Rub-a-Dub-Dub 2 Clauses in a Tub

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

I recently realized I don’t have any weird Christmas-themed toys lying around, so yesterday, I decided to go on a search for something odd to feature on the blog. I really had no idea where to start. Luckily, a friend of mine recommended a place filled with all kinds of random crap – Wilsons 5¢ […]

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 […]

Weird Ball - “Runnin’ Ralph”

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Well, well, well. If it isn’t another Weird Ball figure by Mel Appel and Crayart. If you don’t remember Weird Ball cards or figures, don’t fret. I had no idea what they were either, until I managed to shed some light on the subject in my previous entry about “None Chuck.” And just like our […]

Warning: This next little bit is just my jabbering on about the blog and my discovery of the Gross Out Gang.

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 […]

Axe’s Pitman Keychain

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

In 2004 Axe attempted to appeal to guys with an ad campaign featuring a cartoony armpit character named Pitman. The ads were based on the idea that Pitman is a hit with the ladies because he is so dry.
There’s nothing sexier than dry armpits, right ladies?
