I loved this–I’ve never been to Mexico City, and your writeup was cool, funny, informative…I liked it. Great stuff.

Is that a MU Archangel? At $14 that’s a steal compared to the $30 I’ve seen it sell for on ebay.

love all the unique sites and that musuem with the acient art pieces. those super friends toys look like jack in the boxes. that rip off batman looks interesting though i would pass on that game where freddy or Dracula pee on you once you shoot and hit the target

Awesome Blog! I’ve been to Mexico once before and looked for geeky stuff (I might have to write a follow up blog to this) and it looks like we are going back again later this year so I’ll have a new batch of Mexican nerd goodies when I return!

ANDY I didn’t purchase any, I was tempted but they weren’t all that interesting and while it occurred it to me that others might want them I felt it would’ve been a waste of my money that would’ve been better spent supporting small businesses and local merchants. George or Jorge as I will be calling you, I appreciate the comment and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping for it to stir memories in people but knew that it might be lost on some. El Santo is one of the few wrestlers I’m aware of and wanted a nice version of his mask. Thanks again!

Wow I can totally relate, I’ve been to most of the places you visited as I too grew up with Mexican parents, my mother actually is from Puebla. I bet you saw that place where some guy was buried alive with his dead wife alongside of him. And Yea I visited the Volcano’s and the churches and all that but I experienced the same geek out feeling when I saw real toys mixed in with the knock offs at the tianguies or swaps. Is hard to swallow how expensive stores sell for two times the retail, considering minimum wage is 50 bucks a week.

By the way I love the mask, El Santos I believe he’s called nice find. Its also nice to see fellow paisanos, doing big things like writing articles like these.

Very Awesome read. Kudos to you sir.

Hey Ceasar, did you happen to pick up any of those Superman figures at KFC?
