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 […]
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 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 […]
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.

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) […]
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 […]
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 […]
