My First Dirty Babies

My First Dirty Babies

Here are some more of the oddities I found at the Jockey Lot. (Click to enlarge) They’re awfully cute and quirky, but they’re nappy as hell. I’m not sure what these little angels are, but I’m pretty sure they weren’t intended to look like homeless children. (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) […]

WWLJD - What Would Lil' Jesus Do?

WWLJD – What Would Lil’ Jesus Do?

Jesus is back! (Click to enlarge) Only he’s 2 feet shorter?! What the heck? I picked up this little Jesus from the Dollar Tree a long time ago. He was one of a series of biblical figures (maybe I’ll feature the other ones some other day). All of them were squatty for some reason (that’s […]

Kewpie Mario Bros.

Kewpie Mario Bros.

Question: What happens when a classic doll-turned-mascot of a Japanese mayonnaise company is combined with an equally iconic Japanese video game mascot? You get a weird, effeminate, childish mustachioed plumber. I’m sure you recognize the iconic Kewpie Doll. You may not know it, but this character is actually a mascot of the ever-popular Japanese Kewpie […]

For the Love of Dunny

For the Love of Dunny

Here we have the little Dunnys by Kidrobot. I’m sure you all have seen these small, designer bunny toys. They’re figures made of soft, smooth vinyl, and they’ve been around since 2004. The various Dunny Series are wildly diverse, visually interesting and even somewhat entertaining. The toyline consists of blind-packed (you have no idea what […]

Capt. Dingus Dog (as Laika)

Capt. Dingus Dog (as Laika)

This Blow Up Dolls mini-figure is a depiction of Capt. Dingus Dog as Laika (the Russian dog which was the first living creature from Earth to enter orbit). The astronaut concept is pretty clever, but it is its quirky, beautifully drawn, highly-stylized design that made me fall in love with it. It is visually reminiscent […]

Time to Wind Down

Time to Wind Down

Here’s a look at even more little toys I picked up at the Allentown Antique Toy Show. They’re old wind-up toys. This first guy is just a goofy-looking sheriff with rifle-in-hand and an arrow through his head. I love the expression on his face. It’s the “Crap! Did that just go through my head?” look. […]

Outer Terrestrial Creatures by Marty Toy

Outer Terrestrial Creatures by Marty Toy

Here’s a look at some more toys I picked up at the Allentown Antique Toy Show last weekend. These weird, little, bendy aliens are the Outer Terrestrial Creatures by Marty Toy ©1983. This is one of 5 affordable things at the show (I’m joking… but barely)… (Click to enlarge) … and whadaya know! They’re still […]

Super Juniors - Batman and Robin

Super Juniors – Batman and Robin

“Holy diaper rash, Batman!” It’s Batman and Robin as you’ve never seen them before. They’re 7″ vinyl squeeze toys… and they’re babies. These lil’ fellas were my first find at the Allentown Antique Toy Show. (Click to enlarge) From what I can gather from the legal info on their feet, these toys are called Super […]
