So, a while back, I discovered a great website – HorribleLogos.com. (It is actually a great example of what I’ve expected the new trend in design to be – intentionally BAD design.) The premise of the site is you pay $5, and you get a really bad logo. Out of curiosity, I ordered a Weirdo […]
A month or so back, I was poking around a toy show, and as usual, I didn’t find much that interested me. (That kind of thing happens when your tastes become more and more obscure I guess… dang it) In sad situations like that, I eventually get to the point where I’m thinking, “I paid […]
I’d like to dedicate this “children’s toy themed” blog entry to my newborn son, Andrew. I’m new to this thing called fatherhood, but I’m loving every minute of it… well, that is until he’ll starts playing with my toys 😉 Over a decade ago while I was in college, my brother, Jason, and I stumbled […]

Again, I wish I had toys for all of you, but these are just coming from my personal collection. (I do have t-shirts for sale […]
It’s that time again – Weirdo Toys’ Birthday! The site is 3 years old today. (What does that mean exactly? I dunno. I guess it means I still have enough money to keep the site alive. Ha!) It’s usually this time of year that I like to look back and reflect on what’s happened with […]
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but my dad has a healthy interest in my toy hobby, and yet again, he’s uncovered a gem for us all. Sometime last year, he surprised me with an entire case of “Creepy Freaks” by WizKids (I think it was my birthday or something. I don’t recall.) (Click to […]
