β€œWow, none of this was here when I lived here. I’m talking yeaaars ago.”

Just realized we don’t have to work at The Onion to make some fake headline jokes that mainly pertain to folks that come into the shop. So here ya go!

This account may just turn into small business satire once we run out of toys to sell. Sorry!

It’s been a while since we’ve pulled one of these out of storage for you fine folks. Looks like we have two left so let’s get homed, shall we?
Vintage 1992 mail away Bozo plush with coloring book to promote Bozo peanut butter. Comes new in the mailer box with a long-expired coupon that you should absolutely try to redeem at a grocery store for an item that hasn’t been in production for over 30 years. Please film your interaction.

Get one of these for $40 in the shop. Add another $8 to ship in the states using the same mailer box.

I think β€œtoy selfies” is my favorite medium.
Got another one of these 18” super-articulated 2003 Spider-Man 2 figures in the shop again. Apparently the head being fairly loose is common because this one and the one we had in here before this one both had loose head/neck joints. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I’m sure there’s ways to combat that, but we will leave that up to whoever ends up buying this. Come and get him so he’ll give me back my phone!

Working on sorting over 100 β€˜modern era’ 4” G.I. Joes, and while we do, here’s a handful of our favorites.

⚑️ The Dreadnoks!⚑️

Some of these were hard to come by, released in a multipack on BBTS. Some of those face sculpts look familiar… πŸ€”

These are in-store only for the moment. Not looking to ship any of these newer goobers.
Weird saying β€œnewer” and the most recent figure out of these came out 15 years ago.

The β€˜Toy de Jour Zodiac’ is the only way to really know who you (and others) are as a person.
What does your Toy de Jour sticker say about you?? And do you happen to own the sticker that applies to your birth month?

Our new sticker (September) is available now and as usual, it’s free with any purchase. Just remind us if we forget, cause we DO be forgettin’.

It was nice to do a new sticker based on our original logo (designed by Sean Dove) since we haven’t utilized it in a while.

Come and get one! 🫟🎨

Got a new Robot Master (Gemini Man - swipe to see him at the end) added to the lineup yesterday thanks to Chris Orta at SUNFLOWER TATTOO β˜€οΈ and as one does when sitting/laying for a session, I ended up staring at the ceiling for the bulk of the time.

Luckily the smart butts at Sunflower had the foresight to hang a bunch of their art on the ceiling including this bat piece by Chris, and these two stellar pieces by Jose (oinkz_) that I absolutely enjoy spending my painful time looking at.

It wasn’t until this trip that I finally spotted something familiar in Chris’s bat. If you look at it flipped upside down, you may spot Eterina’s King of the Underseas: Mer-man.
πŸ‘€πŸ§œπŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ”±πŸŸ

I know it wasn’t intentional, but I was happy to spot ol’ fish-face none the less. πŸ˜…

Anyway, go see Chris or Jose or any of the other talented folks at Sunflower if you need a spot to lay down for a couple hours and look at some art. πŸŒ»πŸ™Œ
