I got back from Tokyo a few weeks agoWhile I was there I went to Mandarake, the big multi-story comics'n'porn'cartoons'toys place. In one little store, they were selling these plastic 100-yen (about a dollar) bags of toys. Kind of like a 50-cent mixture of lollies, but they were random toys.
Intrepidly I purchased four of these grab-bags of unknown used toys.
Today I finally got around to opening them. Come with me, as we explore the horror.
Here I am throwing up the horns for size-reference:
These are the first toys I encountered. Innocent and rather dull. There's a megaman character in there, Donald Duck, Godzilla, Hello Kitty. The usual suspects.
The first signs of a larger conspiracy. These six chaps were spread out among the four bags. They have slightly different faces, and all have a hook for a right hand.
When I discovered these next items, my mind truly buckled. You have to understand, these toys were for kids. This was not an adult store. And yet here was Big Dick and the Penis Gang, right before me.
I have no words.
Notice the dirt on most of the toys. I suspect they were fished from a rubbish dump. Perhaps buried because of a curse and/or hex?
Identical fish. Hollow. Lots of 'em.
And finally the centerpiece. The macabre army of undead dolls.
I particularly like these crawlers.
Queen Pinky.
I can see you...
As anyone would be in that situation, I was compelled to arrange the dolls into semi-religious imagery.
The full mythos.
I wish I had brought more now. 100 yen per bag! Awesome.
Anyway, I have no idea what do with all/some of these things, so if you any suggestions please share them.

It looks like a huge hoard of the weird shit you get free with drinksat 7eleven. The stuff that isn't painted, is a collectible to waiting to be painted.

Frontpage it!NOW!!
Edit -- suggestion for use:
If you have a car, superglue them to the dashboard so they're visible both to you and to anyone who walks past your car. (I have actually seen cars like this).

I'll tell you what...Post me one or two of the standing kewpie dolls and maybe an orange headed smiling freak and I'll take them on a tour of Wellington, New Zealand and post the pics on b3ta.
I'll even pay postage if you're keen.
mod edit - as it's later in the day and you've gone to bed, I removed your email - you'll get spammed otherwise.

Haha!I like the random foreign toys. Truly bizzare!
Those penises (penii?) look angry for some reason. And as for the doll with the blue head...

Nice find.You could make some kind of stop-motion epic where multicoloured penises have to fight off herds of undead babies, their only weapons being round sumo wrestlers that can be dropped from the sky like the Concrete Donkey in Worms. Oh, and they could ride fish.

What?ANOTHER one? Haven't we seen enough stop-motion epics where multicoloured fish-riding penises have to fight off herds of undead babies, their only weapons being round sumo wrestlers that can be dropped from the sky like the Concrete Donkey in Worms.
I ask you... there's no originality any more! ;)
*In fact, likes the idea of the movie, but is jellus he'd not thought of it first*
