Where's Minty?: Antiques Again

All the pics this time are from the Antiques Mall in Virginia Beach. It's a giant store full of old stuff. You could easily take hundreds of pictures in there, so I hope you're okay with the few I took.

Super old video games! I can't even pick one to make a joke out of. Um, how about the Oscar the Grouch game? Did they pick that out of the trash?

More ancient games. If only there was an easy way to check them out. You need to get old consoles, and maybe even old televisions to hook them up to. So complicated.

Super-obscure Star Wars character. This guy is the pilot of the Tantive IV which is the very first ship seen in Star Wars when it was fleeing the Star Destroyer in the first (fourth?) movie. Yes, I had to look that up.

Another super cool name for a Transformers character. Alpha Bravo sounds awesome, doesn't it?

Equally silly names from Transformers. Were they napping when they came up with Dillo the armadillo and Mol the mole? So terrible it's hilarious.

This is NOT a Transformer, but it sure does look like it! Can you copy a box design any better?

I didn't recognize this character from Fate Extra Last Encore anime. I looked it up and her name is Rani VIII and she was the master of the Berserker servant. Still don't remember her. You can't blame me though, the Fate series has hundreds of characters.

Photon was one of the original toys where you wear a sensor and shoot at your friends with light guns. So... Lunch box! Of course. Everything gets a lunch box back in those days.

We're fans of the Shantae series, so we got excited to see a figure for her. This was very expensive, but I forgot how much.

Pink is not the default colors for these girls from Street Fighter II. You know who these are, right? Chun-Li and Cammy are legendary characters.

Gotta get a smile out of the irony of a girl character in a toy line called "Army Men." Unless we are doing the modern thing where she can identify as a man, and still be a girl? I don't think we're supposed to take it seriously like that, either way.

I think I took this picture before, where the same figure was there twice, one facing towards you and the other from the um... rear. The reason I took this picture again, was that I went with a friend and told them the story, and both figures were still there! You would need to get both of them to have the full story of the crazy packaging, of course.

Custom neon signs. That one says "This is the way" which is from the Star Wars: The Mandalorian series!

Fun signs. I don't need to add anything here.

Is that a replica bottle from the old series I Dream of Genie? So cool! Could you imagine if that was like, her, for real? That series was from a long time ago, and it's possible she wound up in a random antique store... Is that the pilot episode for a new series?!

I'm not trying to boost my ratings by posting smut pictures. I think it's funny that with the Internet being what it is (max smut) you might seriously buy these old Playboy magazines for the now-historical articles, these days. Which was always the funny excuse nobody bought back when there was no internet.

Yikes! They have Madden 99 and Madden 64, what about Maddens 65-98? Did they really make a hundred Madden Football games?! That's a funny joke, but I just googled it, and Google says they made 40 Madden games so far.

They had a super rare, not-released-in-America, Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball 3! In 2016, they didn't even want to risk the controversy debates over a game that revolves around girls in swimwear on the beach, although the game was eventually released years later. The Playstation 4 version had VR Headset mode where you could literally walk around virtual characters. So.... yeah.

There was a recent couple of epic Saturday Night Live skits about George Washington's dreams for the future of America. The host was Nate Bargatze, look 'em up!

This was the professional wrestling version of a comedy duo. Mean Gene was the guy who did interviews with all the people, yet it's always the Hulk Hogan bits that shined like gold.

What If... Disney bought Marvel? Wait... that's us! it really happened! Whoa!

Pitchers are not for sale? That's not confusing at all. If you want to buy this cabinet, what do you do with the pitchers?

Hahahahaha! Women of the Government, posing in a Playboy magazine? Um... They'll probably get fired for doing that, right? If not today, in 1980 they probably would have been fired.

I don't know whether to laugh or scream. Glass Knife. So.... metal detectors are busted now? How old is this thing? Who knows about this?

What beautiful art. Not sure I want to look at a skull in my bedroom all the time though. Yikes.

Who has a hat stand like this? It's only for one hat. I suppose it's cute, if all you have is the one hat.

They need to hang this sign on the front door! What is it doing hidden among the rest of the stuff?

If your name is Glenn, get down to the thrift store, I have a surprise for you! Only for Glenns.

Ironic that the "chase' edition of the Stranger Things Demgorgon has it's face wrapped up, like it's NOT "chasing" you. And the other one is Captain Janeway! When she was sent to prison or something.

Always like taking a picture on the little doorway serving tray statue thing. Is there a name for these? I feel like there's a name for this type of thing.
