    ok what is the weirdest toy you own?

    ok taking a que (and not trying to thread steal) from RCHE's topics of weirdest accessory and weirdest action figure, how about just weirdest toy in general?

    I bought this thing back in the early to mid 80's. It uses those popular (at the time) rubber faces with the 3 holes in the back to make the face move.

    This battery op toy had a device in the head to contort the face, it swayed from side to side (but the feet stayed in place), the axe lights up red and it plays the song "when the saints go marching in". It makes absolutely no sense at all.

    It gained in popularity back then becasue it was later shown on the Tonight show With Johnny Carson.

    I forgot the actual title this odd toy went under, but here he is below:

    According to my friends, any of them. Most people who don't collect toys think it is weird for adult men to do so.

      I always found things like that funny because most of non toy collectors will have a slew of video games and other "nerdy" crap which is no different than what we do

        I have a few that are a little odd.

        The Boba Fett motorcycle is odd- I also have the Luke Skywalker and will have Darth Vader (if the ebay seller with the broken leg gets it in the mail).


        Another odd one is my Action Man Dr X with "Toxic Gut"!




        I love the box art- he's saying Oh Yeah! I got an exposed toxic gut!! What are you gonna do about it, hero??

          Empire Hulk helicopter. How is the Hulk supposed to pilot a helicopter? He has the intelligence of a head of lettuce.

            OK Maz, that rubber face thing is just plain weird. Seriously lost in translation from concept to execution on that one.

              Gre-Gory and Suckerman. A large toy bat with blood pumping clear guts and a rubber alien covered in suction cups. Mattel used to make some really cool and strange toys.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                Maybe the weirdest toy I have is a Glow-in-the-dark Lady Death action figure? It's like the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story". Glowing Sexual Plastic is hard to resist.

                        I think these guys are on the strange side... Coco Boy and Skull Bonz.

                        Figures based on a sprawling back story developed around the artwork on the cover of a Japanese heavy metal bands record. The main character being Cocobat Joe, who is a grasshopper kickboxer. These guys are mortal enemies, who for some reason, wear crocodile masks and fight. A lot. The box has a big fold out comic, but all I really get out of it is that they fight... a lot. Skull Bonz, the copper colored guy has a skull under his croc mask, Coco Boy, has a human head under his mask. And he wears glasses.

                          I like weird toys. 60s and 70s were the best for them.

                          I don't own anything weird. Although some other might find them weird.

                          Like these:



                          Or my Emerald the Enchanted Witch doll from the 70s, mostly because it's a girl toy.
