2007 TMNT Foot Ninja

When I spotted this guy lying in a box at the flea market I thought at first that he was some sort of Snake-Eyes action figure. Upon closer examination you can tell he isn't Snake-Eyes, but I still might not have known who he was had he not been lying on top of Casey and April.

But the association made it clear he's a Foot Ninja from the 2007 cgi animated TMNT movie.

I found the Foot Ninja with his sheath attached and the hockey stick looking weapon (now arming Casey) jammed in it. It took a lot of patience (and hot water) to get the weapon dislodged, but since it probably would have been lost otherwise I won't complain. April had one of his swords in her sheath when I found her, so they will have to share.

Sadly there were no other weapons in the pile of toys, but finding these three characters and getting them all for less than three bucks was a pretty sweet score.

I really like the alien aesthetic of this Foot Ninja, and I think he's my favorite of the three.

Flea Market Haul!

I didn't make it to SDCC this year, so instead I went to my local flea market (yeah, small consolation!)

But hey, I did at least come away with a handful of fun toys to be reviewed more closely (or not) in the coming weeks.

Starting from the top:

Battle Cat. He's a little scuffed up but isn't broken or chipped, and for a dollar I can't pass up a Battle Cat even if he's sans armor.

Middle row:

Spongebob and Patrick Imaginext figures. I hate the Spongebob cartoon - mostly because his voice makes me want to kick puppies. But I like the character designs and the Imaginext aesthetic, and for a quarter each, I couldn't say 'no.' They will either be absorbed into my intern's collection or be traded off anyways.

April O'Neil, Foot Ninja and Casey Jones from the 2007 TMNT CGI animated flick. It's funny that exactly one week ago John of Robot Monster Space Superhero posted his score of a complete TMNT Casey Jones and today I find three figures from the line, including Casey! Sadly mine is missing his hockey mask, but I will just consider him an unmasked variant until I can get my hands on his mask.

Bottom row:

A rubbery (possibly squeak toy) Rocket J. Squirrel. I need to do some digging to find out the details on this guy, what he is and when he's from, but he's old (at least from the 70s I reckon) and I do love me some Rocky the Flying Squirrel!

Next are three LEGO minifigures. Obi Wan (sans hair, but that's ok, I have a grey hairpiece somewhere) and a couple random characters, one with a female head which are always a plus.

And last nut not least, Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia. My intern was way less interested in this figure than I expected her to be, but then again she had just gotten herself a Cinderella doll when I spotted this one.

Not a bad haul - and I got it (and my intern's Cinderella doll) all for less than ten bucks!

But still, I'd rather be at SDCC. Oh well, maybe next year!
