Flea Market Finds

Took my intern to the Flea Market yesterday, and even though the pickins were pretty slim (did everyone think it was going to rain or something? Because it didn't!) we came away with some fun stuff for CHEAP!

For five bucks we came away with an original '88 soft-head Splinter (fortunately I have his robe and belt from a previous flea market TMNT accessory haul), a Space Usagi that will be going to a fellow toy blogger in a trade, Masters of the Universe Roboto, Hero World Cyborg, a TOMY wind-up Donald Duck, a traveling Smurf with bindle, a DUPLO goat and an Imaginext ankylosaurus.

A silly assortment of bits and bobs that made for a day full of fun for my intern and I!

    That's a great little haul. I always did like that Space Usagi. You could almost use him as an evil, alternate reality version of the ninja rabbit.

      I'll check out your new site! As for Roboto: yes, mine is that way too. The first time I ever saw a MOTU figure with that issue I thought a kid had taken a marker to it. I now know it's a condition of the plastic/paint that some figures suffer from.

      It may have something to do with the red paint Mattel used back then.Marvel Secret Wars Daredevil had that same issue..

    Anytime I see someone with a TMNT find, I'm a happy dude.
