Wizard of Oz: Twister Store






Last week, we drove to Universal Studios as part as a small tradition I have with my dad to go there every year. We normally visit only Islands of Adventure because it has many more roller coasters, which we greatly enjoy, but this year we decided to return to Universal Park after 5 years. We got in the "Twister" Movie experience, and the shop outside of the ride had a lot of tornado-related souvenirs, some of them being, well, Wizard of Oz. I love Wizard of Oz merch, it's a huge part of my collection, but I've become a little more selective as to what kind of toys I acquire, and of course, the amount of money I want to spend. There were some seriously adorable figures there, I really enjoyed the ballerina figures, the small snow globes,  the salt/pepper Ruby Slipper shakers and the mugs! Those mugs! I was really tempted to buy at least one coffee mug.

I had the potential to cut loose and buy everything in sight but had to limit myself to only one product. I chose the "Are you a good witch or a bad witch" figurine that has all three main characters I collect, but the price was about $45. Not cheap. I eyed the price tags on the other toys only to realize they were slightly out of my comfort zone, so I completely had to walk away. Sad. But these pictures will forever remind me how purty the toys look and Who knows?! I  might go back some day and buy them all! :D
