Wish List: Custom Action Figures

So there is quite a buzz surrounding one particular ebay seller. He's done a phenomenal job at not only sculpting these 80's throw backs, but packaging them as well. Each figure sells for between $35-$60, but just remember these are more like works of art then toys or even collectibles. 

Check out popsfartberger ebay store and see what's left here.

Check out below some of his awesome creations.

Another artist I have admired for some time is YokaiJohn on etsy.com check out his store here for awesome one of a kind creations. Look below for a sample of some of his outstanding work.

Yep, the coolest salt and pepper shakers you're ever likely to see 

Dollar SCORE

It's been a while since my last SCORE post. Well I'm in the middle of a financial crunch at the moment, but that doesn't mean I can't find a good SCORE here and there. Recently I visited two different dollar store's. One where everything was a buck, and a Dollar General where everything is ridiculously cheap. 

I actually scored some cool stuff, see below. As always click for a bigger picture.

Thin Plastic Zombie Mask. Brought to us by the fine Mexican company El Cheapo

My two Terrifying Sons modeling them

They had these cool Masked Luchador toys for a buck a piece

Check out the Mexi-Mullet!

This Werewolf bust was in the Halloween section and called for
me to buy him.

--------------------

So the Dollar General had a bin of movies, I actually found some decent stuff for $3
a piece!

Love Ranch

The Crazies (2010)

Survival Of the Dead

So why so cheap? Take a look at the copy above the bar code it says:
"Previously Viewed"
They're all Ex-Rentals!

Book: Prison Ship by Michael Bowers

So why buy a book from the dollar store, I mean how good could it be?
Well it hearkens back to the day of the dime store novel, that and
as my son pointed out the guy on the cover is holding a badly painted "NERF" gun you can
get at Toy's R Us! 

Random Picture Time

SCORE: Vans and Hellcats

The end of last week I bought some stuff online, the first of that stuff came in today. Have a look.

I'm just about ready to start tearing into my van, so what better place to
find inspiration for a custom interior than Van magazines from the
70's? I got these on ebay as usual, they sold for their normal going price
between $ 8- $10. I only buy four of these at a time. I just can't justify
spending $50 on magazines at any given time. 

The MPC Sunrunner Model Kit. It's a 1977 Ford just like mine!

Scored this from an amazon.com marketplace
seller for $5, sealed.

SCORE: Japanese Toy Fun

Just got a nice sized order of Japanese toys, via a Hong Kong toy store. Don't worry nothing bootleg here.

A very cool detailed Jason Voorhees action figure from Revoltech. Check out the details, looks so good I couldn't bring myself to open it up.

A few post down I ranted a little about Nerd Goddess Ami Tokito. This is a figure of said AV Star in a skimpy bikini that you can change into different outfits. The funny thing is this very juvenile "girlish" toy is targeted towards her adult male fans. What kind of a horny fan boy would buy such a thing.... 

Set comes with two different glasses

The Gang Is All Here

Super awesome score! It's a big rig that transforms into...

Mecha Mickey! 

Somewhere between the absolutely
Stupid looking aliens in Dr. Who and Star Trek
are the Ultraman Monsters 

Jason Voorhees Teddy Bear
