Ninjas!

I've covered many types of toys in my writing for this blog. And while I have occasionally revealed bulk toy buys, I've never really talked about the need for quantity, for quantity's sake. Giant sums of the same toy. Usually bulk buying is something done in order to secure the elusive pig, monster, pokemon or whatever thing you can't seem to get with quarters and mindless cranking of that vending machine handle.

But sometimes it is the sweetness of quantity that make some toys great. These ninjas are such a toy.

This one was plucked from a machine at Fry's Electronics. Not during the visit of record, but a subsequent trip.

These little guys are perfect for a giant collection. Why? It is tough to describe completely.

They come in all those colors, have such subtle variations and are just made for grabbing in handfuls. Not to mention they are ninjas!! Shouldn't pass over that point. My boyfriend, John, has quite the stash of these little guys, or some quite similar ones. (Just one of many testaments to his great taste.)

These ninjas are a perennial favorite, too. They fade for a while, becoming almost impossible to find until one day they bounce back into a capsule machine. So it is fun to have the on-again, off-again obsession with them. You should try it.
