Offshoot Toys Presents THREE Monster Toy Grails in B.U.B.

Offshoot Toys BUB 1
The 80's gave us so much to remember fondly, and then, later in life, we spend our leisure time hunting like crazy people for collectibles that will reignite that spark that comes with a cherished memory, and thus, dopamine is born. If you're a toy collector, this hunt becomes non-stop and borderline obsessive while most of us look completely sane on the outside! For monster toy collectors (aka Spooky Kids), there's one line that gave us not one, but THREE grails to chase... sometimes for our entire lives! I personally have had all three and lost them. I can still see their little terrifying faces. The line was called INHUMANOIDS, and at the top of this plastic food chain were three colossal monsters, one harder to track down than the next, and all three rising in price with every year that passes. If only there were some company that would pay tribute to these monstrosities with the flair of an accomplished artist and the heart of a disturbed child going crazy with crayons on a living room wall...

The Best Monster Toys RIGHT NOW Are Coming From Stranger Things!

Jazwares Stranger Things Tales from 85 Micro Monster Playset Mulligan Creature w Dustin 02
Believe it....or not. Jazwares designers haven't been shying away from teeth, claws, and slobbery tongues, even though the current incarnation of STRANGER THINGS may be animated, suggesting a younger audience. NO! A near-starved collector community cried out for new monster toys, and Jazwares happily answered. The first series of Stranger Things: Tales from 85 included Gourd Horde figures, which were basically snarling pumpkins sitting atop viney limbs, making them the perfect army builder for your Real Ghostbusters, as well as a terror for the kids of Hawkins. The true standout of the line was the Vine Dog, which you just have to see to appreciate. It looks more like a monster from Hellraiser! Now we get into series 2, and the teeth keep a'commin...
