Ferrero Kinder Surprise Egg Star Wars Happy Hippos - Pt 10 Hippoda (aka Yoda)

I like this figure - there's old Hippoda levitating - what exactly??? OR instead of using Door Dash, he's just summoning his food using The Force!

Applause King Barney Figure

The photo below was culled from fleaBay and while it's poor quality it does appear to show what was listed as a set of seven Flintstones figures produced by Applause in 1990. 

The King Barney featured today was not a part of this particular group so I'm assuming Applause may have made an entire range of Flintstones toys as evidenced by my posts of the Dino in Flintmobile and Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm on Gator Totter. Me thinks it's time to make an effort to see what all Applause made for The Flintstones. As well, this Barney figure isn't marked so he may not even be Applause.

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 15 Set #83003 (2003) - #93003 (2003) British 7th Division (El-Alamein 1942) Pt 3 UK Figure Pose 2

Here's the second of five poses in set #83003 / #93003. This little guy gave me some grief. When trying to attach him to the base, the bottom portion of his right leg came off! It didn't break, but whatever they used as glue gave way and I had a deuce of a time reattaching the leg properly (spoiler alert - it never did go back on correctly)

Ferrero Kinder Surprise Egg Star Wars Happy Hippos - Pt 9 H-IPO (aka C3PO)

Busting out of his suit, H-IPO appears to be holding an oil can which led me to remember that scene in The Wizard of Oz when the Tin Man is trying to get someone to grab the oil can. He keeps repeating, "Oil can" and the Scarecrow replies, "Oil can what?"

Just a random thought
