This guy has to be one of my favorite finds ever! He is in perfect condition and super tall. Marked Made in Hong Kong. Does anyone have any info on this guy? I love his spiffy yellow suit.

Flea Market Finds
This weekend I visited our local flea market looking for kitschy toys, and other vintage goodness. I have really been searching for a vintage desk to complete my office/toy room. Packing toys on the dining room table just isn't going to work anymore! I have boxes, tags, and tissue paper everywhere.
So after searching high and low for the perfect mid century desk with no success I ran into one of the strangest toys I have ever seen. I know that this guy was created in 1988 by Mattel, but that is all the info I have. Does anyone know his name? I can imagine that an anthropomorphic chicken leg must have an interesting history.

I have no idea why this picture is horizontal. I have tried to rotate it several times with no luck. My usual camera is being repaired. Apologies....
I also have a little preview for this week. This sweet pose doll will be listed this week along with other goodies including a trio of kitschy mod mid century cats.

Hello Out There!
Hello! I am still here!
My grandmother, who I am very close to, had a stroke at the beginning of January and I have been taking care of her so I have been pretty absent from blogging and the shop, but things are getting better with time and I am now back :) I have been so excited to get back to posting and sharing my vintage finds!
So I have a little preview for next week:

So no one wanted this super cute holiday mouse and little knee hugger elf? No one at all? I am assuming that everyone was away baking cookies, decking the halls, and getting caught under mistletoe.... One more chance to win this unlikely duo.
