We also got an old school Thundercats action figure, Tuska Warrior. Ok not the most exciting figure from that collection but still.
Tuska is a good guy and friend of the Thundercats. He originally came with a gun.
Some we are really looking for are Vultureman, Top Spinner, Snowman, Safari Joe, S-S-Slythe, Ratar-O, Ma-Mutt, Lynx-O, Hachiman, Cheetara and other!
A boy and dad passion for action figures.

Flea Market Hunting : TMNT
We got another TMNT action figure at the flea market, Walkabout the Kicking Kangroo from Down Under (as the original card said). Don't know anything about the character but at fifty cents we had to get it.

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10
The last Ben 10 we got at the flea market during our last trip there was this huge and wicked cool version of Big Chill.
This 6" figure is from the DNA Alien Heroes collection and goes for around $55 online! Crazy considering all of these Ben 10 figures we've talked about in the last few days costed us only $6 in total!

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10
We also got XLR8. The button on his back activates the water and propeller contained behind his transparent chest plate and features cool oozing DNA Slime bubbles. There are also wheels on his feet and tail. I have seen this action figure going for around $80 on Ebay and Amazon.

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10
We got another Ben 10 action figure that Isaac already got but it was so cheap that we bought it. He will also take this one to his mom's.
Upchuck, he is a Gourmand (from the French word "gourmet," meaning "one who enjoys fine food" or "glutton") from the planet Peptos XI ("Peptos" being the Greek word for "cooked" or "digested"). Its a big and cool looking figure.

Lego + Lego Star Wars
Isaac loves doing some new Lego creations. Its a great concept of toys that let him be creative and come up with some cool things.
The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (7 April 1891 – 11 March 1958), a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "Lego", from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well".
Here's a look at the soon to be release Lego Star Wars 2012 summer sets!

Grendizer and Captain Future
Found those two comic books, one if Goldorak (Grendizer) while the other is Capitaine Flam (Captain Future). These are based on probably my favourite TV shows as a kid.
UFO Robot Grendizer is a super robot TV anime and manga created by manga artist Go Nagai. It is the third entry in the Mazinger trilogy. It was broadcasted on Japanese television from October 5, 1975, to February 27, 1977, and lasted 74 episodes. The robot's first appearance in the United States was as a part of the Shogun Warriors line of super robot toys imported in the late 1970s by Mattel, then in Jim Terry's Force Five series, both under the title Grandizer. It is still widely popular in the Middle East, and it was especially popular in France and Quebec, as well as among French speaking Canadians where it was aired under the title Goldorak. In Italy, the series was as popular and known as Goldrake.
Captain Future is a science fictional hero pulp character originally published in self-titled American pulp magazines during the 1940s and early 50s. In 1978, one year after Hamilton's death, Toei Animation of Japan produced a Captain Future TV anime series of 53 episodes, based on 13 original Hamilton stories. Despite the strong cultural differences and the large gap between a literary work and animation, the series was close to the original in many ways, from the didactic scientific explanations to the emphasis on the usefulness of brains as opposed to brawn.
The series was translated in several languages and distributed globally. The four episodes comprising the series' second story arc were dubbed into English and released on video by ZIV International in the early 1980s as The Adventures of Captain Future. In the late 80s, Harmony Gold dubbed the series' initial four-part story as an edited "TV movie" simply entitled Captain Future.

Vintage Star Wars
Look at what I found! I guess I must have kept them all that time and didn't remember it. These are original cards. I still have all these action figures and more.
I remember as a kid, looking again and again at those cards to see which action figures I already owned and which ones I wanted next. Good times!
