Remember these bendy aliens I featured late last year? (Click to enlarge) I found these three guys at the Allentown Antique Toy Show (which I am unfortunately too poor to attend this year). They are part of a series of six aliens called Outer Terrestrial Creatures and were produced by Marty Toy in 1983. Believe […]
“Fwoat wike a buttafwy, sting wike a bee.” Some very familiar words from this adorable, (yet scrappy) little boxing kewpie doll. (Click to enlarge) I don’t know much about the little guy. He’s just as small plastic squeeze toy I found at a toy show… buried in a plastic bin full of crappy McDonald’s Happy […]
So, it all started around November of last year when I was writing my Anniversary Madballs post. While searching online for various tidbits about the origins of Madballs, I came across a bunch of Madballs paraphernalia and other toy images, but I was quickly overcome with excitement when I discovered these guys.

Here we go again! Another series of Madballs to follow up the rebirth from last year! Basic Fun has really dropped the ball (no pun intended… seriously) on the latest series of Madballs. The first series really looked great, but it looks like they intentionally sucked the life out of these classic characters. They’re not […]

Just like I remembered them…. He-Man (Click to enlarge) Skeletor (Click to enlarge) Masters of the Universe my ass! These guys are masters of […]
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, over the past several months, I’ve been posting random toys hoping to gather insight on what they are and where they come from. I’ve been successful in a lot of cases, but other times I ask the readers to speak up and help me out. While doing this, I’ve accidentally become the weirdo toy […]
Here we are again. A down-on-his-luck homeless toy. They’re always getting in the way when rummaging through the toy bins at fleamarkets and toy shows. And what do we have here? A filthy, dirty, naked… stuntman. (You remember this guy’s buddy don’t you?) I never would’ve expected to find another one of these guys, but […]
