Friday Double Feature

Oddball figure Friday
Today's oddball is this thing
  I dont know exactly what he is but he looks like a mix of Diamond Dallas Page 
and Calibos from Clash of the Titans. 
What ever he is I love his profound ugliness just the same .
*Update*! I was informed that this is another one of the apes attacks figures like I featured a month or so back on oddball figure Friday. 
 It seems that he comes in all kinds of ugly colors.


Five Buck Film Friday
Today's pick is also from the gas station movie bin like last weeks .This is Phil the Alien
This movie hales from the home country of the Cave of Cool  (Canada) and is extremely strange. It runs the gauntlet from talking beavers to secret alien killing hitmen with a base behind Niagara falls. This was a fantastic movie despite being low budget and as a suprising bonus had an exclusive to the movie song by   Mark Lanegan the former lead singer of  Screaming Trees (one of my absolute favorite bands of all time).This is one of the five buck movies that I feel is worth well more than what I paid for it and that is rare.

I give this movie 4 out of 5 Moggs

  3. I don't collect these goofier toys but I can sure see their appeal. What kind of toys do you sell for 1 dollar a pound anyways. I wish I could attend your event. Take lots of pics for us will ya?

    1. The cheap goofy toys are awesome because almost every one of them is unique due to very poor paint application. For 1 dollar a pound I got some pretty decent stuff but I had to dig through a mountain of fast food toys to get it. Picture are coming soon :)

  4. I love the totally mismatched head for the body on your first photo. It looks like his hand was supposed to hold something, do you know what?

    1. Looks like he came with both a gun and a mace depending on the color scheme of the figure.
