I agree a whole board might be too much. I was hoping to maybe just add some small discussion section to this site. It could be cool to have a home for "weirdo toy" discussion. I think I'd have to reformat things a bit. Also, I just posted the THING toy that you've so eagerly awaited. I hope the head was better than your imagination could've ever conceived. @ Mistuh_T and Krakit. – Thanks for the input. I agree a whole board might be too much.

Also, I just posted the THING toy that you’ve so eagerly awaited. I hope the head was better than your imagination could’ve ever conceived.

It appears to be The Thing's body from Fantastic Four, but I doubt the face/head is going to resemble him. Yesterday a friend of mine found a robot body with a girl's doll head attached at a Thrift store. We tugged on it and spun the head around and it appears to actually be something the manufacturer put together! Crazy!! I'm sharing this because I would love for there to be a forum where weirdo toy fans could get together and talk and post photos of all kinds of weird toys. At a forum I could post a photo of this toy and get feedback on the head and body to see if anyone knows if the toy is legit or a really solidly built homemade toy. I really like mistuh_t's suggestion about a toy forum creating a place within itself dedicated strictly to the Weirdo Toys crowd. I’m interested in seeing what’s behind your thumb.

It's also really easy to see what all your friends are up to as there is a feed that shows you up to the minute info of what your friends are feeling, what events they are going to, what pictures they uploaded, etc. basically a stalkers wet dream. Basically if you want to know what your friends are doing without actually talking or communicating with them your set. to Justin: I think the idea of a message board is fun, but since this is such a narrowed down topic, I really don't think a whole message board would be the best avenue. A couple Ideas are: what you did make a fan page on facebook(a lot of people hate facebook though) Start a flickr group, which allows a small message board on the main group page, see if there is another message board that wouldn't mind hosting a weirdo toys category and allowing you to moderate and whatnot. Octobertoys.com and Vinyltoyfreaks.com are two that come to mind that do this already for some other artists. And yes I want a full review on the ugliest aka awesomest thing toy I've seen to Krakit: the reason most people prefer facebook to myspace is because it’s sleeker and doesn’t allow people to add two trillion images and sparkling gifs all over there page to make it take like 15 minutes to load.

There really is no reason to join Facebook. I know tons of folks that love it and live on it. I don't use it very often. You are also correct in recognizing my attempts to start a discussion board. I figured this is a quick/easy test or startup version. I am not really sure if I even know how to start a discussion board or if anyone would even participate. There are plenty of boards out there are now ghost towns, and I figured I didn't want to contribute to that. So... readers. If you really would prefer a full-on discussion board, I'll make it happen (if it's affordable). :D Krakit, you are correct.

Are you planning on the Weirdo Toys Facebook to act like a forum for toy fans to interact on? Or is it supposed to be something else? If it's supposed to be like a forum, maybe having an actual forum would work better - I don't really know. I'm just throwing that out there. If anyone reading this can explain why Facebook is really worth joining, I'd like to hear what you have to say. I’ve resisted joining Facebook since it seems like
