Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 20: Tiny Nightmares Series 1 Insert and Wrapper

I picked up four mystery bags of Tiny Nightmares at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I gave two to my sister and kept two. I won't show or tell you what figures I got yet but I will show the insert and wrapper. The mystery figures that are available are shown to be Michael Myers from Halloween II, Annabelle, Pennywise from the It movie, Regan from The Exorcist, Stripe from Gremlins, Sam from Trick 'r Treat, Chucky from Child's Play 2 and Tiffany from Bride of Chucky. Seems like the theme of Series 1 was dolls since there three of them. I'm hoping to find Tiny Nightmares Series 2 and 3 at the local Dollar Tree for next year but I'm not holding my breath.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Eleven in Hospital Gown

The local stores still have the Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things eggs in stock. I picked up two of them a few weeks ago and got Lucas the basketball player again plus Eleven in hospital gown, which I didn't have. This series doesn't seem as popular as the Harry Potter series maybe because everybody keeps getting a Demogorgon.

Science Fiction Saturday: Lonja from Jakbat

Many moons ago, I created Lonja with the help of HeroMachine. I really didn't do much with her other than put her on my Moongem website. I forgot about her and never did a background story for her. The alien woman was never intended to be a character for Moongem Comics but I might have to change that.

Lonja from Jakbat Created with HeroMachine

Yesterday, I was playing around with Grok and created two action figures. The first one looks more like a figurine while the second one is a retro action figure. I like the first one better of the two.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Demogorgon Zipper Clip

I picked up four more of the Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things eggs a few weeks ago. The only new one I got was this Demogorgon zipper Clip. A lot of people of calling it a paperclip because of the flexible protuding clip sticking up out of the top. It makes a very poor paper clip and I'm not sure how well it actually works on a zipper. It can stand up on it's own and is only 1 1/2" tall.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Demogorgon Pencil Topper

My fourth and probably final Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC287, which was the Demogorgon pencil topper aka pencil accessory. You could probably also put on your straw and a tiny rubber band is also included. This might be the only Demogorgon toy I will ever get.

I'm not sure why there is a rectrangle hole in the back of this Demogorgon head:

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Max with Headphones

My third Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC265, which is Max Mayfield with headphones. She is wearing a brown hoodie, blue pants and brown footwear with blue bottoms. In her left hand, she is holding a Walkman. Her ginger hair has two braids.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Steve and Robin Captured

My second Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC286, which is Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley captured. The figurines are tied together and wearing their Scoops Ahoy sailor-style uniforms. It's actually a pencil accessory but you can probably also put it on a straw.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy Lucas

The Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy eggs have finally hit the local Dillons store in Kansas. I picked up four of them last Saturday morning.

Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy VC273 is Lucas in his basketball uniform. Side A of the insert shows how to assemble the toy.

Side B of the insert showcases several of the hanging figurines plus a QR code that leads you to the Upside Down game (No, I haven't played it yet).

The Lucas Sinclair figurine features him in his white with green trim basketball uniform and white shoes. He is holding a basketball and there is an "8" on the back of his jersey. Lucas stands about 1 1/2" tall. The picture doesn't do him justice but he's pretty cool for a sports figurine.

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 Cover

DC Comics released Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 last Wednesday. The cover features Santa Claus painting a Mary Marvel figurine. Metamorpho and Robotman in the foreground. Despite Robotman claiming that they are looking pretty snazzy, Metamorpho seems to only have a torso and a head.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Ghost-Spider

I not only found one Mavel Nano Pods Wave 2 Ghost-Spider but I ended up finding three of them. I'm pretty sure this one is based on the Marvel's Soidey and His Amazing Friends cartoon series. I have seen a few episodes and it's pretty good.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man is the fifth miniature figurine that I found at the local Walmart's for a dollar each. He looks like he is doing a sumo wrestler pose.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Black Widow

It's Friday and the start of the three-day Memorial Day weekend. Today's post spotlights the Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Black Widow that I recently picked up. She is wearing her white costume and has red hair.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Star-Lord

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Star-Lord is another one that I picked up last week at the local Walmart's. He has his helmet on and holding his two blasters up. To be honest, he's my least favorite Guardians of the Galaxy miniature figurine from this set.

Women Wednesday: DC Comics Ooshies Hawkgirl Classic Pencil Topper

Breaking News: I finally found a DC Comics Ooshies Classic Hawkgirl Pencil Topper to complete my set. I picked up the last eighteen mystery bags that the local Walmart's had for a dollar each on Tuesday morning. Naturally, she's slightly shorter and thinner than the DC Comics Ooshies Hawkman Classic Pencil Topper. Along with her, I also got Aquaman, Batman Glitter, five Cyborgs, Flash, two Hawkmans, three Lex Luthors, Robin Bronze, Tornado Bronze and Wonder Woman Rebirth so let me know if you need any of them (Cyborg and Lex seems to be the most common).

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Uniform Rocket Raccoon

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Uniform Rocket Raccoon is another one that I picked up last week. He is wearing his new uniform as seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 movie, which I have yet to see (yes, I'm way behind with the Marvel movies). The miniature figurine is holding a weapon pointing up and he has a really angry look.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Potted Groot

I found this Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Potted Groot last week at the local Walmart's for a dollar. Pretty cool for a miniature figurine.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Boxes and Inserts

I found eight boxes of Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 at the local Walmart's last week. They were in the clearance aisle for a dollar each so I got them all. I think I might have seen them earlier this year in the toy aisle but I passed on them because they were between five and six dollars. Half of the boxes had the round clear sticker peeled half off so it appeared that they had either been tampered with or the quality control at Wow! Stuff really sucks. The pods are two by two inches, which makes the figurines about an inch tall. The Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 includes the following miniature figurines: Super Rare Metallic Star-Lord, Uniform Rocket Raccoon, Black Widow, Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Attack Rocket Raccoon, Potted Groot, Thor, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2099 and Anti-Venom. I will be posting what figurines I got in future posts.

Women Wednesday: DC Comics Ooshies Wonder Woman Rebirth Pencil Topper

This DC Comics Ooshies Wonder Woman Rebirth Pencil Topper is the second new one that I got yesterday morning. She does have a tendacy to fall backwards when I try to stand her up due mostly to her big head, which is mostly hair, and her very tiny body. I now have seventeen pencil toppers from the set of eighteen. I just need the Hawkgirl Classic pencil topper to complete the set.

DC Comics Ooshies Tornado Bronze Pencil Topper

I picked up ten more mystery bags of the DC Comics Ooshies pencil toppers for a dollar each this morning at the local Walmart's (they still have a few more left). I ended up getting eight repeats (Aquaman, Batman Glitter, Batman Hologram, two Black Canarys, Flash, Hawkman and Lex Luthor). One of the two new ones that I got included this DC Comics Ooshies Tornado Bronze pencil topper. To me he will always be Red Tornado even though this version should have been called Bronze Tornado but I digress. His legs have been replaced by a partial tornado, which makes him the only DC Comics Ooshies pencil topper that is actually using his powers.
