The third and final Hot Wheels that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree last week was this Batman v Superman Batmobile. It's a rerelease but with blue wheel rims (the original had all black and I have it too). This is #1 of 5 in the Batman subset and #2 of 250 in the main set.

Hot Wheels U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701
This Hot Wheels U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was found at the local Dollar Tree a few days ago. Of course, I had to pick it up even though I'm not a big Star Trek collector. This one is based on the rebooted movie series.

Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile
I was shocked when I found the Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile at the local Dollar Tree yesterday. The local Walmart's don't even have these yet. I don't normally collect Monster High stuff but I had to get it because it was Hot Wheels. This beats the larger one that can actually fit four of the Monster High dolls (No, I don't have any of those...yet).

Harry Potter Kinder Joy Funko Pops
I think the Harry Potter Kinder Joy Funko Pops were supposed to be out last year in time for Christmas. However, I didn't find them until the first week of January. From my research, there is supposed to be twenty-four mini figures in this set. I only have five different ones plus three doubles. I have two of Hagrid, two of Hermione, one of Draco Malfoy, one of McGonagall and two of Mad Eye Moody.
The backs of all the inserts only show seven mini figures, which are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, Dumbledore and Snape.
I was finding them near the checkout lanes at the local Walmart's and Dillons. However, I only found a few left at Walmart's and none at Dillons last weekend.

Walt Disney With Magazine Pop
This is the last post for 2023 so I thought I would end it with something special. I spent 500 reward points at Disney Movie Rewards a few weeks ago to get the limited edition Walt Disney With Magazine Pop. He's #78 in the Dieney 100 Pop!Icons series.His suit is actually a lighter gray than the pictures show since I used my tablet to take the pictures.
As a bonus, I received this Mickey Mouse pin:
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year's Eve.
