Flea Market Hunting : Cobraaaaaaaa!!!!

Crobraaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

We scored these two retro Cobra figures from the 1980s. Sadly I don't remember their name but I do remember owning them as a kid. Cool figures and slowly but surely our G.I.Joe collection is growing.

YO JOE!

Flea Market Hunting : Star Wars

We got the original Kenner action figure of Luke Skywalker X-Wing pilot!

Never been a big fan of this figure. First he looks like everyone BUT Luke. This is one figure that even as a kid I rarely played with. Still we are happy to have found him... and for next to nothing.

Flea Market Hunting : The Brave and the Bold

This is our third Batmobile. I know its a little too much but we had to get it as it is simply too cool! Look at this beast! Superb! We love the details and especially its shape.

And here is a Batgirl figure we got at the flea market. Very cool look and silver suit.

Flea Market Hunting : Superman

We got this cool Superman action figure at the flea market. There are some green marks on him, probably kryptonite. Sadly we don't know from which collection it is from.

Anyone looking forward to the upcoming Man of Steel film?!

Flea Market Hunting : TMNT

We finally found a cool action figure of April O'Neil! This is the cool original retro look of April. This was actually the first time we saw her at the flea market for sale.

Getting more TMNT is one of our goal this summer!

Flea Market Hunting : Toxic Crusaders

Yes! We found another Toxic Crusaders action figure!!!

Junkyard is a cool figure. Just like the other Playmates Toxic Crusaders action figures, its highly detailed and colourful. Hopefully we will soon find more! Missing from the image below is of course our Toxic figure along with his motorcycle.

And here is the upcoming Lego Superman Black Zero Escape set (#76009).

Flea Market Hunting : Scooby Doo

So we finally found Daphne! Now all of the Scooby Doo friends are here... Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne, yeah!!!

Now we are missing the Mystery Machine and the monsters they released as part of this collection.

The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears in 1969.

Flea Market Hunting and retro Alien

Guess which hunt is back?!
Flea market hunting and that's where we are going!!!!

But before... here's one of our most anticipated collection of 2013 are the Super7 Alien figures!

In 1979, prototypes for 3 ¾” action figures for the ALIEN film were developed but never manufactured.  Through our network of industry and collector contacts, Super7 has unearthed reference material and original 34-year-old prototypes and will now make these “lost toys” a reality.

Under authorization from 20th Century Fox, Super7 will produce the full series of ALIEN toys as part of our ReAction Figure Series (Retro-Action).  Each is stylized exactly as items from the “golden age” of action figures with approximately five points of articulation, accessories, and period-authentic blister card packaging.

THE ALIEN ("BIG CHAP") - w/ removable transparent dome, extendable jaws and glow-in-the-dark head!

RIPLEY - w/ Flame Thrower

ASH - w/ Motion Detector

DALLAS  - w/ Flame Thrower

KANE IN NOSTROMO SPACESUIT - w/ removable helmet and transparent viso

Skylanders Giants

Isaac had some money of his so we went around looking for something new and cool to get. Well his choice ended up being on the Skylanders Giants video game, this time for the Nintendo 3DS.

He already own the first one on the PS3 but lately he's been on a big 3Ds kick. Overall its a cool game and all of the characters from the first game work with this new one. What's cool, is that all of the level up and upgrades he got in the first game transfered here!

Easter & Minecraft toys!!!

As you know, Easter just went by... this year Isaac was with me.

A few days before he asked me: "Daddy, where am I going to be at Easter? Here or with mom?"
I said: "Here my love"
And then he replied: "Cool, that means that Coco the Easter bunny will be here!"

Oups!

Didn't though of that...

Thankfully before Easter I quickly drew a map of our place for a treasure hunt of Easter eggs Coco the bunny had left during the night... Isaac loved it!

Amazing news!!! Mojang and Jazwares team up to build Minecraft toys!!!!

Minecraft was our #1 game of last year. In total we played for about 200 hours. Isaac and I are addicted to it. We wear t-shirt, owns vinyl toys, and play multi players online.

Minecraft developer Mojang partnered with toy manufacturer Jazwares to produce toys and electronics based on the popular blocky world-building game, according to a press release from Jazwares.

The worldwide agreement between the companies will first produce products like action figures, plush toys and papercraft, which will be available for the 2013 holiday season.

"We are excited by our new partnership with Jazwares," said Mojang CEO Carl Manneh. "This partnership will help give our community a new way to interact with the game they love."

Jazwares has produced products based on everything from Star Wars and WWE to video game properties like Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat. Last year, the company announced a partnership with PopCap Games to produce merchandise based on Plants vs. Zombies and Bejeweled.
