The fugliest toys you have seen while collecting.

Yeah, i immediately thought of the Popsoda Baron and Mini Baron. Same for some of the earlier art toys like Robert mentioned, but yeah, nowadays i can't help but see it as a tad obvious and contrived.

 

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter ...

 

I swear to Christ, that Astro Boy thing looks like Ronald Reagan in cosplay. I may have said that already, but it’s worth pointing out again.

 

Yeah it looks like that's what the sculptor was going for.

 

The last sculpt… It has to have been sculpted while on LSD. I don’t want to believe a sober mind thought this shit up.

 

@Roger If that’s what the sculptor was goin’ for, mission accomplished, but…why?

 

If there was enough effort made there for an "artist's statement" then it's something about a American president that was associated with nuclear escalation mashed up with a character named "Atom." That's all the conceptual juice I can squeeze out of that rotten thing.

 

potentially cool monster branded into oblivion

 

There are a lot of potential references for Ultima Thule, but since this is the fugly thread, this is the first thing I thought of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Society

 

apparently based on a sea monster from an old map.I have thought about potential toy designs based on similar beasts from antique sea charts.
Shame to see a possibly interesting design ruined.

 

Why not just incorporate the monogram from the box art? Uggggh.

 

I'm all for branding, but Just . . . WOW!

 

I am like a moth to the flame with this thread.
Moog is doing the lord's work.
I do think some of Dr Chickeye's stuff has a sort of childlike charm to it though, not that I own any.

 

Yeah, I hear ya. Its certainly better than some of the other shite they've produced. And when I say 'produced' I mean hacked-at with blunt tools.

 

Check TAG site; some of these are starting to break through. As Lou Reed said; "It's a New Age". Bwahahaha.

 

That fucking frog thing is the gift that just keeps giving.
Please make it stop

 

This has been featured here to much criticism, so instead of making a dedicated thread I thought it’d be more appropriate to maintain its place. Personally, I think the toy overall is pretty fun. Has a lot of goofy, 90’s character in the face, and the textures present a Nolan Joker look to its grimace. I did state that the Rat Fink version is the only one I’d like to come into, and lo and behold by way of a good homie. And being the ultimate hero for Obake Dogs, the size and feel is similar, as is my championing of lil’ clothing on certain toys. Tear it apart!

Spoiler

 

"Ronald Reagan in cosplay"... Kill me.

 

Kaiju Tan has incredible painting skills, I’ll give him that much. The sculpts though, they’re honestly revolting. Mickey Mouse manboobs are not something I needed to see in my lifetime.

 

It just gets worse.
