The last one is a bit of Michelin Man/Thing everlovin’ mash-up. Love it.

You don’t read The Fantastic Four do you? Ben Grimm is NOT a scientist, he was a jet pilot who was chosen by Reeed Richards to pilot the experimental space ship because they were good friends. Sue and Johnny also are not (in the original version) scientists, she was Reeds girlfriend just along for the ride, and Johnny was her kid brother. He was just there because she couldn’t get a baby sitter the night of the flight.

Man… this toys are magnificent! I just can’t stop laughting… I’m from mexico and I remember buying some bootleg toys when I was a kid
(like 20 years ago! hahaha) now I think I should have save all for the enjoyment of future generations!

Maybe when I visit my family there I should look on the flea markets for this hiden gems! and bring back some good examples (if customs don’t try to take them away, like they do with my tequila lasst time aaaggggrrr!!).

By the way the name of the thing is know on the country of the beans and tortilla as “LA MOLE”.

Last one looks like it was based on the Thing solo cartoon HB/RS did in the 70´s

@ pl0xman123 – Thanks for the support. Glad you like

@ mistuh_t – glad I could present your favorite childhood hero as the mutated freak he really is.

@ The Bootleg King – Ha! I know. Glad I can get such strong reactions from the king of bootlegs

Sweet Gawd Almighty!

Man this is a great bunch of weirdness! The Thing was always my favorite comic book character since I was a wee tike so it’s great to see this batch. I think the flack infested bootlegg is probably my fav. It definitely captures Ben’s ugly but loveable qualities.

lol wow! Claymation Thing’s body doesn’t look that bad really, but his face is ridiculous!
The Rock Candy Thing is just.. wtf.. His body isn’t even made right! It looks like they just took a knife or something and just started to hit him with it
Those who made Concave-Head Flack Thing really took the “mutation” part serious.. His hand and face and, pretty much everything, is messed up!

Keep up the good work, man! I love your site!

@ Jason – Thanks for the kind words. Glad I can continue to make you jealous Also, I really should put a downloads section on here huh? I’ll announce it here when that happens.

@ Doddsy – Thanks for the support. I’m glad you finally got to see the THINGs get their time in the Weirdo Toys limelight.

@ Reis – Thanks man. I’m glad I’m still “keeping it weird.” (man, that was lame)

Good to see you back – and to see these guys on the blog! I remember when they arrived on your doorstep, alone and neglected.

Jason — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:53:56 +0000

Man, these guys are fantastically terrible! What a find! They’re all so great in their own way. I think i like Claymation Thing the best. Maybe its the sloppy paint application? Really hard to say.

Thanks for the great post. Weird THINGS did come to those who waited.
Another batch of toys i wish i had. Keep up the great work.

PS. Please consider doing some desktop wallpapers. I’d love the slobberin’ time closeup on my monitor.

@ Mittens – Yeah, he is pretty sturdy. Probably the heavist of the bunch.

@ oldman – Yeah, I have been busy. Glad you like the toys. Thanks for the support.

@ krakit – Yeah, Commish Thing is cool. Too bad you guys can’t truly get a sense of how thin/hollow and crappy this guy is. I also, just took a second look at Claymation Thing. You’re right. He does have something shoved up there

Man, what a collection!
Concave-Head Flack Commish Thing is my favorite
with the Claymation Thing in a close second place.
It’s funny how everyone of them lacks articulation
at the elbows and knees which makes the Claymation
Thing appear to be jogging with something stuck
in his colon. Maybe that’s why his face looks like
that. Poor guy!! Ha ha ha

my work week in a positive note. I always enjoy your Toy finds. I
know others will soon follow with their great comments.

That last one looks so damn sturdy, it looks like about 4 pounds of plastic.
