Weirdo Toys' Reader Mail


Justin,

Saw your web site. It was great & interesting.

I collect PVC figures. I have thousands of them.

Here are pics of all the Weird Ball figures.

I have registered with your web site.

Charles.

Glad you like the website. I hope it stays interesting.

I don’t collect PVC figures. I have a few of them.

Thanks for the pics of all the Weird Ball figures.

I’m glad you’ve registered with my web site.

Justin

P.S.
Seriously though, thanks for sharing the pics.
Those guys look great (some of them anyway)! We finally get to see the entire Weird Ball Collectums lineup. It’s also cool to see some decent photos of the toy packaging.

Thanks again for sharing. :)

P.P.S.
For those who missed it, you can read about a couple of these Weird Ball figures here on the Weirdo Toys blog – None Chuck and Runnin’ Ralph

Weirdo Toys' Reader Mail


Hi,
I’ve only recently found your site and what a great site it is. I was recently going through some old stuff of mine, and I came across these action figures. For the life of me, I can’t remember what they were called. I know it’s a long shot, but I was wondering if you or someone you know may have come across them before. The only thing I know about them is you can swap their limbs around and I think each one came with at least an extra arm you could swap over.

Thanks.
Steve

Hey Steve,

Thanks for dropping by the Weirdo Toys site. It’s always a pleasure to hear from the readers and fellow toy lovers.

I like the odd toys you sent in the pic. I’m not quite sure what they are, but they could be related to those old 80s toys that go by the name of ManTech (by Remco). They were just different characters with interchangeable accessories, body parts and stuff.
Anyone else out there have any more idea of what these things are?

Weirdo Toys' Reader Mail

Hi All!

Over the months I’ve shown you random weird toys I’ve gathered, and several of you have taken the time and effort to write to me directly and even share toy finds of your own.

Instead of just letting the messages and photos collect virtual dust in my inbox, i thought I’d start sharing them with all the Weirdo Toys readers.

It’s a little feature I’d like to call “Reader Mail.” (Pretty clever name huh?)

Here’s the first letter I’d like to share:


Bunny BotHey Justin,

(Sung to the tune of Peter Cottontail)

Here comes easter bunnybot,
Yer hoping for candy he aint got,
Clink-clank-clink-clank, easter’s kinda gay
One of a million weirdo toys,
Who aint got crap for girls or boys,
Clink-clank-clink-clank, easter’s kinda gay.

hahahahaha!! I just wrote that especially for you.
:)

Take care,
Chris

P.S. – I have no idea who this rabbit robot is, no markings at all and of course found at a garage sale.


Dr. Bunsen
Hey Chris,

Thanks for the goofy Easter song. A great theme song for a great robot bunny.

I like the robo-bunny, and I know exactly what it is! It’s a character that came with Dr. Bunsen from the Muppets Series 1 by (the now defunct) Palisades Toys (released in 2002 I think). Thanks for sharing!

I need to start going to Garage sales. I had no clue I could find old Muppets toys at them.
