the dailypic 3101 yr9 179 Wind Up Fun
These are Josie’s friends, she loves them. She gets excited if we just touch them, we wind them up and she loves the show. When it is over she treats them like they are her kids, gathers them up and brings them to her spot.

the dailypic 3094 yr9 172 Don’t Grow Up
Seems fitting the last toy I ever purchased from Toys R Us was this Geoffrey figure. Now I realize he is not the original Geoffrey I grew up with but still… he was on the floor in a package as I waited in line, so why not. Just adding another store to the list of stores I most likely complained about at some point, only to be sad when it closed. The top of that list is Lechmere, man I loved to hate Lechmere, to the point when they went out of business I had been banned for life, no joke my name was on a list, damn I miss sneaking back in and buying camera equipment. As a kid I preferred Child’s World, they were cooler stores, but with my kids we would go to Toys R Us to make Christmas lists. In the end I am sorry to see anything that competes (in this case not well I understand) with Walmart. Eight years Walmart free… that time by choice I was not banned, I was more encouraged not to come back.
I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid
they got a million toys at Toys R us that I can play with
I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid
they got the best for so much less, it’ll really flip your lid
From bikes to trains to video games
it’s the biggest toy store there is (gee whiz!)
I don’t wanna grow up, cause maybe if I did
I couldn’t be a Toys R Us kid
more games, more toys, oh boy!
I wanna be a Toys R Us kid
RIP

I have no idea who these guys are other than what I read on the packaging, it was a suggestions from a few months back. The PJMasks figures have been sitting in the studio waiting there turn. #ToyWednesday is here so today was their shot… I think it is a Disney JR. Show, superheroes in PJs.

This is Dolly, she lives in my basement. I saved her for a quarter at Brimfield Fair a few years ago, I was told she was found in a barn, but who knows. When we added on a few years back the contractor had to cut access through the 140 year old granite foundation. Now there is a black hole that leads to the crawl space under the new part of the house. I let Dolly live there, she ain’t hurting anyone. Eye contact is not a strong suit, hers don’t move anymore and she could use some chap stick, but I’m not touching her. There she stands just waiting for some one to come down the stairs and hug her… and she will continue to wait.

the dailypic 3067 yr9 145 The Beatles
19 years ago I bought these figures… today I took them out of the package. McFarlane Beatles Yellow Submarine Action Figures from 1999. I bought them at Rubber Chicken Comics, I remember they ordered them for me, I took them home in the box they were shipped in. I then moved them to my first house, then to my second then to the studio. Today I was looking for something else and came across them, still in that original shipping box, still in their packages. A quick check online to see they are worth about what they were 19 years ago, 1 minute later, 4 opened packages and John Paul George and Ringo are under the lights and posing. These things suck to stand, top heavy, awkward feet, George was the only one to cooperate, in the dailypic he is actually offering enough support to keep all the rest from falling backwards. Not sure what my end goal was when I bought them, I am smart enough to know I will never get rich collecting toys, but you think I would have ripped open those boxes sooner. I think this leaves me with one “toy” left in original packaging, a first wave Lego dual pack of Slave 1 and a Land Cruiser. I am one slow weekend from cracking those open too.

I would be lying if I did not say… I hated those spoiled, bratty, whiny, rugrats, and the stupid music.

Henry has shown up in the dailypic before, he is old… as old as me. He makes a better subject than me though. Do you have an old toy? New toy? One of your kids toys? Stuffed animal? Figure?
