The Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys: Masters of The Universe Grizzlor

Ever see an old hairbrush? One so full of hair and clogged that even if you wanted to touch it, no way would it comb your hair. It is just a disgusting hairy thing.

Now imagine that as an action figure. I present: GRIZZLOR!

And now I re-present: GRIZZLOR!

He’s having a really bad hair day.

Hmm, big and hairy, brown, carrying a bowcaster and wearing something strapped across his chest… can you say “Chewbacca ripoff?”

Anyway, this guy was a Masters of the Universe character and as bad as that figure is, I guess the cartoon really gave the sculptors nothing much to work with.

Looks constipated, doesn’t he? He must really be letting out a stink- look at the woman behind him, she can’t even breath!

So this hairy thing is based on a kid’s cartoon yet it says, right on the front of his package, with no trace of irony or snark, “Adult collection.”

Anyway, I can’t really complain. I thought it was hysterical when Grizzlor and DotComLor guest starred on 30 Rock:

Imponderable #70: Wales

Here in the US we are celebrating Thanksgiving by waiting on line to buy tv sets at 10% off. Isn’t that great? Makes you wonder why we bothered to split from England. (Stamp Act shcmap act. With email that would be moot by now anyway.) But it turns out that the US and England still have a  lot in common, including a love of sophomoric phone pranks involving guy’s junk.

The Imponderable is not going to by why a guy would do that- if you are a guy you already have it ingrained in your DNA to do that. The Imponderable is simply where does that guy find time to make all those calls?

The question is Imponderable… and also an excuse to post a Thanksgiving dinner-full of Jerky Boys phone pranks. Listen up, liver lips.
