TMNT Eve: Finding Figures Friday

When I go on adventures to find toys and nostalgic items, it's getting really hard to find Turtles. I thought it was the resurgence of the new TMNT wave but I am starting to think that it is just the pure love for these old Playmate Toys.

Today I got lucky.

Goodwill Grabs: August Monsoon edition

While I don't know if I announced it in this blog, I should mention that I have had some issues updating and writing because my wife and I are currently expecting a child in February. Leap Day nonetheless. Yep, poor little duder is going to miss out on his or her birthday 3 out of 4 years.

At any rate, I am a complete whore for kids' books now at Goodwill as this is something that I had started BRIEFLY before we found out the news. Now, I pick up any book that looks cool and is something that I can either see myself reading to them as a goodnight book or something that I want to pass along to them.

Also, Salvation Army had books for $0.10 a book but because of me being a book whore, it's now a quarter. Damn.

Most of my Goodwill grabs will detail some books that I have found in my journeys and are complete AWESOME.

Now let's get all Reading Rainbow on your ass....

Non-GB Collection: TMNT Shelf!

Just like any 90s kid, I had an army of Playmate Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and cohorts. These guys are so wacky and colorful that I had to regain some of my favorite characters again. With names like Dirtbag, Muckman, Wyrm, and Wingnut, the cohorts are some of my favorites.

While none are really complete and some are in bad shape, it's a bang up shelf of memories for me and something that I don't mind if my soon to be born child plays with. After all, these guys made afternoons fun for me back in the 90s.

I am looking to help complete my collection so any duplicates out there in other collections are welcome a home on this shelf!
