You know what’s great about authoring a toy blog? Finding and connecting with fellow toy nuts like yourselves. Know what makes it even better? When we toy nuts share with each other. I’m not even talking about sharing thoughts, photos, etc. That’s truly great, but I mean literally just giving each other toys. (Maybe I […]
Unlike all the other cool “geek bloggers” out there, I don’t have a 30-day countdown to Halloween. Sorry folks 🙁 But I do have something cool, quirky and creepy for ya. (Click to enlarge) Do you recognize this guy? I’ll give you a hint. It’s where Shepard Fairey got the whole “OBEY” schtick. Still nothing? […]
Remember the New Adventures of He-Man? I discussed it briefly a couple years ago. You see, I never really knew about the New Adventures of He-Man cartoon as a kid. I never watched the show or knew the characters or anything like that. I was already out of my Masters of the Universe toy phase, […]

Funny thing is, I’d never […]

I introduced him on the blog last year as an “Outer Terrestrial Creature,” but as you can see here, he was also released as a “Li’l Bendable Gremlin Creature.” Looks like he’s still “ugly but loveable.” (Click to enlarge) So what’s with the alternate name? (Click to […]
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 […]
I found some freakin’ great toys recently, and I have no idea what they are. They look like B-List wrestling stars. I’m not much into wrestling toys (or wrestling in general), but these guys make me wanna give them a chance. The characters are so absurd, I’d love to see them in the WWE ring. […]
