“Dorvack” has found Rastacarian on the shelf – presumably from the TRU Cube? The Cube has MTT singles, MTT Deluxe, lenticular singles and the elusive megasize singles … And Rastacarian body is ALL METAL … his hair is a cool soft plastic – “rubber-like.” So happy hunting! Thanks “Dorvack.”

Some cool renderings from the official “Style Guide.” I Screamer Lightning McMean Rastacarian I guess to need to re-watch this to get his name-0 … TIZMANIAN:  I think it is just ‘Monster’ but it is hard to hear the name over the crowd cheering.  So technically, it is ‘Dr. Frankenwagon’s Monster’ since the little guy […]

The Mater Toon Wrestling Playset is out in Germany … Thanks for the nice pics “Dolly” … it’s priced sort of like eBay – 60€ = @$73 or just slightly more than the US retail price of $34.00. (Amazon has a pre-order price of $29.99). Looks like it’s fun … On the right, it looks […]
