I don’t want to go too much into the history of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) action figures by Playmates, but just know they were released regularly for about 10 years and with each new series, the character variations got more and more varied (and absurd). The thing is, the toys and characters […]
Typically when I hear the word “Smurf” as it relates to the word “Halloween,” I imagine something disturbing like this: Smurf costume photo courtesy of Unreality Magazine. But now, thanks to Schleich, I can now picture this: (Click to enlarge) Ya know, I never thought I’d see the day when I’d put Smurf PVC figures […]
Well, last time I thought I’d show you some cool “knock offs” of your favorite super heroes, but today, we’re taking it to full-on “bootleg.” So what do you get when you combine the world’s three most popular comic superheroes into one figure?

It’s actually this weekend – June 19-21. Anyway, I try to make it there every year. I shop around some for random comics, toys and stuff, but […]
Well, as you’ve seen here before (and I’m sure you’re bound to see again), I have some delightfully horrible Mexican bootlegs to share. (By the way, I hope that Spanish blog entry title is correct. I kind of guessed at it using Babelfish and Google. Who needs to bother learning multiple languages? 😉 ) It’s […]
Hello again. Sorry I haven’t had a new toy up in a while. I was away on vacation, and now I’ve finally gotten around to bringing you more weirdo toy goodness. Speaking of weird, here’s a little something i recently ordered from Japan. It actually arrived a couple of weeks back, but I’m just now […]
