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. Take a good look at his pompadour hairstyle, orange leather jumpsuit, blue gloves, blue elf boots and […]
Ever wonder what the offspring of a Troll and the Wolfman would look like? (Sure, we all have.) Well, ever wonder what that offspring would look like dressed as Little Red Riding Hood? (Really?

It’s everyone’s favorite mechanical crime fighter (other than Robocop)! Here we have an old 12″ Inspector Gadget by Galoob dated 1983. Go-Go Gadget Copter! (Click to enlarge) For those who don’t remember Inspector Gadget, I’ll try to sum him up quickly. It was an 80s cartoon inspired by the old spy show, Get Smart. The […]
