A Tale of Three Trash Fires

Welcome to America, where the state of being on an average day can be expressed succinctly in a cartoon of a happy little dumpster with flames erupting from its "head". This is how we cope. We take our struggles and make our pain adorable. This image resonates with so many humans, it's been recast and painted over hundreds of times to date. Today, we'll look at three of these memes made real through the medium of vinyl art toys, courtesy of Tenacious Toys. 

Step One: Make it cool...

Artist Truck Torrance presents us with 3.5 inches of flaming badassery that's still soft around the edges, making it "squishy" enough to become a favorite of a teen girl who will drop everything to mime the hand motions for "Hot To Go", with or without the music accompaniment. 

Step Two: Merge your Memes...

Truck Torrance melds two modern descriptions of the gleefully decaying human form and its manic, screaming-into-the-rafters mindset. While one can not be happily wallowing in trash that is on fire, the melding of these chaotic personas is easily celebrated when the pandas are chonky and the fire is shiny. It really doesn't take much. 

Step Three: THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!!

What was missing before? LICENSING!!! Marvel Comic's mega-popular, trash-talking, army-murdering mercenary would be the one character who CAN roll around in trash that's on fire, and so, this is a creature in his natural habitat. Making him appear softer and squishier was just icing on the proverbial psycho-cake.
