Two for one Thrift Store special!
I visited a local privately-run thrift store I'd never been into several days ago and then just yesterday I visited the Goodwill from my last post again, Neither produced a large number of images (the first one because my camera phone was nearly out of batteries and the second because I just honestly didn't see that much) so I figured I'd lump 'em together in one post!




THE VILLAGE THRIFT SHOP (No seriously this is what it was called)






The first thing I hit was their box 'o toys. I immediately found several plastic Orlando Blooms, I think it was the plastic molded muscles that made me laugh so hard.


Chillin' with Jeff Foxworthy and Davy Jones.


PLASTIC SNAPE DEDUCTS 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR. He is also not amused.



Some wrestler guy? IDK. I took him out and put him on the stack of VHS tapes nearby so I could get a better picture of him.



:( This came out really blurry because I was laughing too hard.  I swear I did not pose him like that (I think he's supposed to be Frankenstein's monster from Van Helsing?) just look at him! He's clearly singing about all his woes or something.



MORE PLASTIC ORLANDO BLOOM. You know what they say about a man with big hands~


Moving away from the box of toys (they also had a bunch of Batman figurines which I bought for my 9-yr old cousin)



Who doesn't want an Alien head coffee mug? Someone clearly didn't, but I sure did! This came home with me.



A surfing skeleton. With King Tut and Jesus. And some other crappy knick knacks.



Closeup!


What a lovely place for a shoe!



Old live-action Spiderman on VHS with a stack of CDs and cassettes behind him.



I guarantee you these "computer animation marvels" are outdated now. :( And just look at that creepy clown girl on the cover! My God it gives me shivers!



Last but not least!  Clearly "top pop" did not like his Father's Day gift. It even still has the tags on it.


GOODWILL





Oh Goodwill vinyl selection, you never cease to amaze me. (Held by my mother, she knew more about this guy than I did)



What's a thrift store without a bunch of ugly lovely shoes? Here! Have 5 pairs of them!



Just so that we're clear - this guy is totally a vampire. See? He's got snaggletooth fangs and a Dracula cape! -ALL- vampires have to have snaggletooth fangs and a cape! Soon as our cop was turned I bet he said to himself, "Damn, now that I'm one of the undead I have GOT to get me one of them fashionable Dracula capes!"

The book says VAMPIRE right on it, do they really need to beat us over the head with this?



 Yeah, I don't know either.




:( OHGOD WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR EYES?



You know he totally strangled that poor kitty. Just look at that faux-innocent expression. Back away slowly, don't let him know you know!



And finally, WOLVERINE TEMPORARY TATTOOS. Fuck yeah.


Happy Halloween!

I probably would've scarfed up all the Orlando Bloom action figures for my weird action figure collection. :D

XD I'm not sure how much it was exactly but all the figures were pretty damn cheap, like in the 2 dollar range.

I would TOTALLY have bought live action Spiderman and that terrible CGI DVD. In. A. Heartbeat.

I have a love of truly awful watchable crap.

Me too I would have totally bought it I think it's the wacky Japanese Spiderman Liveaction series complete with a Henshin Spiderman that comes with his own Mecha...

oh also he's got a bunch of fans running after him and they sing really bad song in praises for him that makes his Spidey sense go crazy and he always ends up blowing them up...

I kid you not!

I'm taking a guess Mr. Wrestler was supposed to be Rowdy Roddy Piper from his movie "They Live."

(Not going to admit how much I know about John Davidson, but he was considered quite the heart-throb in his day!)

Clearly those two little girly figurines got into mommy's fake eyelashes and have managed to glue their eyes shut in the process of putting them on!

"THEY LIVE"
"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

Or it could be from his movie "Hell Comes to Frogtown."

Must go beat my head with a shovel now.

The worst part about that surfing skeleton is that my ex boyfriend would have bought it thinking it was a super snazzy decoration.

I think the surfing skeleton would make a fantastic addition to the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Can't you just see the epic sea-battle...billows of smoke,cannonballs screaming past...and then this guy comes ripping by on his board, leading a phalanx of cursed pirate surfers?

Voiced by Keanu Reeves. Of course.

I'm perplexed by surfing skeli's expressive *eye sockets*
I get that the perma grin isn't really avoidable due to, yanno, not having a face. But eye sockets that can morph to show emotion? Crazy.
Also: For some highly unknown reason, I really want the Snape.
I don't even really like the movies, or Rickman, but I want that damn doll.

I'm not sure whatthe hell it is.. if it's just stylized to look that way.. (it's in the pic with the skele-surfer) but it looks perfect for taking off bottle tops! lol

LOL I'm not sure what it was either but there was a lot of other religious knick knacks. I think the old lady running the place must be big on church or something.

ANOTHER 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR. PLASTIC SNAPE IS ALL MAN.

IDK, I think it's just the lighting actually. My cameraphone tends to do weird things with the light.
