I was shopping in Wal-Mart yesterday and actually saw these on the shelf. I have a feeling some people may love these, while others may shake their head and wonder "why?", but I can tell you that my kids went cookoo for Cocoa Puffs when they saw the Hulk/tank. Heck, if they can do it with Star Wars, why not, right?<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/526040883507130649-3313325560043602117?l=mainstaypeepthis.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mainstay Mattnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526040883507130649.post-29612758560645957372008-08-11T06:36:00.000-07:002008-08-14T01:03:47.536-07:00<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233256357956282242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S5KHhzQbdt8/SKBC7jqJ54I/AAAAAAAAAdg/DhdIyDo0EaY/s400/STRANGEco_logo.jpg" border="0" />I discovered this site after checking out some advertising in the latest issue of <a href="http://www.hifructose.com/">Hi Fructose</a> Magazine. I'm a little late to the party when it comes to vinyl toys and the specialty toy market in general, but I am really diggin' on the unique expression that comes from these collectible little gems.<br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.strangeco.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233256939190883042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S5KHhzQbdt8/SKBDdY7SEuI/AAAAAAAAAdo/n6OgPcLk2Y4/s400/STRANGEco_peep.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>One of the standouts I found on the site was <a href="http://www.tokidoki.it/">Tokidoki</a>, who has partnered with a lot of big names, such as the famous <a href="http://www.sanrio.com/">HelloKitty</a> brand to produce a weird mix of styles on their combined toy and merchandise line.<a href="http://www.tokidoki.it/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233259187314230322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S5KHhzQbdt8/SKBFgP1qBDI/AAAAAAAAAdw/x1J7HYP9P5s/s400/adios_vynil_toy_black.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.tokidoki.it/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233259683273427538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S5KHhzQbdt8/SKBF9HbiylI/AAAAAAAAAd4/-HP4qVCrcoE/s400/67117-200804_500.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>Check em all out and don't get lost in all of this coolness.
