Friday, June 19th, 2009Just because you have the rights to a license… doesn’t mean you should use it.
And the producers of the next, inevitable Punisher movie are welcome to that advice. But today, let’s address Disney and its grotesque cross-licensed toy-producing efforts.

The fine toy-crafters behind the Mickey Mouse Tron “Doll” were originally going to [...]
The Dragonball Evolution Movie Is Still the Worst that Dragonball Has to Offer
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Tonight I committed myself to finding something inspired by the Dragonball manga even more ridiculous than the Dragonball Evolution movie.
Obviously, I failed. Even though I managed to turn up a My Little Pony fashioned into a custom-made “Baby Goku Pony.”

Sunday, March 8th, 2009Well… to be more specific: custom toys featuring Homer Simpson as two Marvel superheroes and one supervillain.
Toycutter found this seller on Ebay who created Homer Hulk, Homer Thing, and Homer Doc Ock.
Made in Mexico, with “free shipping from Texas,” these scream “toy smuggling ring.” But who am I to complain about a little bit of [...]
Punisher Hulk Custom Action Figure
Monday, February 16th, 2009This is what happens when you gamma-irradiate a scowling, Sicilian meathead. All-around handsomeness.
The Hulk doesn’t need firearms any more than Christian Bale needs a bad case of ‘roid rage, but nevertheless, the minds and hands at custom-toymaker Boskoes Toys have posted on Ebay this one-of-a-kind Punisher Hulk action figure based on the Marvel Legends line [...]
