My budget Plants vs. Zombies toys...

You think the title of this post may refer to one of my Plants vs. Zombies collection in one of the parts that I made... Yes, it is! It refers to this set here that I used to have all of them like this:
The unknown Ancient Egypt figure toy set
Excuse about the poor quality of the picture of this set here... Anyway, I will tell the flashback about this set, because that's what the title of this post refers to those figure toys. So, here's the story about it, and also why most of the figures weren't stay in my collection anymore.

Back in mid-to-late of 2014, during I didn't have any of my actual Plants vs. Zombies toys or collectible stuffs that I own straight after I returned my old's friend's KFC Plants vs. Zombies Cabbage-pult, I decided to buy this set. The reason why I bought this back in the day, because I thought this set impressed me, due to well-known plants like Cabbage-pult and Bloomerang were presented nicely in this set (I know if Bloomerang figure wasn't exist in anywhere else that is official back in those days, other than K'NEX and Jazwares).

I bought this set came from an online local toy community who owned all of those PVC toys, including this one. Came in my mail packed inside a box with the name of the toy community itself, and all of the 10 figures were packed in their transparent bags (which is common for those type of the figures).

So far, this set was only my actual Plants vs. Zombies toys that I owned, until I bought all 4 KFC Plants vs. Zombies 2 directly from KFC. Despite this set combined by those 4 toys, it didn't make any conflicts between two of those Plants vs. Zombies figure toy sets.

This set has been worked out pretty well for me to start my actual Plants vs. Zombies collection, despite they're not good for fanatic collectors like me nowadays. However, in 2015 to now, things getting complex that caused most of the figures in this set were forgotten in their final days of me with those figures. With many greater Plants vs. Zombies figure toys that I got from online shops and such more, I decided to give away most of this figure set. 8 of them I gave them to somebody who also loved Plants vs. Zombies, with my message to them, "Don't let them break", said me to them. So, here are the reason why I gave those figures to themselves based on each figures, which most of them connected to the similar toys that are better than those:
  • All 5 mummy zombies: I personally don't like them, despite there are no replacements of all of those zombies. One of the zombie figures has a broken arm, and I didn't bother to glue it up.
  • Bloomerang: The whole boomerang petals were loose, and I didn't bother to glue it up as well. Replaced it with a K'NEX figure of it.
  • Cabbage-pult: The catapult broke, sometimes. Replaced it with K'NEX figure of it, and also my most wanted one that came from somebody who kindly kept that online, the one from KFC in May 2013.
  • Bonk Choy: Not really a fan of this one, because I didn't even touch this so often. Despite there is a KFC toy of it, this figure still exists without any usage before I gave it away, along with the others.
Enjoy!
