Recent Flea Market Finds

My local flea market has a good mix of used older items.... and weird bootleg stuff from china and mexico. I'm a big fan of both categories. Most of this is the former....

...This frozen "lego" I got for my sister is the latter. There's a whole bunch of knock off legos - some for franchises lego has never had the rights to, haha!

Like almost any collector  here I'm most amped when I can find odd G1 things. I've had a few exciting finds, but there's not usually a lot of g1 stuff around! On my last two visits I managed to find A petite pony (not sure who!) and a sea pony float. The funny thing was they were both at tables that had no other pony stuff what-so-ever!

A weird 3.5 pony clone. I love ponies and I love surreal bootleg garbage. I can't help myself. : (

Not pony but.... Can you guess what this is?

When I first found it I thought it was some strange home-made bird alien puppet. ...but as I looked it over things slowly clicked into place. Its strange that it has googly eyes, and its neck (not really visible here) feels like it was made out of a sweater arm - but inside the head is plastic, with some fairly complex puppet parts to move the beak and antanae

It looks like you've had a good lot of finds lately. I always enjoy finding random G1 items (and ponies!) best too.  It's amazing that things are still showing up! Congrats on your finds :frolic:

PS: I have no idea who your bird is but he sure is cute :D

It's a teddy ruxpin fob :) Very cute!


OOOh. What is that little translucent pikachu/raichu thing? Is that legit merchandise or a bootleg. o__o; I am in love with it.

It sure is! Hahah! I always loved the Fob's design.

And oh yeah!! That is a glow in the dark Raichu. <3<3 They had several other similar glow in the dark pokemon there. I suspect it may be a bootleg - there are no markings on it other than a faint "w". I am not sure though.

I found one like it in this person's collection who claims it is legit: http://sunyshore.com/raichu_figures.shtml

Either way, I get the feeling it's an older figure. I think I remember a childhood friend had a similar non-glowing one back around ~2000

Ok that chicken thing looks like a messed up Torchic.
Also, the Pikachu/Raichu hybrid in the background? Love it.

That's so sweet. :) I really want to find one now too! Thank you for linking that.
