A Package from Laura Huey!

So I turn around for just a moment and 9 days has gone by since I posted to the blog! Argh! Can't even use the excuse that I'm gearing up for the Halloween countdown... because I'm totally winging it this year. But I wanted to take a moment a thank my good friend Laura Huey from the BooBobby blog (no she's not dead, she's just not as into blogging these days as she once was) for this excellent little package I got in the mail a while back: 


Laura is incredibly giving and knows exactly how to put a smile on my face. 


First and foremost there was this beautiful piece of artwork included in the package! I think this is probably my favorite item in the package. Check out that mustache! 


Next up is this McNugget chick. She looks entirely TOO happy to be joining my shelf of McDonaldland toys!!! 


Then we have this pull-back toy that is what appears to be something like french toast sticks. He's not officially affiliated with any fast food chain but he gets to join the gang on the shelf either way.

UPDATE: Actually, having done some deeper research, it turns out this is a Lickety Splits toy (of which I already own one other) which most of the internet seems to agree was put out by Burger King. The markings on it are from 1989, Graphics Int'l INC.


And finally pogs! Nothing better that a bit of 90's ephemera with yet more McDonaldland characters on them (I sense Laura had a subtle theme going on here)!!!

So there you have it! Laura and her family have been great online friends of mine for a good long while now. I am always thankful for any contact with her, toys or no toys involved! She's currently over on instagram so be sure to check out her feed!

That's all I've got for tonight kids! I'll be back with more Geeky Goodwill Goodies soon enough! Until then, Happy Hunting!

  3. I love the connection and agree with John....Laura is totally radical. True be told, me and my wife have recently reunited with POG and challenge each other on a weekly basis. Take care bud....

  4. YAY! Laura is just so awesome! I love that little guy she drew. He looks like an Animal Crossing character, I love that game.

    I miss my Pogs so much! I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of them. Oh well, stuff comes and goes, but friendship is forever. :)

  5. Is there any dates or company info on the bottom of the french toast guy ?
