Oh, yes... I pick them up here and there. I often get new ones as gifts for birthdays and Christmas; others I find in real estate auctions, little out-of-the-way shops, yard sales. Why, I've even picked a few interesting pieces up out of folks' garbage--you'd be surprised what people simply throw away. Pocahontas there, for example, I found in a dumpster on Third Street, and Groot was a takeout-meal toy one of my knucklehead nephews tossed in the trash. I think they make an adorable couple--almost as cute as
Teen Wolf and Eleven from Stranger Things.
Bratz Dolls and their Halloween cousins the Monster High crew weird me out, though. They not only look like crack baby Barbies with their bizarre proportions, but they aren't terribly original, either. Anyone remember
Gravesdale High with Rick Moranis and his cadre of mischievous young monsters? Probably not, but it makes for a pretty worthy footnote in animation history, failure or no.
