As most of you know (and as some have felt), the world’s “financial situation” isn’t too great right now. Here in the U.S., folks are saying we’re in a recession (I think the media helped perpetuate that status with their incessant fear mongering, but nonetheless, that’s where we are). I know a lot of folks […]
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 […]
So, here it is – Part 2 of my toy-finds at the Greater York Toy Extravaganza. Let’s keep it simple and just itemize what makes this toy so weird. Ready? (Click to enlarge) 1. Freaky alien fish face (Click to enlarge) 2. Big, purple, 70s afro (Click to enlarge) 3. Flippers for hands (Click to […]
It’s Halloween! What better way to celebrate than by featuring a horror movie icon on the blog (ooohh scary). (Click to enlarge) (The little guy has a pretty good likeness of actor Robert Englund, huh?) Here we have A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger. Freddy toys have been around as long as I can […]

This guy looks like the bastard offspring of the Terminator’s T-800 and Spaceballs’ Dot Matrix (I could’ve said C-3PO, but that’s a bit too creepy). I didn’t even know robots could have sex. (Click to enlarge) The figure […]
So, what I have for you all today is another Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toy. I know nearly nothing about the show itself, but from what I’ve seen, there are some quirky and bizarre Power Rangers villains out there (I hope they all have a toy likeness). (Click to enlarge) Lucky for us, this guy […]
Here’s one of those random flea market toys I found weeks ago. Another lone, quirky action figure. I wasn’t quite sure what this guy was, but I knew I liked his style. Looks like he should be an evil, menacing villain, but c’mon! He has an arm-swinging action feature (which is broken), a whale on […]
So, what do you get when you cross a gamma-radiation contaminated man with a mutagen-induced mutant turtle? You get this guy. Teenage Mutant Ninja Hulk (Well, maybe he’s more middle-aged than teen-aged). (Click to enlarge) My question is – Is this guy more of a Hulk toy or a Ninja Turtle toy? (Click to enlarge) […]
