Amazon has a bunch of Mattel Back Friday-Gold Box deals good only until midnight. Most are Monster High-Ever After High but there are a few CARS-PLANES items … Most noteably, Cabbie the Transporter for @$12.49.

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Sally with Tattoo is apparently taboo in the US … hard to find so “John H.” went to the great white north (well, from the weather report this week, it’s already a wintery vortex). Unibody Sally. Nice new sharp mold. Different expression and mouth from Sally with Cone […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H!” The Fusel Lodge Fire Alarm 4-Pack is a Target exclusive. Pulaski, ‘Ol Jammer & Cad Spinner (plus Fire Fighter Dusty).
