SPOTLIGHT ON: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES CLASSIC COLLECTION: MICHAELANGELO, RAPHAEL, LEONARDO & DONATELLO


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need no introduction. If by some absolute stroke of bizarre fate you have found yourself on this page and really don't know - here's two handy clips that will explain as much as you probably need to know. Choose your poison!

Learn about TMNT.....

...via a rare live performance of their 90s RAP movie theme with turtles in suits on stage 

OR 

....via their good timey animated cartoon intro that's also being re-enacted by live action split-screen cosplayers.

I know it's a tough decision. Why not do both? What? Do you have to be somewhere?

SPOTLIGHT ON: EARTHWORM JIM BY MEZCO


Obviously talented yet incredibly, stomach-churningly bigoted creator Doug TenNapel's iconic 90s video game creation has certainly lasted longer than probably anybody anticipated back in the day. Thanks Nostalgia!

HOARDAX GOES TO THE MILL MARKETS IN DAYLESFORD FOR A HOARD HUNT!


What is HOARD HUNTING? 

Hoard Hunting occurs any time Hoardax steps into a place like a Sunday Market or Savers or even K-Mart and comes across nice things he finds interesting. Often, he doesn't actually buy anything but nevertheless wants to share them with YOU - The wonderful Hoard Worlders.

It's American Pickers meets Antiques Roadshow meets Hardcore Pawn. Kinda.

It's also a slightly sneaky act of hoarding items by photographing them. Much cheaper. Takes up way less space.

On this particular adventure off-planet, Skorpia and I travelled to the far away land of regional Victoria, Daylesford. Spa Country. I was due for my yearly bath anyway.

HOARD WORLD IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE ALL STAR COMICS TOY CABINET PRESENT: CHARITY HOARD!



Note: This Hoard World Adventure continues to exist online only for posterity. Charity Hoard (at least THIS particular incarnation of it) has concluded for now, and for the most part it was a success! A big thanks to ManTenor, those fine folks at All Star Comics and YOU.

We're doing something a little different this month in the cabinet, along with our usual swag of Hoard World-y treats.

In conjunction with the wonderful people at ALL STAR COMICS we're supporting an early-adopting fellow Hoard Worlder who only wishes to be known as ManTenor, by showcasing a whole bunch of his Hoard that he wants to pass on to the people in more ways than one.



Earlier in the month, ManTenor approached Hoard World and said that he had a bunch of lovely stuff that he'd hoarded over the years and now wanted to find a good home for. But on top of that, he had decided to donate the proceeds of whatever he sells entirely to CHARITY.


Naturally, this sounded like a wonderful idea to us and we wanted to get on board in whatever way we could. Enter: Those wonderful chaps at All Star Comics Melbourne. With their toy cabinet space and our love of taking photos of Hoards hanging out together - we've combined to provide a space for ManTenor to display his items and the means to sell them.





100% of the proceeds made on the following sets of toys will be donated by ManTenor in their entirety to LIFELINE.


And so we present to you: CHARITY HOARD.








If you want any of these figures - they are all waiting for you in the ALL STAR COMICS toy cabinet. (In fact they're right next to Hoard World's current batch.)

For exact pricing and a bunch more photos check out the CHARITY HOARD facebook album for details.
