Leigh-Anne

Here is another purchase that I made from London.  This is Leigh-Anne from the group Little Mix.  I found her because I was searching images of fashion dolls and the musical group Little Mix was in the search.  "Little Mix is a British four-piece girl group formed in 2011, consisting of members Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall.  They appeared on the eighth series of X-Factor and won."*

 "Leigh Anne is from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and comes from a Bajan and Jamiacan background."*

Thierry Henry

I recently was able to purchase from London, the soccer player Thierry Henry.

The action figure is from the Kick O Mania series that featured European Soccer/Football players.  They are hard to find.

I had wanted this figure, but each time he was on ebay the seller would not ship to the United States. The price was $15.80 including shipping.  This time the seller was willing to ship to the US after I sent an email asking if the shipping was possible.

Wild Wild West

This is Will Smith as Captain James West  from the 1999 movie the Wild Wild West.  He is about 8". 

Small action figures

I collect different action figures and some are smaller than 7".  I always wish that they would make them in 12" size. I purchased them because of the characters that they represented.

Michael Clarke Duncan as Manute in Sin City

Tony Todd as Candyman in Candyman

Voice of Ving Rhames as Ryan Whitaker in The Spirit within us

Dwayne Johnson as the Scorpion King in The Scorpion King

Avery Brooks as Captain Sisko in Deep Space Nine

Samuel Jackson as Shaft in Shaft

Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus in the Matrix

Michael Clarke Duncan as Mathius in The Scorpion King

Michael Jai White as Al Simmons in Spawn

Kobe Bryant

With the start of the NBA playoffs, I decided to focus on a player that is unable to play due to injury, Kobe Bryant.  He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.  Over the years there have been many figures created in his likeness.  Recently, Enterbay has created his figure, which has a real likeness to him.

Here are two of the figures that I have in 12"/13". 

2001 Hot Toys,  1999 Mattel

Shopping in April

I am in trouble. I read to many blogs this month and saw all the new dolls and action figures.  They were calling my name. Yes, I made my way to Target, Barbie Collectibles, Integrity Toys, and online.

Iron Man and Clone Trooper were 9.99 each. (too good to pass up)

The Musicians

Shana Elmsford  is  the "JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS’ bass player and drummer!"

"Viktor James is a natural born charmer. Well established Jazz and R 'n B singer, Viktor is the new protege of music mogul Darius Reid."
