{ FUNKO - Spastik Plastik }

FUNKO's Spastik Plastik line has been a bastion of fun and wacky character design since it's inception, and this latest series is no exception. These little guys have so much personality they don't need no stinkin' articulation, and you don't have to feel guilty about not playing with them because, well, you can't. They're simply meant to sit there and look great, and that's exactly what they do. Standing roughly 9" tall, these beauties come packaged in a clear plastic display tube with original artwork backgrounds/inserts. They just ooze animated charm and it's easy to imagine each of them as the star of their own sleazy, cheesy or just slightly deranged cartoon. Their designs riff off everything from hot-rod and lounge culture to old-school animation and the just plain weird. (fer instance, one of my faves- Pulpo the Pirate Squid.) And at under 10 bucks a piece, they're ready to start popping up all over your toy shelf.

These look really cool.

I dig "Gill" and "Pulpo", too.

I just went apeshit and decorated my entire kitchen with Spastik Plastik.
The wife decided she liked the way they looked sitting atop our cabinets, so I took a little Pay Pal dough I had stashed and bought a whole bunch of these bad boys.

I'm getting kinda addicted, and they just released a second series of Monkey vs. Robot figures. I'm teetering on the edge of fiscal sanity and thinking about trying to own them all....
