Actually,that isn't a punching bag, it is a "Car Pool Buddy" meant to wear a jacket and simulate another passenger in a car pool lane. it is a novelty gift that was sold through Johnson Smith and other catalogs.

That is beautiful.

New camera yesterday so here's the most recent additions..





I just need a plastic cover for that Kong puzzle and the little tray for the Frankenstein game.

[Unknown Primate]

Cool stuff NekroDave!

Literally a "find"--was out walking the dog and saw this guy looking up at me from the sidewalk.

Awwwwwwwwwww MDG... that is sad! You two were meant to find each other, so he would have a good home.

And Nekro Dave, does that card say "Amigos del Terror" ?? (Kong is blocking the first letters.)

Yeah, that is awesome. It looks so cool all dirty too! It gives is such depth. Should go throw mine outside for awhile.

Yep. Check out the "Blow Molded Frankenstein" thread a little bit below.

Thanks, Dave... I came at this through the unread posts, and don't always get to everything.  Thank you for the heads up!

Here's a nifty yard sale find form today...an Ideal Wolfie doll with a crocheted Coffin Joe outfit!  Well, sorta.  It's the first time I've ever found one of these dolls at a yard sale, and even if it isn't really a Coffin Joe outfit, it's still a cool find.

That's awesome! How much did you pay for him?

Funny story - it was marked $6.  When I went to pay, the old lady started arguing with her daughter, saying that she wanted it marked $8, and she'd rather keep it than sell it for $6.  She actually grabbed it away from me!  They went back and forth yelling at each other, and finally the daughter told her that if I was willing to pay the price it was marked, she would have to sell it.  I told them that I would be happy to pay $6 for it, and she reluctantly sold it for the price marked.  I bet they are still arguing over it.

You'll see the ladies again on the next episode of "Cops".

[NekroDave]

Hahaha! That's awesome, Andy! I always have that fantasy that I find some uber-expensive holy grail at  yard sale for cheap.... and then get greedy and talk them down further anyway. I don't know why. Sometimes toys can bring out the worst in me, I guess.   

[poseablemonster]

If the showdown between the two women hadn't taken place, I was going to offer them $5.
