The second mouse from the right looks surprisingly similar to Kranxx from SP3:

It was a followup line to the GoBots produced be Tonka in 1986 that featured
transforming rock people known as the Rock Lords. The story follows Boulder,

a Boulder toy, and it features amazing articulation and detail not really seen
anywhere else! Unfortunately the brand never made it past the theatrical film,

I love MASK! it really is a shame that other than a few comic book reboots, MASK
has never been that popular compared to other brands.

Oh, I forgot to finish the quote; "When the only tool you have is a hammer"
you have no other tools.

My find wasn't nearly as cool.

I was feeling packets* and found one with 2 heads, so I bought it thinking it
was Pinocchio. Nope, it was Tiana with 2 heads.

I never saw that film, so I wasn't really interested in having her, but the
figure is actually quite nice.

* I try to be quick about it, to not be that Lego weirdo.

To be honest, there are much worse scenarios as far as where a nose could be
