Comic Odyssey's August Sale

Enjoy discounts on toys for the entire month of August at the Comic Odyssey All-Out Sale! Hmmm I wonder how much they'd slash off an Amecomi.....

The Crazy Cat Lady

Yes, I ended up buying it! As if there was any doubt that I wouldn't. I saw this Crazy Cat Lady action figure about two weeks back at one of the discount toy stores  I frequent. I decided to pass and wait until after Toycon  to decide on buying it, since I've already purchased vinyl toys.

A day after Toycon, I went back to the store to see if it was still there,  and bought it. Originally, this came in a blister pack with an illustrated card, but this one was sold without the card.  Here's what it looks like in it's original packaging.

The figure is about 5-1/4 inches tall and comes with six cats. The figure is dressed in stereotypical "crazy cat lady" garb-- a ratty old robe, wild hair , soft padded slippers and a checkered pajama bottoms. It has a bit of articulation so you can bend it's knees, waist and arms. Manufactured by Accoutrements , this action figure retails for about $10.00 online. The store was selling it for Php 70.00, but since haggling is allowed at the store, I asked for a better price and got it for only Php 50.00! Talk about a steal!

I'll post photos of the figure out of it's pack soon.

How To Survive a Con

Since the 9th Philippine Toycon is just days away,  I decided to put together a "Con Survival Guide" of sorts that is based on my personal experience. I've gone to few cons since I've gotten into collecting, and these have gotten me through every single one.

Tips after the jump.

I'm Back With New Toy Finds

It's been a while since I last posted here. I've been busy with other things and frankly, I didn't know what direction to take with this blog. So here I am, months later, and still clueless as to how I'm going to make this work. I guess I'll just start by posting more.

Let me start with my newest finds. I found these vinyl toys at 2 of my favorite toy haunts. These are approximately 3 inches high. There were many to choose from, but I initially got just these two. There are four more that I've been thinking of getting, but I'm putting it off for a bit until after Toycon.

These came loose so I don't know what line these came from. The sales ladies at both stores also do not know what line or label these came from. An internet search came up inconclusive. I'm sure someone out there knows what these toys are. 

Care to ID these for me?
