I recently attended a toy show where I dug up what could be some of the most obscure 80s toys in existence. (Sounds pretty dramatic, huh? Well, maybe the most obscure toys I own.) Seriously though. Look at these guys. It’s a freakin’ oatmeal monster and the Quaker Oats guy as a He-Man figure. (Click […]
You know what’s great about authoring a toy blog? Finding and connecting with fellow toy nuts like yourselves. Know what makes it even better? When we toy nuts share with each other. I’m not even talking about sharing thoughts, photos, etc. That’s truly great, but I mean literally just giving each other toys. (Maybe I […]
A month or so back, I was poking around a toy show, and as usual, I didn’t find much that interested me. (That kind of thing happens when your tastes become more and more obscure I guess… dang it) In sad situations like that, I eventually get to the point where I’m thinking, “I paid […]

Wouldn’t it be great if you could easily transform such cutesy-ass characters into something mildly disturbing? You know, something like this? (Click to […]
You know what? I’m not the all-knowing weirdo toy guy you think I am. Sometimes it’s you guys who introduce me to cool, weird toys. … And I thank you. (Click to enlarge) Like this guy for example. I never knew he existed. This little gem of a toy came to me from a new […]
On the Weirdo Toys blog, it’s always been my mission to uncover rare and strange oddities, but this time I’m onto something really special. I’ve just uncovered this undiscovered etching of a long-forgotten ancestor in our evolutionary heritage. (Click to enlarge) It looks like this new “creature” is a mutated step between gorillas and humans. […]
