Some “Old” Werebears fan art that I never shared here I think this says a lot about which werebear is my favorite 😭

This picture fills me with intense cuteness aggression

A glorious return! Zac’s been busy lately- hence the lack of posts- but one finally snuck through! A bit small, but as we’ll see, this one has some great stuff. Critters actually bring a solid 5 newbies alongside the usual Tooly Birds and Gokey (Kong Charm is at least uncommon, and in local sports colors to boot). The orange monkey and red fish are “vintage German”, which is a bit of a wide umbrella. Hard plastic and downright charming. The crab and lobster are Hong Kong vinyls, and the lobster at least is still out there in an enlarged form. If you came here from IG (apparently Zac added a link- thanks, dude!), you may remember him puzzling over this one. With the aid of a magnifying glass, I managed to make out the tiny tiny cursive Bahlsen on the belly, which pegs this as a ‘99 release from the Arctic Animals collection. Apparently they were packed with cookies or somesuch. Wow, that’s a lot of keshi. Five Kin-knockoff-men, including the title character, are joined by another Lucky Yucky. This one is called Fire Dragon, and will grant any wishes that don’t involve fire, since fire safety is his primary concern. No idea which Kitaro character he was originally, though. Gumby has been a mainstay, but that ancient Dracula finger puppet definitely isn’t. Delightfully cheap looking and just plain silly, it’s a great accent anywhere you have a 2-inch bare spot. The baby is another German oldie, with an oddly short right leg. Miscellany are a pair of 90s monster pins, featuring the horrifying Mad Marvin, a pair of totems (that sky blue is pretty rare, actually), and a bootleg Spiny figurine. That last one is a rare treat; my last one was a Bowser a couple years back. Finally, Arts. The stickers are nothing new (although they do kick ass), but I got two new sculptures! On the left is Muck Monster, a digitally downsized version of a glorious beastie I would not have been able to justify normally. Dripping with slime and bearing at least four friends, he’s looking great at MMM scale. Alien Dog appears to be a tattoo flash in three dimensions, which is fun. It’s begging for paint, but I’d have to learn airbrushing to really make it pop, so grey it remains. The pin is fun. I know nothing of Bite Society, but I do love unusual fish, even if this one looks more like part of a freshwater angelic choir than the real thing. Perhaps that was the intent. Anyhoo, Greasy Creeps, baby. Good stuff every time; I personally landed 8 or 9 keepers here. If monthly boxes aren’t your thing, man’s got a store. Get on it! https://greasycreeps.storenvy.com/

The last of my My Little Pony doodles! May do more another time tho. This is Minty and Firefly from the 80s toyline/cartoon, sort of in the Friendship is Magic style.

The USS Flagg: The Aircraft Carrier That Ruled Every Kid’s Imagination There are big toys, and then there is the USS Flagg. Anyone who grew up with G.I. Joe in the 1980s knows exactly what I mean. The Flagg was not just a playset. It was a monument. A plastic titan. A seven‑and‑a‑half‑foot aircraft carrier that dominated living rooms, basements, and the dreams of every kid who ever flipped through a Sears catalog. The USS Flagg was the crown jewel of the G.I. Joe:… The USS Flagg: The Aircraft Carrier That Ruled Every Kid’s Imagination

Went on a 1-day trip and as we usually do when we go on excursions, we hit up antique and vintage stores. No ponies this time but I finally splurged and bought this bright birdie after passing her up at an antique store last year. I figured if a whole year went by and no one else wanted her she was meant to be mine. 💕 and there was a 15% off sale so that didn’t hurt.

My other vintage toy find of the day was a pair of very cute Pixietails (Lady Lovely Locks)-/ they’re lil duckies! 💕

ALT Yum Yum hopes your day is perfectly sweet!
