Toy Aisle Trolls > Wrestling Snatch
Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com.
Poester 3B sends in another one:
Says 3B:
I encountered this at Toy R Us. I usually see this with Mattel’s WWE Elite line as the package is easier to reseal and the vandals swap out the new figures with old Jakks Pacific versions of the same wrestler. But this guy not only replaced the figures with different wrestlers, but he STAPLED the bubble back on to the card.
I’m not really familiar with professional wrestling, so I’ll leave it to you to decide exactly which painful move should be inflicted on the piece of canine fecal matter who did this.

Poester Pez3939 sends in yet another mauling of the DCUC Gotham 5-Pack:
Writes Pez:
DC universe 5 pack with a Batman Movie Master goon and a wrestling chick with furry boots!!!!
The thief deserves to be placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, of course, but at least I understand this one.

Odds ‘n Ends > Christmas Haulage Thread
Got some spare time this lovely Christmas morning, so I thought I’d share my own Christmas haulage and give you the opportunity to share yours. Here’s mine:
- The 2009 SDCC MOTU Art Book (a gift from Dr. Mrs. Ghostal)
- The book Pop Sculpture
- The book Totally Tubular ’80s Toys
- DCUC Sinestro Corps Batman
- Volumes 2 and 3 of Gotham Central
- Goldeneye 007 for Wii
- Retro Action Heroes Batman
- Robot Chicken Humping Robot
- Funko POP Heroes Batman
- Toynami Futurama Bender (we already have one, but now I have one for my desk at work)
- Captain Corndog vs. Baron Von Broccoli Action Figure Set
Dr. Mrs. Ghostal’s big gift was a Kindle, but she also got a 20″ plush Appa from the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, a Funko POP Heroes Batgirl and a Wizard of Oz Toto in a basket.
Happy Holidays from PGPoA!

Show and Tell > Talking Santa Claus (Kurt Adler)
As you may recall, last year I posted that I was on the lookout for a Kurt Adler Santa Claus decorations from the 1990s. The reason I wanted it was that it was basically an action figure (you can read a review of it here).
Since that day last December, I had a saved search on eBay for it. For months and months, nothing came up as a result for “talking santa adler” except an auction for an 8×10″ hand-color tinted photograph of J. Robert Oppenheimer (I’m 100% serious).
Finally, this past September, I got not one but two results. On the same day! One was missing his sack, but the other was complete and soon, finally, Santa Claus was mine.
There’s not a whole lot to say about the figure–he’s articulated at the shoulders and waist and says three phrases. The voice actually comes out pretty loud and clear, and whoever they got to do the voice does a pretty good Santa. Kind of sounds like the Santa from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
In the spirit of the season, I’ve decided to gift you with MP3 files of his phrases, because why not?
Toy Aisle Trolls > Egon Finagler
Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com.
Poester T16SkyHopp (I think that’s his handle) sends this one in.
They just stole Egon. And tore off his name tag to make it less obvious he is missing. Lame.
Yeah, Egon. It’s not like we haven’t already had two Egons available via Mattycollector. He’s the most common Ghostbusters Classic figure out there. And the only one this guy stole.
Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly, and apparently, profoundly stupid lot.
