Like so many other generic hero toys produced through the years, this figure was a badly-executed ripoff of the iconic 80s toyline, Masters of the Universe (unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this character or the toyline he comes from… sorry folks). (Click to enlarge) He’s pretty crummy. If they’d ripped off the molds […]
Deathbot (Click to enlarge) He wants to kill. He loves to kill. He’s programmed to kill. He has “kill” written all over him (on his chest anyway)! Deathbot is a fellow you can find (along with several other recurring characters) on Gama-Go.com – a site dedicated to the art and design of illustrator, Tim Biskup. […]
So… I got this weird figure in my Christmas stocking years and years ago (thanks Dad!). (Click to enlarge) The guy looks to be a monster greaser or something, but he’s not quite the Hell’s Angels motorcycle-riding stereotype.

They actually had success in the mid 80s, combining the gross-out character style of Garbage Pail Kids and the playability of a […]
Thanks to my buddy, Chris, I got word that FAO Schwarz wants you to make your own weirdo toys… straight from your children’s heads using the Make-My-Own-Monster Custom Design Kit. They’ve partnered with the North American Bear Co. to bring you some of the most primitively cool custom dolls you’ve ever seen. Here are a […]
It’s that time of year again. What time is that you ask? Halloween of course. What better way to celebrate than with a thematic entry for such a spooky day. You’ve seen one zombie, you’ve seen ’em all, right? Wrong. Look at this guy. He’s all f-ed up. Naked, Green, Covered with juicy, candy-coated sores, […]
