PlaidStallions 9th Anniversary Contest Results

[RSS]

I'm really sorry that I took so long with this one but you people knocked me out with your good ideas that I wish I could give everyone a prize. (I can't do that)

My decision making skills were so bad I had to recruit judges to help me out and I've also expanded the prizes from 3 to 5 just cause I wanted to reward more people.

So with that aside, let's get to the winners

Honourable Mentions

Michael sent in the Holmes and YoYo bank vault, which I'm not convinced isn't a real rack toy.

More after the Jump

Jason mocked up this totally believable Rocky piece. Larami could have made a mint on these in 1986!

• "the Pink lady and jeff learn to speak English rack toy" Grant
• "Gimme a Break Nell Carter Kazoo" Christian
• "The Soap Jodie Dallas Dress Up Set" Mike
• "Planet of the Apes Diving Submarine" Joe
• "Doc Bricker home pregnancy kit" Mark
• "Walton's Science Kit" Dave
• " Welcome Back Kotter Sweathogs Farm Animals Set" Johnny
• "Shaft Fishing Set." Chris
• "Slim Goodbody Parachutist" Anthony

Clay sent in this AHI Dracula Vs Frankenstein Ring, which is so wonderful I want to marry it. Please make me one!


The Winners:


#4 Bo Derek 10 Binoculars



Joe wins a copy of Rack Toys for this great combination of a cheap toy and mildly creepy subject matter. Not that hard to believe to be honest.


#3 Charlie's Angels Shaving Kit





Paul wins a copy of Rack toys for this bit of charming subtlety.






#2 Little House on the Prairie Dinosaurs



A lot of people came up with "inappropriate license plus dinosaurs" but none so much as David, who wins the carded Brick Mantooth figure.

#1 TIE
Maude Stunt Cycle
Bob NewHart Remote Control Zoom Cycle







The judges were split on who looked more ridiculous on a motorcycle, at the end of the day it was decided both were equally hilarious so Steven and Chris both win a Brick Mantooth parachuting figure.

Thanks to everyone for joining in on this one, it was the most fun I've had in a while. Like I said I wish I could hand you all something, thank you!

I'm kicking myself for forgetting to enter, but I couldn't have come up with anything better than these. A big chuckle first thing in the morning is a sign of good work! Congrats to everyone!

[Brown Bear]

Fun idea. Great submissions by all.

[CrimsonGhost]

HOW in the WORLD did I miss this contest?!?! Aw, man! Hopefully there will be another one ... 10th anniversary maybe.

I think I just woke up my wife in the next room by laughing out loud at the Little House On The Prairie Dinosaurs, hah!

Some great submissions there, awesome.

Did anyone suggest a Kojak comb and brush set?

[thunderbolt]

Love the LHOTP Dinosaurs!! Bob Newhart on a motorcycle is gold, too.

[PNGwynne]

Maude could really have done that, you know. And nobody would have dared say the show "jumped the shark."

Great stuff.

[Wee67]

I would be all over that Bob Newhart Stunt Cycle. Of course, that would make me want a Mary Tyler Moore Parachutist.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

These are all fantastic. Wish I had seen sooner. I would have gone with a Schneider utility belt from One Day at a Time or a Clayton Endicott\Benson bubble "machine" squeeze bottle with wand.

Maude & Newhart entries: Well deserved tie!!! Can't stop laughing
