind would be one of those plastic,waterproof coin holders (or whatever these things are called) for some reason. Anyway, Gomamon was in a pretty rough shape at first glance, but after I removed the excess stuff and gave it a wash, it doesn't look too bad at all. ^_^

On Toad's butt it says Made for McDonald's 2013. I wonder why I bought these? 8D I don't even like Mario games that much....

 

These two Shaman King mini figures (originally surprise gifts from chocolate Easter eggs) and these 90's pacifier necklaces were in a box among other things, left out in the rain and it looked like it was about to be thrown in the trash. So, I "saved" them, the pacifiers for the nostalgia's sake and the shamankings just because of my "hey, that's anime! you can't throw that away!" -mentality (even if they aren't that pretty to look at).

Just because I want to repurpose/repaint it into something else. Don't know exactly what yet...

Total cost of all items: 3,00 €
