Teenage Mutant Ninja Hulk

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

So, what do you get when you cross a gamma-radiation contaminated man with a mutagen-induced mutant turtle? You get this guy. Teenage Mutant Ninja Hulk (Well, maybe he’s more middle-aged than teen-aged).

My question is – Is this guy more of a Hulk toy or a Ninja Turtle toy?

Captain Bizarrly

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Well, last weekend I took a trip to the Anderson Jockey Lot, and surprisingly, I actually found a handful of things. I’ll share them all with you over the next few weeks, but let me start things off with this freak.
I don’t know what I’ve found here. This guy looks like he’s the alien leader […]

Generic, Two-Faced Barbarian

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Like so many other generic hero toys produced through the years, this figure was a badly-executed ripoff of the iconic 80s toyline, Masters of the Universe (unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this character or the toyline he comes from… sorry folks).

He’s pretty crummy. If they’d ripped off the molds from […]

Wow! It’s the first robot I’ve posted on the blog (and I’m sure it won’t be the last)! Let’s check ‘im out.

I found this toy at a flea market a couple of years ago. It may not seem like much. I think its biggest appeal for me initially was its creepy, […]

Go-Go Gadget Toy!

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

It’s everyone’s favorite mechanical crime fighter (other than Robocop)! Here we have an old 12″ Inspector Gadget by Galoob dated 1983.

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 show starred […]

Super Juniors - Batman and Robin

Monday, November 5th, 2007

“Holy diaper rash, Batman!”
It’s Batman and Robin as you’ve never seen them before. They’re 7″ vinyl squeeze toys… and they’re babies.
These lil’ fellas were my first find at the Allentown Antique Toy Show.

From what I can gather from the legal info on their feet, these toys are called Super Juniors (©1978 DC […]

A Mickey by any other name…

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

So, a Disney toy is making an appearance on the Weirdo Toys blog.

Well, not exactly.
I recently discovered this primitive “Micky Mouse” in an article over at Boing-Boing, that discusses the controversial origins of that punk “Mickey Mouse” and his toys.
Allegedly, Performo-Toy Company were selling Micky Mouse toys before the Disney character ever existed. There […]
