Strange Friends

Strange isn't the word!I was excited to find these three carded figures in the prize box I recently won from The Toy Box.Strange Friends Is an Archie McPhee  toy line  that is sure to have you saying "WTF!?!" Are they people wearing animal masks?Are they animals wearing a human costume?Does Yuji eat from the hands of the people feeding the pigeons?Inquiring minds want to know!


I don't plan on unboxing these,at least not any time soon.The cardbacks are so crispy clean that I may have to hang them  on my wall.They really are a sight to behold.You can't  quite understand them yet you can't look away.Throw all logic out the window people,I present to you ....

STRANGE FRIENDS!

    Two gorgeous blondes playing Crazy Train on harps is pretty crazy... but these figures take the cake. I've purchased trading card from Archie McPhee. Might need to see if they still have any of these figures. They'd make great conversation pieces for my classroom.

    They are by far the weirdest items in my collection.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
