Gross Out Gang

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 […]

“What, Me Worry?”

Monday, November 19th, 2007

So, I’ve been milking the toys I found at the Allentown Antique Toy Show for all they’re worth, but worry no more. This is the last one.

By now, you all can guess what drew me to this goofball. What’s not to love about a squatty, nappy-headed, balding Alfred E, Neuman lookalike dressed in […]

Time to Wind Down

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Here’s a look at even more little toys I picked up at the Allentown Antique Toy Show. They’re old wind-up toys.
This first guy is just a goofy-looking sheriff with rifle-in-hand and an arrow through his head. I love the expression on his face. It’s the “Crap! Did that just go through my head?” look. He […]

It’s Batman and Robin as you’ve never seen them before. They’re 7″ vinyl squeeze toys… and they’re babies.

Here are my impressions:
1. I was the only guy under 50 in that place.
Seriously. I felt like I was surrounded by my grandparents. It wasn’t a big deal, but unfortunately, this […]

Captain Cavewoman?

Monday, October 8th, 2007

So, I found this nappy, scraggly, disgusting piece of plastic at a flea market years ago. Funny thing is, this little lady looks like she might actually have fleas.

It seems like she’s a finger-puppet or something (the ugliest finger-puppet a mother can buy but a finger-puppet nonetheless).
She looks like she […]

Naked Ninja Stuntman

Monday, October 1st, 2007

His name says it all.
Well, maybe it’s not his real name, but it’s all I can come up with to describe what the heck this guy is. Just look at him: a ninja with a helmet, a star belt and boots… completely flesh-toned (caucasian flesh that is).
The poor guy’s been abandoned, but I really enjoy […]
