After work Target clearance score!

The exclusive "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3" Groot/Cosmo set was $6.89 (originally $22.99). I bought it for another Cosmo to paint in his blue/red "GOTG" uniform from the mid credits scene.

The 2 "Masters Of The Universe: New Eternia" Whiplash figures were $9.89 each (originally $32.99 each). I got them to be giant trolls for my fantasy figures.

The "Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" Holga was $7.49 (originally $24.99). I got her to be a huge female Troll for my fantasy figures.

Today's hauls!

The 12" scale Groot was $8.39 (originally $29.99). He will be customized into the giant "King Groot" version seen in the mid-credits sequence of "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3".

The 12" basic "Jurassic World" dinos were $10.99 each at Big Lots! I had given up hope of finding the 2023 releases from this subline so I was very happy to spot them on the shelf! I got 4 Scorpios Rex and 1 Concavenator.

The vinyl feathered Atrociraptors were from Walmart and were $1.97 each. This brings me to 49 of them!

The little crystal Halloween decoration was $15 at Spirit Halloween after my 20% off coupon. I plan on using it as some form of altar for my custom wizards.

The GITD skeletal arm tongs and spikey pumpkin teeth were $1.25 each at Dollar Tree. I LOVE glow in the dark stuff and try to get tons of them for future custom projects.

Came home from the 2023 International Toy Fair  in Manhattan to find that my Chap Mei Toys prize pack had arrived!

It contains limited edition items (lanyard, comic book and prismatic sticker sheet) promoting their new "A.C.I.D. VS B.E.T.A." science fiction toy line!

Great coverage of Toy Fair, Dan. Thanks for sharing. Did Nacel have any word on Power Lords,by any chance? I know they've got the rights.

No mention of it, sorry.

Thanks for the response. I was hoping they would do figures (they revealed some mock ups at Power Con '22), but it looks like original scale (5 or 6 inch). I was hoping they would do something compatible with the Four Horsemen  4 inch line (which was never finished  >:( - and honestly mishandled, though the product was excellent). But, alas...nothing at all apparently.

They have a lot on their plate already and only a small team. I am sure that they will get to them eventually if they paid the license fee.

Today's after work Bulington ("Lightyear") and thrift shop (BBI) scores!

The "Lightyear" set was $14.99. The smaller figurines are static, but look to be 3.75" scale so parts can be utilized for customs. The larger ones are really cool looking and 2 (Zerg, yellow robot, are articulated).

The BBI armored transport was $.99 and will be used as the base of either a custom vehicle or droid.

Cool finds! I've never seen that Lightyear set.

Today's $ Zone score!
The vinyl dinosaurs were $1.25 each and are bootlegs of Papo figurines. They are made of a rigid, yet hollow vinyl whereas the Papo originals are solid. They need repaints before they will join my display, but the molds themselves are great for the price!

Today's Walmart clearance score!

The "Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" Rakor was $19, down from the original $34.98. If they had more, I would have grabbed them as this is a GREAT price for a huge dragon action figure.
