Freaky Geeks!

You find the weirdest stuff on eBay. Case in point: I present to you asmall collection of hideous denizens of the miniature toy world, a little gang of vending machine miscreants known as Freaky Geeks!

One of the benefits of eBay is finding whole collections of vending machine toys without having to hunt them down in the foyer of some shopping outlet and then plunk quarter after quarter into the machines before you get a complete set.

I don't know squat about these critters other than they were cheap and freaky. much like many of my ex-girlfriends.

 Ladies and germs, meet: Cy-fi...

Go-Go...

Herbert...

Knuckles...

Ollie...

Skizzo...

Spike...

...and Stinky!

I was planning on writing a big, long diatribe on the gross-out lovableness of such toys, harkening back to the Rat Fink days of weirdo monsters often driving hot-rods or balancing on surf boards, but I think these nut-balls speak for themselves. 'Nuff said!

EMERGENCY AWESOMENESS POST!

I found this awesome Mummy figure at the swap meet for $4 and that is nothing but AWESOMENESS TIMES A GAZILLION!

That is all...

"The Dixie Chargers" from Midgetoy. One of the more blatant Dukes of Hazzard knock-offs from the early '80s. The "General Lee" car has the number 89 on the side, you know, so folks didn't get confused.
