Dollar Store Toys

The toys you will find in this category are the dollar store action figures that have some moving parts. Toys that have moving arms, heads, legs or otherwise posable. They usually come with some form of accessory that may or may not fit, so far only the latter.

Many of them are imitations of well known characters from a variety of sources. DC Comics is one source for the imitations. One such figure is a Batman knock off. He comes with a bow and two suction cup dart arrows. The figure can't hold the bow in his hands.

Marvel Comics characters are also imitated. A pair of action figures are made to look strikingly close to Spiderman. These cheap Spiderman figures were given the name City Nimrods. The accessories included do not fit in the right hand, but rather carefully between the fingers of the left hand.

Then there is the 11 inch army soldier. Standing 11.5 inches tall, he looks striking similar to a Mattel Ken doll. This guy doesn't get anything.

I have yet to find any "villain" action figures though. I wonder if they make any and, if so, where are they?

What good are the super heroes without any villains to fight?

The toys in this category are any of the dollar store games you might find.

There are an assortment of games you can get at a dollar store ranging from board games to handheld games to sports games.

Pick up a frisbee at the dollar store and have a game of frisbee outside with your friends.

You can also pick up mini desktop versions of games for your desk at the office such as a mini magnetic dart board or a mini basketball game when you need a break.

Get classics like checkers and chinese checkers that include big plastic fold up boards. These games have large size pieces for play on the big boards.

For the intellectuals, there are a variety of puzzle games to get you thinking as well.
