Big Strike - Head Bangers (Funrise)

Still cannot find the Sewer Shredders Casey Jones Toy so I Recoloured the Cheapskate Sprite instead

(It probably a Crappy Toy but I still wanna get Every 1987 Casey Jones Toys I could find)

Not exactly a mystery box, but I does contain mysterious things. Behold, three Ebay purchases with combined shipping.

Purchase #1: vintage MOTU goodness. I've been after Beast Man and Grizzlor, so that's a couple more off the list. Buzz-Off's in decent shape, but he's extra. Ditto that Skeletor. The Landshark sealed the deal, really: mine took a shelf dive and broke both gun mounts, but everything else besides the right cannon survived.

Oh, happy day! Totally had Grizzlor's crossbow in there too. A damn fine specimen overall; almost no damage at all.

Purchase #2: this rubber Viking head. It's one of those hand puppets with 3-4 finger holes in the back. Contort your digits to make the face look even sillier. It's minutes of fun. But it's significantly older than myself from the look and feel, and there's a definite charm to it.

And then there's Purchase #3: just, so many rubber bugs. The suction-cup grasshopper is a tough sort of rubber, with delightful old-school bottle-brush feet. The crickets are good jiggly rubber, but likely not 70s.

In the way of "pest" species, I scored two decent roaches, and a laughably crude one that looks more like a half-engorged tick in this shot. It's the sort of peach-colored, slightly translucent rubber you'd see sometimes in party supply stores.

A pair of jiggler ants are hilariously warped in their old age, while the central one is a late 80s release from Funrise, apparently a bighead ant. Also from Funrise are the fruit fly and tsetse fly, which are interesting choices. The bulk of the Diptera are very nice dual-injected rubber pieces.

Arachnid-wise, I'm most excited about the unpainted Hong Kong scorpion. The large, colorful spiders are large plastic knockoffs of the vendingachine jiggler toys immediately below them.

Two Creepy Crawlers tarantulas were a fun surprise, as is the tiny (and obvious) Ben Cooper tarantula KO. That little scorpion, though? Very strange. It's rocking a kickass three-tone gradient, and is about the consistency of a really really soft sticky toy, but with very little in the way of stickiness. It reminds me of the tentacles on those Blok Bots Mutroids.

Too deep?

Oddballs are an early 90s arcade prize centipede, a snail and slug (and caterpillar) cast in trans green rubber, a couple Creepy Crawlers beetles, a fat lizard, two plastic ladybugs (molded and painted with one eye each), and a few tiny bugs I missed at first. The snail is of particular notice: that's all one piece, but at a glance, it looks a lot like two. Really good paint work there.

A fine haul, all in all.

It’s finally here! The first unboxing video for a brand-new toyline from Funrise called Furlings, expected to launch in August 2024!

It took me a bit longer to finish editing the video than expected, but it appears I’m still the first to the punch! Months of investigation seems to have actually paid off big time.

I don’t know when this is officially getting revealed, and lack of official info unfortunately did limit this preview massively, but I hope what I was able to make of this is still somewhat interesting.

Mkay, so far the Fashion Star Fillies will get to stay with my personal herd of mostly Breyers. The FSF are all 80s and like Jem and the Holograms if they were horses.

The Minnie Winnies will go. The Funrise barn and friends will go, the missing gate and fence are still being found. The big ass Marx will go. Other Breyer and similar looking horses will go. A butt load of smaller assorted plastic horses will go. And I still have a bunch of G1 My Little Ponies that are in my closet that I don't feel like physically getting in to for awhile because I still have to sort a butt load of smaller assorted plastic horses.

So the tub with the other Marx, Fashion Star, and Breyers like Misty better not be in my closet.

Yes that means the last round of Ladybug Notes is finished. Now I just need to go thru all 30 pages and get all the Cat Blanc together and so on.

Converting files to try and do a decent job on the Start The Commotion video idea. Will post it here if it works out. I know what I'm talking about. Been harboring a version of this idea since 1996 and I might have been thinking of using Living on Video by Trans-X. Go have a listen, I'll wait.

In my day you could get the uncensored Holiday in Cambodia, the extra long version of Nowhere Girl, and here's Depeche Mode's latest controversial single in the same music block.

Who would ever let their children listen to Nowhere Girl by B Movie? :p

Wait until after reading this to listen to the long version of Nowhere Girl by B Movie, it's like the DJ is going to the bathroom here's Stairway to Carouselaramba for you.

Told you I listen tot he bands on my shirts.

I need a Daft Punk shirt but I want it to say garlic bread on it.

That better be google translated French for garlic bread.

Just learn Funrise has made Two Casey Jones Toys and I want them

(Even though Funrise's Casey Jones Toys are meant for Children and they're probably Bad but I'll still get them because I'm a Fricking Wh**e for 87 CJ at this point)
