Curro

Curro was the mascot for the 1992 World Expo in Seville, Spain. This figure is not one often seen and I was excited to come across it. Took me a bit to figure out who he even was. There seems to be a bit of a cult fan club around him.

 

Haibao

Haibao was the mascot for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, China. I was excited to find this figure and was honestly a bit hesitant about opening him up, but as you can see I did. It looks like there are 5 versions of this figure (each with a different skateboard). This one is the China Pavilion. 

 

Hamtaro

Stan from Hamtaro, a manga/anime. This is a Bandai blind bag figure from 2021.

 

Turtle Boy

Toy Machine's Turtle Boy released as Tech Deck Dudes Skate Crew Series 3 (top) and Series 4 (bottom). Both series were released in 2002. Wish they would've also made a sect figure.

 

Phinneas

Phinneas from Boo Hollow. This is from series 3 of the Paka Paka surprise capsules from Funko released in 2022. There is also a full-size Funko Pop figure that is nearly identical (except larger). Check out that tombstone skateboard shape!

Phinneas is not the first werewolf to be featured on BPA - check out the Universal Monsters figures.

Check the new monster tag for more monsters!

 

Max Mayfield II

Max Mayfield from Stranger Things returns with this Upside Down capsule toy from YuMe toys released in 2022.

Max's original appearance was as a Funko Pop figure.

 

Pikachu III

Pikachu returns for his 3rd appearance, this time fully poochied out in a move reminiscent of '90s Looney Tunes shirts. I don't think this is officially licensed - a bunch of these showed up in 2023 so I'm guessing that's when it is from. 

Pikachu's earlier appearances were as a figure and a pin.
