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. *_*

Super Snadi Stuff


The stuff brought back home from the Old Toy Swap~ <3

The first issue of the Jurassic Park comic, based on the first movie. Some of the characters look nothing alike their movie counterparts and there's something really awkward about Alan Grant in particular... The comic ends when the characters are about to meet the sick Triceratops.

Jurassic Park baby T-Rex! If you look closely you can see that there is a bandage sculpted onto the leg. I didn't even notice it at first! Furthermore, I found a bootleg and a genuine Chap Mei T-Rex, it doesn't take much to figure out which one of them is the bootleg, observing the quality of the eye paint in particular.

Some dog figures for me to repaint, actually I haven't done that in a while..... I should probably get on to it, those dog figures are starting to pile up. The one on the far left I thought for sure would be an American Akita, but it turns out it's actually supposed to be a Husky. I've never seen a Husky looking like that. Left to right we have "Shogun" the Husky (seriously? a Husky!?), "Sparky" the Dalmatian made by TOPPS, a German Shepherd by Safari Ltd. and finally a Collie by unknown manufacturer (Hong Kong).

MLP G1 Daffodil, the snow horse from Moomin (missing its tail), workhorse with no markings (Britains Ltd. Clydesdale?) and two carousel ponies that I wish I knew what they were a part of.

Moominmamma, Prison guard (? I forgot this dude's name) and a Tokyo MewMew minifigure.


Star Wars and Moomin PEZ candy dispensers. This was literally the first seller's table I stopped by and he had it all, but luckily my conscience wouldn't let me spend all my money when there still was at least 84 other merchants' inventories left unchecked. So I picked the three SW characters I wanted the most and the Moomin ones came as a package. After my purchase, the dealer then asked me if I was a PEZ collector and I told him "No, I just like collecting Moomin and Star Wars stuff". Then he gave me a look that told me he thought I must have some screws loose. What, can't I like both? :D

Vulture Droid and "Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become."

Prepare for trouble and make it double! TLOTR Ringwraith (Nazgûl) and Team Rocket's James. Alright, I'll admit. I didn't know who or what that black cloaked figure was when I bought it. I had a suspicion of what it might be, but regardless, I think it looks insanely cool (like the Grim Reaper!) and therefore I must have it. 

I can't leave a miniature convention without buying something miniature, now can I?
Hmm, you can't really tell they are super small when there's nothing to give you a scale? My bad.
