Flea Market Hunting: Aliens

We found another Aliens figure loosely based on the 1986 film from James Cameroun. Released by Kenner in 1992, this is the Bull Alien which has a "power-ram" feature. Its a cool and ugly looking alien.

Flea Market Hunting: Scooby Doo

Another very cool find at the flea market... our very first Scooby Doo action figures! Isaac loves Scooby Doo. Along with the original Godzilla movies, it was one of the first "horror" themed stuff he watched.

We found Fred, Scooby and Shaggy. Standing at about 5 inches tall, these are nice figure but with limited articulations. Hopefully we will find the other two soon...

Flea Market Hunting: Spider-man & Friends

We found another Spider-man & Friends figure! Captain America!!! As you might know, these Playskool figures are extremely hard to find, especially here! We got lucky again and found Capt! Our collection is slowly growing...

Flea Market Hunting: Ghostbusters

We found another monsters from The Real Ghostbusters collection. This zombie monster released by Kenner features hair raising up, arms reaching out and eyes spinning around. Its part of the very cool Monsters collection from which we are now only missing two!

Flea Market Hunting: Superman

We found an amazing action figure of Bizarro!

A grotesque imitation of Superman fashioned out of lifeless matter. Clad in an invulnerable costume just like Superman's and endowed with all of his mighty super-powers, Bizarro possesses a dim copy of Superman's super-keen mind.

His flesh is white, the color of chalk, and his face appears faceted, as though it had been chiseled out of rock. His black hair is matted and unkempt. He is well-meaning but witless, super-powerful but pathetic. His speech is illiterate and ungrammatical. Because Bizarro's mind is an imperfect imitation of Superman's, however, he is capable of flights of occasional super-genius. Because he possesses dim duplicate memories of all that Superman knows, he is well aware that Clark Kent is secretly Superman.

Unlike Superman, Bizarro is immune to green kryptonite, but like all Bizarro creatures, he is vulnerable to blue kryptonite.

Brought into being by an ingenious duplicator ray built by Lex Luthor, the renegade scientist who is Superman's bitterest enemy, Bizarro is only lifeless matter in human form - a thing composed of unliving matter. "Me not human... me not creature," moans Bizarro pathetically in July 1959, "... me not even animal!"

Flea Market Hunting: X-Men

Another X-Men we got at the flea market was Gambit. Released in the early 1990's by Toy Biz, this is not the best looking figure but Isaac was very happy to find it. This was part of the X-Men Animated Classics collection. Gambit has a power kick!

Flea Market Hunting: Masters of the Universe

We got a new Masters of the Universe action figure from the 2002 reboot from Mattel. Its another He-man. Since we already own another version of He-man, I wish we had find another character. But these are so rare around here that we couldn't pass and got it anyway... for only $2.

Flea Market Hunting: Batman

We finally got a Blue Beetle figure from the Batman The Brave and the Bold series. We had never seem it before. My guess is that this is from the Happy Meal released last summer. Sadly its missing its wings.

Flea Market Hunting: X-Men

Another X-Men action figure we got was the rather weird looking X-Men Monster Armor Mystique with Snap-On She-Beast armor. Released by Toy Biz in 1997, I seriously have no clue as to what they were thinking when they came up with the idea for such figure!

Flea Market Hunting: X-Men

During one of our last trip at the flea market we found lots of great action figures! First one was Pyro. He is part of the X-Men universe and even appeared in two of the live action film.

Pyro is a mutant who possesses the power to psionically control fire and flame, though not generate it. He wears a flame thrower on his back to provide the flame which he then takes control of.

This is a very cool figure released a few years ago by Toy Biz as part of the X-Men Classics Battle Pack: Fire and Ice.

On a side note... as you might have noticed, there is no update on the Montreal Comic Con. Why? After waiting in line for 2 hours we were told that there was no more place left inside! The saddest part... trying to explain why to my four years old.
