This cutout (decoupage) set reminds me of this 3-D Esso toy we featured as Rare Swag awhile back. And it may still be available on eBay here .

A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Bon Appetit’s “Fat Chefs” & Scooters.
We’ve featured some scootering chefs in the past but this is quite the bonanza.
The first three photos feature the chefs made by Benzara. They are made out of “polystone” and cost around $39.95 for the set. I wasn’t able to find the trio in a set but now you know what to look for.
The other chefs are made by Bon Appetit and are a bit trickier to find.
Speaking of tricks, I like to use Google Alerts as well as eBay Saved Searches to hunt down treasures.
Thanks to Cassie for these finds!
Cuter Commuters.
Here are some additions for your Lemax Christmas Village or for your general decor. They are polyresin and measure approximately 3.54 x 2.95 x 1.42″. A steal at $5.39.

Daniel Smith in Waxahachie, Texas
Thanks for sharing your amazing collection with us Daniel! I don’t remember ever seeing an Vespa Ape model before.
No Deadpool. It’s a scooter.
For a sec I thought this was another Spiderman on a scooter but that goes to show you my lack of knowledge on the subject of superheroes. Forgive me. This is Deadpool, who will be played by Ryan Reynolds (aka Green Lantern) in 2014. Wikipedia describes this Marvel character as a “disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary” who was originally a villain but now is an antihero or the “Merc with a Mouth.” Swoon!
The top figurine pictured is one of those pricey limited edition collectibles and can be yours for $319.00. The bottom figurines go to the rare swag category but are probably available is you’re willing to dig both in your wallet and through the web. Maybe we’ll be lucky and Ryan will be riding a scooter in the movie which will mean movie toys!
Thanks to Tom C. for this find.
This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag:
Hello Kitty & Tokidoki Japanese Toy
Back in November 2011, the Japanese proved yet again how rad they are by releasing a bunch of Hello Kitty & Tokidoki designed toys in their 7 ELEVEN (!) stores.
These can still be found on eBay for around $10 including shipping.
