The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Thread

Finally found sentry robot M4 and Harry Mudd...

Also a bonus Shatner...

...thus my collection of Star Trek dolls is complete! Further dress-up reports to follow.

Bif Bang Pow's faux Mego Twilight Zone dolls, with special focus on the Invader and Henry Bemis.

 

Rode the ol' bike a few miles today so that I didn't have to wait until Monday to meet this guy:


Barney Hiller nee Miller* and astronaut Steve, the last two fellas I needed for my SMDM crew. 13 million, plus expenses.**



*The SEVEN Million Dollar Man!
**Not adjusted for inflation.

Bif Bang Pow's fake Mego Six Million Dollar Man dolls, including their 4th Mt. Austin.

 

Look WHO showed up in my garden!




K-9 and Leela will be beside themselves! I'm a little worried he might be deaf, though, as R2 was chirping at him like crazy...

Okay, ball pretty much dropped on the whole Star Wars pretense. Real talk? Tom here was the last DW toy that I had left to chase.

Who says real talk? I feel 85% dumber even having invoked it as a joke.

Bif Bang Pow's Fourth Doctor, Dalek and Tardis. Mego-ish, as ever.

 

I will forego criticism of any quadruple posting for valid toy shares.

Surely though, with all of these new dollies clogging up your spare space in your new place, not to mention other items of [re]discovered miscellany and arcania, you must be running out of room to have any stupid plastic, undetailed, non-clothed, ugly monsters and rubber men around.

 

What remains of the surprise package of pickled fruit that I received the other day:

Courtesy of my old friend Kidshow, now a South Dakotan mother of three.


Mint's just a quick crawl around the corner, JP, and don't be silly, pH!

 

Shoot Anthony, that is a great mail day. Both those mooks look amazing, and I really appreciate the additional photos from inside Yuji's collection of treasures. Excellent buys on the two soundtracks too, I know these can get ridiculously expensive sometimes, and the art on the covers for each of them alone is well worth an investment. A very excellent non-toy bundle, as good as can be.

 

Once you've SHAT your money...



...you really can't unshit it. Beautiful haul, Anthony; I really need to remember how to spend correctly.

Bif Bang Pow!'s Twilight Zone biz again - A Mystic Seer... bobblehead??? Also Don Carter and Bob Wilson. Not Megos at all. OH... Bill Shatner!

 

Postal inspector:

I feel for whomever it was that got the short end of the stick on this mass delivery, but hey - It's not my fault that a conspiracy was formed between the glacial pace of Media Mail and the annual arrival of yet another national holiday.

Had every intention of a show-and-tell shoot, but the sudden rain nixed that little project...

This fella is waterproof, though:

Strangest arrival of the year, all things considered.

Pibbs remains unconvinced.

 

A wee bit of painted, Kusogon-shaped resin crawled into my part of Michigan today:



I think he thinks he's blowmolded. And ancient.
