My favorite toys in Walmart’s Collector Con event

By

Collector Con is going on right now, and Walmart has a special collection of toys and collectibles just for you. There’s everything from Pokémon cards to collectible super hero pinups. Franchises go from Harry Potter to Shrek. Everything is included and no character is left behind. The result is 10 pages of toys to sort through, however, so somebody had to make some picks of things worth a second look. And this time around, that person is me. Knowing that I can’t make everyone happy without a super long list, here are my favorite toys in Walmart’s Collector Con event. Alternatively, tap the button below to browse all toys.

As hard as it is to believe, there was a time long ago where if you wanted to interact with your favorite franchises, you couldn’t ask an AI to make a scene or wait for the video game to come out… you had to actually have physical objects. The Stranger Things series, firmly set within that time period, is bringing it back with this retro-styled play and scene kit which can be yours for $51.

A perfect gift for the friend you have dirt on, to eternally remind them to keep honest. It’s yours for just $7.
