Flea Market Finds- She-Ra, M.A.S.K figures, and Battle Beast

This past Saturday, was a great day at the flea market.  I have kind of given up on the Goodwill lately.  It is having a summer time drought.

At the flea market though, there  were about 10 different sellers with booths full of toys.  What was interesting was the huge amount of TMNT collections that were for sale this week. We stopped and looked at them, but  I can't decide if I want to add more to my TMNT collection or not.   Some figures are really cool while others are just meh.   So while I passed on the TMNTs, I did pick up these items.


First up,  She-Ra figures.   This is the first time I have ever really found She-Ra figures outside of a  con.   They just don't seem to turn up often at the flea market.  For $6, I got a Beau who is really rough, Glimmer, and Catra.   The Double Trouble pictured with the group came from our trip last week to Fanboy Expo but is lined up to get cleaned with the rest of her friends.

I love these figures!  First off, they are colorful and well sculpted.  Beau looks like a miniature Ken doll.   Double Trouble has a spin wheel in her back to change her face.  I am hoping to find some accessory pieces, I would really love to find Catra's skirt.




I also picked up 3 MASK figures ( Iguana, Alex Sector, Nash Gorey)  I had Condor when I was a kid.  Hopefully, it will get unearthed in the great attic clean out.   I used to love this cartoon when I was younger. It was the first cartoon that was on after school.  It had one of the best cartoon intros ever!  Why aren't cartoons like this anymore?



My last purchase of the day was another Battle Beast.   I really don't remember these from when I was a kid. I picked up a few at the Goodwill and ever since then, when I see them I pick them up.    I love little figures like these for their great details.   This is #18  Rubberneck Giraffe.

Hasbro's Fan Built Bot


For all you Transformer fans, if you haven't heard about this. Hasbro just recently 
announced that it will be giving kids and 
Transformer fans the opportunity to make the 
"Fan Built Bot".   
Votes will determine everything from the character being an Autobot or Decepticon to its vehicle or other mode, color, personality and more.  Fans will also be given the opportunity to have a say in the naming of the new character.   So, if you are a Transformer fan, vote daily.   

The results will be announced by Hasbro at 
this year's San Diego Comic Con as part of 
the official kick-off to Hasbro's 
Transformer's Thrilling 30 Anniversary.  

The "fan built bot" will be available for purchase as toy and will see the new character
 appear in the Transformers comic book.

Thrift Find: Hasbro Battle Beast

I found these little figures today.   I thought that my son might enjoy them.    I researched them and found that they are called Battle Beast made by Hasbro in the 1980s.  

They originated in Japan and then marketed in America. The line was actually a spin off of Transformers.    Each figure has a symbol earth, wood, or fire and could be used to play a rock, paper scissors type game.

There are 4 series of Battle Beast.  Series 1-3 are numbered 1-76.    The Battle Beast pictured are: #6.  Triple Threat Snake,  #16. Sly Fox, and #33. Major Moose.

You can check out all of the Battle Beast on Toy Archive.   There are several that I would love to find.  I especially love # 41,22, 18.

Grand total for these little guys.  $.75
