New To The Collection Of Cool


 
 
I was at the Walmart today and saw the Wonder Woman and horse set on the shelves and nearly had a heart attack. I hadn't seen her on any other shelves in the city and this was one I really wanted. 12 inches with rooted hair on both her and the horse and she has a cape. Beautiful.
 
As I was standing there looking at the Monster High dolls I saw a young girl who was maybe ten lead her mother into the aisle and she went right to the Wonder Woman toys. After scanning the shelves she let out a heavy sigh and told her mother that they didn't have the one she wanted. Her Mom grabbed another doll but she shook her head and said she wanted the one with the horse but was resigned to having the doll show above. I flashed a look at her mother to let her know that I was going to approach them and asked the little girl if THIS one was the one she was looking for and told her it was the last one they had. Her eyes just lit up as I asked her if we could trade. Then she asked me if I had seen the movie and I told her that I thought it was great. She said she was going to get the movie on DVD once it came out and that she was going to be Wonder Woman for Halloween. I was suddenly her best friend despite how scary I looked. Obviously I made her day as she skipped away. He mother stopped and came back and thanked me for being so kind. I told her I knew what it was like to be a collector and find the figure you really wanted. I was a cool moment. I will find the horsie set so it was worth giving up my prize for an even bigger one.
