Indiana Jones - Mola Ram

Having landed in gorgeous LA yesterday afternoon, we set about renting the car that will be our home for the next several weeks and immediately asked the Garmin for worthy destinations. The first place we ended up was The Valley of the Dolls which is the only retail store for Pullip and Blythe dolls on this continent! We enjoyed seeing the products from Jun Planning at this year's Toy Fair, and it was neat and rare to see them actually on retail display. We'll be providing coverage of the Jun Planning booth, hopefully as early as tonight.
 
We then drove around Beverly Hills, bringing back strong memories of Beverly Hills Cop, as he is driving up Rodeo Drive in his crappy blue Chevy Nova. Granted our car was nicer, but my spirit of bemused wonder was, I like to think, identical.
 
As luck would have it, we drove right up to a Toys R Us, and it took very little debate to decide that checking out a few West Coast toy locations was absolutely the right thing to do. So, it is with great delight that the long awaited Mola Ram Mighty Mugg has been added to the Preserve, direct from the Beverly Hills Toys R Us!


The flaming vinyl heart accessory that comes with this figure was one of the favorite things we saw at Toy Fair, and the delay in the appearance of this figure in our small town back home was a source of considerable frustration! It was all worth the wait, though, for the exotic (to us East Coast folks) location that the figure can now be said to hail from. Now, it is time to head South to San Diego, and see what awaits us at the largest show of the year!
