Shut it you Slag


The name of this transformer always makes me chuckle like a naughty school boy.  What were the people at Hasbro thinking and even more so how did they get away with it?  I'm sure it is just an innocent reference to the smelting by-product and not some girl who would show you her boobs for 50p round the back of the bike sheds.


Rather more controversial is when Hasbro tried getting away with calling one of their transformers 'Spastic'.  Needless to say they were promptly pulled from the toy shelves and have since become something of a rarity.

Even evil Sith Lords need to unwind.

Turning to the dark side and building a Death Star can take it out of you.  So what better way to relax and get away from it all than taking a cruise on your TIE Fighter chopper.


Yep.  When Darth Vader has had a hard day at the office he just takes off down Route 66 leaving all the thoughts of Palpatine and the Republic Army behind him.

And as he drives into the Nevada sunset one question still lingers in his mind.  "What if...I had remained a Jedi?"

Always use protection...

...Otherwise this might happen.



No you are not looking at the latest offering from Anne Summers.  This is in fact a toy figure from the series 'Yo Gabba Gabba' shown on Nick Jr.  Yep.  This is what kids get to play with these days whilst we had to do with asexual Action Man and Barbie dolls back in the day.

I have to agree with Charlie Brooker on this one but he looks like he's riddled with syphilis.

I need your clothes, your boots and a licensing deal




Have a gander at this humdinger.  Yet another unlicensed, unmarked toy produced in the style of the Terminator.  Just you wait.  We'll all be dressing like this in the future.

What a brilliant paint job and the sunglasses have an inbuilt eyebrow.  There is no doubt that this toy is quite camp.  Just look at those abs and the uncanny schwarzenegger like face.


Hulk smash.  Hulk break!

Have a look at these little beauties.  Looks like the Hulk on the left has been using steroids (despite the fact he has limitless power???).  The origin of these toys remain unknown but rest assured they are really really crap.  Both are made from hollow plastic and I like the addition of the cloth pants.  The Hulk on the right may have some mental issues that need dealing with.  Don't make him angry.  You won't like him dribbling on you when he's angry.

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of toxic plastic!



Ok.  To get the ball rolling here are a pair of pirates that are unknown.  No markings at all but come with some interesting cloth clothing and most likely copies of the Remco Pirates of the Galaxseas series. Answers on a postcard please.
