My Post Cereal Bobblehead Collection

I'm not even sure how many I still need to complete the collection. I have to go back and research but I think there were 2 series'. There was a time when cereals put  quality premiums in their boxes. Not anymore. I bought a box of Corn Flakes the other day because of the supposed free book ( Berenstein Bears: Back To School) included. I thought my 2 year old nephew would get a kick out of it. Turns out you have to go online, scan some qr barcode and bring in your receipt in order to obtain your copy. I could just as easily purchase one off the rack in half the time. Damn you Corn Flakes for getting my hopes up. Maybe I should have "read" the box more closely. Ironic. 


It also occurred to me, shortly after taking this pic, that the portrait I have the figures displayed on is  pre 9/11. I was going to post a couple of days ago but decided against it. I'm all for remembrance, but totally against the way the media likes to MK Ultra it into our brains.  This is how I like to remember NYC anyways.

    I'm not a huge Honey Combs guy, but I'd buy them if they started putting baseball bobbleheads into their boxes again.

    A new series of Post bobbleheads would be insane!

    I don't remember this promotion, but that was a pretty cool premium. I don't eat cereal anymore, but did like Honey Combs way back when, and was a big fan of their WWF posters premium that they did somewhere around 1990.

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...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
