Thrift Store Finds: Razer, Tarzan and Megamind Minion

I actually picked up the following toys at a local thrift store on Saturday morning. All three were in the same bag for fifty cents. Not bad considering all the weeks that I haven't found anything.

Razer the renegade Red Lantern action figure is the sixth toy from McDonald's Green Lantern Animated Series Power Ups that was put in Happy Meals in 2012. His arms move 360* and his chest lights up when you push the button on his back.

This Tarzan is from McDonald's Disney 100 Years of Magic that was put in 2002 Happy Meals. The only movement is that the figurine rotates 360* on the base.

Thrift Store Find: Iron Man USB Memory Figurine

I found an Iron Man USB memory figurine from 2011 still in the package for fifty cents on Saturday. The original price was $19.99 at Alco's. There's a small two dollar price sticker over the original store price tag so I'm guessing that someone tried to sell it at a yard sale. There is exclusive bonus content including a free one month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics plus cover gallery, wallpapers and desktop icons.

Thrift Store Finds: Imaginext Dark Knight Batman

I call this the Dark Knight Batman since he's wearing the black costume. The only thing wrong with that title is his silly grin. He's another one of those action figures that Imaginext likes to put out in different play sets. He's the last action figure in the two dollar bag that I picked up at a local thrift store a few weeks ago.

Look at that cool non-detachable cloth cape:

Of course, the Imaginext Dark Knight Batman didn't come with any of his accessories.

Thrift Store Finds: Imaginext Bane

I'm not sure which version this Imaginext Bane action figure is since I found him in the two dollar bag with other action figures at a local thrift store a few weeks ago. I'm not even sure how many different toy  play sets or figure packs that he came with. All I know is that he's mine now.

Thrift Store Finds: Mysterious Imaginext Action Figures

I picked up these two mysterious Imaginext action figures in the two dollar bag that I picked up a few weeks ago at a local thrift store. Any help identifying them would be appreciated.

The first one looks like he could be a pirate captain or a swashbuckler since he's wearing a fancy vest:

The second mysterious Imaginext action figure could be a samurai or a circus strongman:

Of course, none of their accessories were included in the bag.

Thrift Store Finds: Playskool Jar Jar Binks

This Star Wars Jedi Force Jar Jar Binks from Playskool is another action figure that was in a two dollar bag that I picked up a few weeks ago at a local thrift store. He stands at 2 3/4" with 2011 Hasbro on the bottom of one foot. I like having him mostly because I don't have a lot of alien action figures.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the Anakin Skywalker action figure that he originally came packaged with.

Thrift Store Finds: Smash Mobile Hulk

I actually found this Marvel Super Hero Adventure Smash Mobile Hulk at a local thrift store a few weeks ago in a bag of seven other action figures for two dollars. He stands at three inches and is actually wearing an orange with black safety vest over his tattered white shirt. One foot is marked 2010 Marvel Inc. while the other is marked Hasbro Made In China.

Unfortunately, I could not find the Smash Mobile that this Hulk originally came with.

Thrift Store Find: Super Combat Captain America Action Figure

I actually found a four inch Super Combat Captain America action figure at a local thrift store for fifty cents a few weeks ago. Hasbro put him out in 2011 as the seventh figure in the First Avenger movie line. He is little worn in places and is missing his accessories.

Thrift Store Finds: Batman Fun Case Plus Bonus Activity Books

The last item that I picked up last week at a local thrift store was A Batman Fun Case for three dollars. The box promised two jumbo coloring and activity books, one digest coloring and activity book with stickers, one activity book with stickers and a four-pack of crayons. Unfortunately, the jumbo coloring activity book with Batman and Robin on the cover was not included nor was the box of crayons. The copyright date is 2010 and was produced by Bendon International, Inc.

The digest coloring and activity book measures 5 1/4" by 8 1/4" and the front cover states that stickers are included. Unfortunately, all I had was a page of missing stickers. None of the pages were colored or marked.

The front cover of the Batman activity book with stickers features the Dark Knight and Robin:

The back cover of the Batman activity book with stickers features door hanger that you can gut out:

The stickers are pretty colorful and features Batman, Robin, Mr. Freeze, the Joker, the Penguin, Two-Face, Man-Bat, Killer Croc and even logos (I was disappointed that there were no Catwoman stickers but then she is also absent from the coloring and activity books):

The only Batman jumbo coloring and activity book that was found inside the Batman Fun Case was the one featuring Batman and the Joker on the front cover:

The back cover features a match two card game that can be cut out (nice to see the Riddler but still no Catwoman):

Also included inside the Batman Fun Case was three jumbo coloring and activity books. Some of the pages has pencil and crayon markings but they are mostly on the puzzle pages. These were not originally part of the set and sold separately for a dollar each with a copyright date of 2012. They were available at the local Dollar General but the only one that I actually seen and picked up was the The Caped Crusader featuring the Penguin on the cover because I actually picked it up a few months ago but never got around posting about it here.

The first Batman jumbo coloring and activity book is Bad Guys Beware featuring Two-Face on the front cover:

The back cover of Bad Guys Beware features Batman and Robin swinging into action:

Next is the Batman jumbo coloring and activity book titled The Cahse is On featuring Batman and the Joker on the front cover:

The back cover of The Chase is On features Two-Face crashing into the batmobile:

Whew, I think this has to be one of the longest posts that I have ever done here. That is why I didn't include any scans of the coloring, puzzle or maze pages.

Thrift Store Find: 2003 Movie Hulk

I found a 2003 movie Hulk action figure for a dollar at a local thrift store last week. He is tall at 6 3/4" and his muscles are freaking huge.

Thrift Store Find: Unknown 2002 Toy Biz Spiderman

I found this unknown 2002 Toy Biz Spider-Man at a local thrift store last week for a dollar. If I had to give him a name, then he would be Freaky Fingers Spider-Man. All the fingers on his right hand bends back while two of his fingers on his left hand can bend all the way to his palm to look like he is activating his web shooter. Standing at just a little over six inches, he does have wear on his eyes and legs. He knee joints are rather odd too.

His back looks like peeling plastic or he had something attached to it at one time.

Thrift Store Find: Power Punch Batman

I recently picked up a Power Punch Batman action figure for a dollar at a local thrift store. He is from the Batman Begins line from Mattel. Standing at 5 1/2 inches, he has a battle damage costume. You can twist his upper torso to the right until he locks in place. There is a small button in the back of his utility belt that is pressed to make him use his power punch ability.

Unfortunately, none of his accessories were found including his cape.

Thrift Store Find: Hydro Suit Batman

I hit a few of the local thrift stores yesterday afternoon and found a 2003 Hydro Suit Batman from Mattel for only a dollar. This is a pretty cool action figure because his costume is green, his gauntlets are webbed and he has flippers on his feet. He's pretty tall too for he stands almost seven inches.

Unfortunately, he did not come with any accessories such as his bat-shaped breathing tank.

Thrift Store Find: After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn

I did a little thrift store hunting yesterday afternoon and I picked up After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn (Tor, February 2012) for a dollar. Here is the front cover of the paperback book:

And here is the back cover:

I actually read the first page after I got it but I have to wait to read any more because I am currently reading Circle of Desire by Keri Arthur.

Thrift Store Find: Unknown Red Dinosaur Toy

Finally, the last toy in the third toy bag that I recently picked up at a local thrift store is an unknown red dinosaur with blue wheels and a chrome head. The wheels do not move and the head looks robotic. The red hard plastic body is transparent. The chrome head can be pushed back and locked into place. The tail can be pushed down to release the head. The markings inside the head says that it was manufactured by b.little and made in China but no year is printed on it. There is a D shaped hole on the back that suggests something was attached to it like a saddle or weapon.

Thrift Store Find: Mysterious Mini Blue Robot

Yep, I have another unknown action figure that I need help to identify. This mysterious mini blue robot is only 3" tall. It was found in the third thrift store bag that I picked up. The head tilts pretty far back, the arms only move at the shoulders, the upper torso moves right below the red blotch, and the legs move where they are connected to the lower torso. While the mysterious mini blue robot is molded blue, the eyes are red and there are some areas that appear to be dark gray (mouthpiece, chest knob, lower torso spring and hands).

The hole on the back is six sided and appears that something could be attached to it.

Thrift Store Find: Unknown Bug Man

I'm pretty sure this unknown bug man is from the Imaginext line since he is the same design style and size of my Space Shuttle crewmen. However, I can't seem to find any online information about him yet. His orange bug-like helmet is removable to reveal that his costume is mostly black with yellow and orange stripes. He was in the third bag of toys that I picked up at a local thrift store. If anyone has any information about him, then please feel free to post in the comments.

Update: I found out that he is Imaginext's Sky Racers Sea Stinger.
