On my epic Saturday journey I made a stop at the Kid Robot on Melrose, simply because I hadn’t been there in a while (and I wanted to pop into Paul Frank). Once inside I did end up seeing a bunch of fun toys I really wanted to buy, but I wasn’t really down to spend $25 on anything, so instead I opted for $8’s on a rad [adult swim] mini-figure. Just look at that shiny chrome box! It totally spoke to my inner cro-magnon man.

I frantically opened the box immediately after I got out of the store, REALLY hoping for an Ignigknot and Err, but sadly ended up with Harvey Birdman’s sidekick, Avenger. Que sera sera…

2. Oh I’ve opened enough of those damn things to know better than to expect the one I want, haha…

3. Wow, way to show no regard for the beautiful chrome box. :( How will you ever sell it on eBay now? :D

4. I don’t like the blind box either. My hopes for a Venture Bros Figure would be dashed immediately.

6. I’ve had better luck with these. I got the Huck Gee Series 3 dunny on my first try (the one I wanted), and when I got two of these boxes I got Early (from Squidbillies) and Assy McGee on my first tries.

   Mediocre shows, but awesome figures.

7. What’s funny is Avenger is the ONLY one of those I want. I’ve been buying the French Munny’s like crazy, though. They’re great.
