I had another couple of successful couple weeks finding vintage toys, as well as a selection of modern toys, in my local charity shops and a carboot sale. Finds include Barbie, Beano, Care Bears, Dragon Flyz, Glo Friends, Masters Of The Universe, MegaMan, Moon Cat, Mr Men, Pony Club, Sooty, Star Wars, Trolls and Weebles.
Modern toy finds include Barbie, Cry Babies, Emoji, Fighting Fantasy, Fortnite, Hatchimals, Hello Kitty, Jurassic Park, Monster High, Monsters Inc., Pikmi Pops, PJ Masks, Postman Pat, RainbowCorn, Transformers and some doll clothes.
PLUSH
Dennis The Menace is HUGE! The little vintage bears are keepers (I used to have lots very similar as a child, but they fell apart from play). I may keep Mr Bump as I do love the Mr Men. The Rainbocorns, Pikmi Pops and Jurassic Park plushies will be resold.
DOLLS
I found three vintage Barbie dolls including “Pearl Beach Barbie” (wrong outfit), “Florida Vacation Barbie” (wrong outfit) and “Class of 1997 Barbie” (correct outfit). I also found a Dreamtopia merman Ken and “Life In The Dreamhouse” Teresa wearing “Magic of Pegasus – Rayla the Cloud Queen” dress.
BOOKS
I can never remember what Ladybird books I already own as I have so many, so may well have some of these already. I found two Glo Friends books (“Glo Bug” and “Glo Butterfly“), two Masters Of The Universe books (“Catra’s Ice Palace” and “The Iron Master“) and a “Meet the Care Bears” mini-book. The Fighting Fantasy book (“The Port of Peril“) is a 2017 reprint with new (and far less wonderful) illustrations. I also found a Monster High coin purse (keeping).
FIGURES
The dirty little clown, Weebles plane, Sooty egg cup and Mr Noisy pin badge are keepers, along with Star Wars “Nien Nunb” and Dragon Flyz “Peak” figures. I’ve never come across a MegaMan figure before, this one being “WindblastMan“.
I may keep the “Turn ‘n Twist” skateboarding troll by Russ, but will be reselling the Magic Troll Babies figure and three Pony Club horses. At the carboot I found a bundle of 35x mini Hatchimals and various Kinder figures (Hello Kitty, Emoji and a few mini animals) plus a My Little Pony, Puppy In My Pocket and Rainbocorns.
These figures will all be resold when I’ve found enough others from each set to make small bundles (PJ Masks, Postman Pat, DC Batman, Cry Babies and Transformers).
These three guys are keepers (Fortnite and Monsters Inc.)!
