| Bingo Beaver, Optimus Prime, and ET are cold and wet. |
For this round, I brought out a larger ET figure (this one with 5 points of articulation, unlike the solid mini-figure we saw the other day), a return visit from Transformer Optimus Prime (who was one of the stars of our first Retro Week two years ago), Bingo "Bet it All" Beaver, from the Get-Along-Gang, and finally a smaller figure in the form of the Care Bears' Tenderheart Bear.
 |
| ET realizes that a clever alien would have worn clothes to the ice planet. |
 |
| The Get-Along-Gang's Bingo Beaver is ready to shake your hand (since I also located his box, he's going to get a solo post some time in the future). |
 |
| Tenderheart bear climbs the ice wall. |
 |
| Optimus Prime gives us a wave (which would be more obvious if he still had hands, but hey). |
 |
| If you've seen any of my past Retro/Toronto visit posts, you might recognize this as my usual photo spot: it was so icy that there was no way I was going out the back door, so this is the end of that tradition! |
 |
| A final parting shot from the group. |
Fun! I did some of my Snowboard Spidey back in 2014: http://super-dupertoybox.blogspot.com/2014/02/snowboard-spider-man-by-toybiz.html
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! It's making me wish I'd found the old Barbie ski set that my sister had - good idea for next time though!
DeleteI've never taken any toy pictures in extreme weather, and living in NE Ohio, we've had our share. Fortunately, we live on the west side of Cleveland, which gets far less snow than the east side, due to Lake Erie. However, that picture out your back door looks all too familiar.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense about the different sides of Cleveland. The night of this storm I went to dinner with a friend who lives in The Beach (a neighbourhood closer to the lake), and she commented that the roads and trees in her area were fairly clear.
DeleteHi JSarie! Those little guys are really brave. Though it is true that ET should have thought about wearing some clothes, since he doesn't have any fur, unlike the Tenderheart bear (all bears have fur).
ReplyDeleteKeep having fun!

Heh, maybe I need to make poor ET a warm jacket!
DeleteGreat little figures! I am tempted to start a collection of those vintage posable Care Bears. I don't think I had them growing up, but I love them. :) I usually love taking doll photos out in the snow, but we really didn't have any snow at all this year! So weird for my area. I'm glad you had a nice taste of winter while in Canada (even thought it's spring, lol, but as a Canadian, I am sure you know what I mean!)
ReplyDeleteThis ice storm aside, they did have a freakishly warm winter overall (and it was hotter than usual all the way down here in Houston too), so I'm not surprised about your lack of snow - I like to say that I miss it for the photo opportunities, but not for the shovelling. ;)
DeleteOh quickly take them inside, they must be freezing their little buts off! They are all so cute JS, love the beaver with his little teeth. :) He reminds me of the old Ipana toothpaste ad, do you remember Bucky?
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Heh, you've just inspired me to watch a full run of old toothpaste ads on YouTube! ;)
DeleteJust being out in direct sunlight is extreme for me, lol, so nope.
ReplyDeleteHeh, LOL!
DeleteMade me feel cold just seeing these photos! But I enjoyed them, the ET figure, awww happy memories of the ET ride at Universal Studios, Florida!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever taken any extreme weather photos....the very hot days in summer dont' show up on camera! ;)

Heh, sometimes those hot days must fog up your camera a bit, right? ;)
