Warning: This next little bit is just my jabbering on about the blog and my discovery of the Gross Out Gang.
This entry is particularly special to me, because a couple of months ago, when I started this site, I had a simple vision of sharing some weird toys with toy collectors […]
So all those who lost the Madballs they had as kids (and even those who kept their Madballs just to realize they’d disintegrate over time), fret no further. They’re back!
You remember Madballs. They actually had success in the mid 80s, combining the gross-out character style of Garbage Pail Kids and the playability of a ball. […]
It’s that time of year again. What time is that you ask? Halloween of course. What better way to celebrate than with a thematic entry for such a spooky day.

She looks like she […]
So, on Sunday’s trip to the flea market, I also found another quirky old 80’s toy. He wasn’t quite as gross as the Gross Out Gang Pie-Guy I found, but this incredibly stereotypical depiction of the classic ninja made me chuckle. It reminded me of an era of where toy companies obviously weren’t as afraid […]
Well, with the help of a friend (thanks Brian) and a dab of common sense, I now know that the “Pie-Eater” and “Big-Lips” Skilcraft figures are part of a series called the “Gross Out Gang.” That explains the “GOG” on Big-Lip’s pants pocket.
I don’t have any info other than these pics I found online. Anyone […]
