SDCC 09: DKE Sample Sale

This is a bit late on posting, but oh well... On the last day of SDCC, the DKE booth had a sample sale on almost everything in their display cases. Everything except for items that have not been released yet. So I have to wait to get the white Camilla d'Errico Kuro plush and Miss Cupcake figures by Olive47 that come out in a few months. That did not mean that I did not purchase anything by any means...

I was able to get a Green Guni-Guni from the World of DreaminGirl. I saw a review about these on Plastic and Plush a while back and wanted to get one of these. Thought the design was very unique and interesting. Lucky for me the DKE booth had one in the display case... and it was a green one too. The only thing it did not come with is the black drawstring bag and mug, but I think those were for the first 25 orders on the website or NYCC in 2007.

I could not resist picking up thse two Little Miss Egg Tarts by Cutesypoo Toys. One is happy the other is sleeping. From what I know about these is that they came out last year and are limited to 500 each. If you like garden gnomes, they have these really cool looking, handmade, cone-shaped plush ones on their website. Hopefully they get some mass produced or I may have to get one of these instead... Or the Miss Rocketpop plush.

Not sure how I missed these when they were released, but I did. These are 2 of the 3 Doolie Boxes by Anna Chambers. I have a few of her other limited edition plush items that she released: Lucy Owl (burgundy), Suzy and Sammy. These 2 are: TooBaa (in purple) and TeeHee (in blue). The one I am missing is BooHoo (in green). All are limited edition and stackable. Which makes it easier to store and display.

The last thing I got from the sale (and did not take a picture of to post) was the Mothman/Flatwoods Super Market figures by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. I am not sure why I didn't have these before then, since they were only $10 when they came out. Think I got them for $7. They came without the bag and header card though.

There may have been a few other items I wanted to pickup, but really need to control my spending a little. I hope they have this sale again next year. Will really have to take this into consideration when planning my budget for next time. Found some really good stuff that I was not expecting to get at all.
