Dunnys: A new obsession

Yet another affliction that I had previously managed to avoid has finally gotten the better of me.  Dunnys.  The desire for these little vinyl toys first approached me during Whiskerino 2005.  I shot it down and moved on.  It tempted me again and again over the years, but I always managed to walk away, glancing back each time with a tiny tear leaving my eye.

I can resist no longer.  I’ve always been into toys, so this is cool, right?  This is just… natural…

Dunnys on my desk.

A chic toy store in Green Hills, PoPo, now offers the little delights at retail price.  Being near the Starbucks Lana manages, it’s convenient now… so I bought one and now I can’t stop. [I can blame all this on Lana, right]

I’m on the kidrobot forums talking about them and trading for them.  I enter the kidrobot Tuesday contest with unbridled enthusiasm.  I even read the emails kidrobot sends me about events that i can’t attend and new, rare Dunny releases that I can’t afford.

I could go on, but it will just get more embarrasing from here.  If there are any Dunny folk out there, hit me up and we’ll travel the path of addiction together.

Bah!  The lack of a mySQL or any other type of SQL structure for FoxyCart’s XML datafeed on this great interwebs has prompted me to post the one I created.  Feel free to use it.  Save some precious time.

This FoxyCart to mySQL db design should be viewed mainly as a solid start (I certainly modified it past this) and also as a good representation of FoxyCart’s version .8 XML datafeed in a usable database structure.  If you found this by searching Google, then you know what you’re looking at and know what to do with it… if otherwise, just email me.  I’m glad to help.
