This XL black hulk t-shirt was made by Tennessee River and found at a local thrift store last week for three dollars:

Thrift Store Find: Mystery Fantasy Figurine

This mystery fantasy figurine was in the same fifty cent bag that Buttercup, Captain America, Green Arrow and Wolverine was in. I know that the character looks familiar and my sister was quick to say Link. The back of the hat is flat and there are red ribbon on the sides. The outfit is green and yellow dress with white arms and legs.The bottom corner of the right sleeve has been damaged. The mystery fantasy figurine has a sword half drawn strapped to its back. The scabbard is black with a yellow tip. The only wording on the bottom is "CLAMP et al" and "China". I feel like I should know the name of the character but I just can't think of it and my searching is turning up nothing.

Thrift Store Find: Buttercup

I have not watched the Powerpuff Girls cartoon series for a long time since my family found them annoying. My favorite has always been Buttercup so I was pleasantly surprise to find her at a local thrift store last week. She was in the same fifty cent bag along with Captain America, Green Arrow and Wolverine. The bottom green part of Buttercup's eyes lights up by pressing a button on the back on her head. The figure is from the 2002 Burger King set.

Green Lantern Movie Sneak Peak Video

If you watched the Friday episode of Entertainment Tonight, then you would have seen a sneak peak at the Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds. You can view the video here since it is widescreen and I am digging the suit. Be sure to turn to the tv show next Tuesday for a closer look at the movie.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Marvel Heroes Wolverine

Wolverine stopped hanging out at McDonald's because they made him child proof his pop out claws. I found him at a local thrift store last week hanging out in a bag with other Happy Meal toys. I like his blue and yellow uniform even if he can no longer stab a McRib.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Marvel Heroes Captain America

For Veteran's Day this year, Captain America is hanging out at McDonald's to ask for donations to get a new shield. He will sing any of the hits from the forties for fifty dollars or more. For donations over a hundred, he will give you the phone number of any of his fellow Marvel Heroes friends.

This three wheeler was actually part of the breakaway Batmobile from McDonald's Batman: The Brave and the Bold Happy Meals set from just a few months ago. The toy can be pulled back and it spring forward by itself.
