Is the pic of The Terminator a photo of a broken one? Cause the 3rd head should be where that little nipple looking thing is on his left shoulder...
5.) Manga Violator.
 |
Not to be confused with the far-more-awesome Manga Cyber Violator, this earlier and completely terrible Manga Violator is a mix of demon, bone, 1950s car chassis and what appears to be a miniature catapult that flings snot. Its meager justification for existence was utterly negated by the arrival of its aforementioned successor.
4.) Gore.
Um...
Nice parrot.
3.) Top Gun.
Look, it's one of those CGI monsters from the TV-movie of Stephen King's The Langoliers, but with tons of extra robotic shit, giant chicken legs, and an engorged cyber-penis! [Plus his companion figure Bottom Line (sold separately) attached to him by sticking its neck up his behind - LYT]
2.) Manga Clown.
Everything's better when it's manga, right kids?
Manga Clown is a crawling chaos that looks like the result of an unholy three-way between Mojo, Shelob, and that disgusting farting vampire from Blade. Enjoy that mental image, folks.
1.) Iron Express.
That's right. It is a FUCKING ROBOT OSTRICH.

Oh man...I have Manga Violator and Top Gun somewhere collecting dust. I don't feel too bad about Violator but Top Gun was an impulse purchase that I later came to regret. It really sucks.
glad i am not the only one who always thought magna clown was the evil product of a three way between mojo . shelob and the blade farting vampire thing. for this list seems to show todd has a love of not only trying to combine animals with robots but also use as many figures as he can in a mish mash.
Where's someguy's post about how these are only the weirdest in Poe Ghostal's opinion? I need my shot.

@LYT I was busy yesterday, but I agree with you Luke, Poe Ghostal's list should have said My Picks. I'm glad to see you are learning.
Iron Express was extra weird because everything else from that line was an animal with robotic enhancements, whereas he/she was just a straight-up robot animal. And I would have LOVED to see a real biological ostrich under there. We'd have to invent a new top ranking because number one wouldn't cut it.
@lynchb85 Man, I'd forgotten about that line. I have Iron Express and Grey Thunder, the rhino. ...now I want to find them.

Fuck Todd McFarlane. He and Liefeld almost completely destroyed comic books in the 90s. He's a narcissistic ass whose artwork only looks good when compared to Liefeld's poor scribbling. He's a subpar writer who ignores character history to push his self-aggrandizing stories. He's a complete dick in real life. Anyone who buys his toys is supporting one of the worst things to happen to nerd & comic book culture since Seduction of the Innocent and Mazes & Monsters.
@nix.nightbird Through the eyes of an educated adult, yeah, McFarlane's comics were dross. Through the eyes of a 15 year old, they were fucking awesome.
@nix.nightbird Are you kidding me? Seduction of the Innocent is a hilarious comedy. Fucking roll on the floor shit right there.

If you put Todd McFarlane's sweat into a bottle, dilute it with moonshine (because drinking it straight would be suicide unless you're Danny DeVito), and eat the TMNT section of a 1988 Sears catalog, this list will look like Fisher Price by comparison.

Nearly every toy on this list would more or less fit in with Playmate's classic TMNT line, you know, where they had mutants that were halfway unmutated (ie one hoof foot and one human foot).
@Kozmik_PariahI was going to comment on Poachers uncanny resemblance to TMNT's Dr. El

@Regular_Stormy@Kozmik_PariahMy theory is that this list is original TMP creations, rather than his spins on other peoples' work.

@arivalscientist Actually like those, also loved the first series of Clive Barker's Tortured Souls.
@Lithroe @arivalscientist I'm surprised nothing from the christmas line featured. Sure, Mrs. Claus in that line was hot, but that on it's own is fucking weird.

McFarlane was the reason I got into collecting figures. Still have so many of these in storage. Yes, they are weird, but also so very cool.

Totally agree with this list. With as many awesome McFarlane Toys that have been produced over the years, there were as many strange ones. Have we had a Top 10 Awesome McFarlane toys list yet?
