So I got down to the routine spring cleaning of the house in preparation for Hari Raya this year.
Started off with my room first. It's been ages since it got reorganized. =/
And lo and behold, I was treated to a blast from my past.
I got hooked onto these little 'egg-creature' toys are some point or other in my childhood. The fact that you could just pull out an animal from those egg toys was highly intriguing to my youthful intellect. Heh.
And who could forget these 'mini-cons'?
Bought at 50 cents or less from your neighbourhood vending machine, these obvious China-made rip-offs of Hasbro's originals fueled my interest in the series for many years to come.
I'd like to call these 'Chupa-surprises', 'cos they're basically like your average Kinder Surprise (which would go ga-ga for as a kid, by the way) but this time they were bundled with Chupa Chup lollipops. Let's just say I'm a fan. =P
And who doesn't love them Happy Meal toys? These are but a fraction of my treasure trove of Happy Meal goodies. And yes, that was a Batmobile beside the visage of Will Smith on a horse from the movie 'Wild Wild West', in unfortunate disrepair. =(
To think this fella actually survived the onslaught of time and neglect.
Treasured readers, let me introuce to you Billy Lee from the relatively unknown TV cartoon series Double Dragon. WOOOOO *fanboy squeals* One of my favourite toys, this macho man will always hold a special place in my heart. Plus, that mask is just TOO cool. XD
Amazing, the revelations that surface as you go about such a mundane activity. That, and the amazing pain that comes with it once you're done. =S
