It’s Milk and Cheese, Dairy Products Gone Bad, in rotocast and injection-molded plastic vinyl!

The Carton of Hate stands at 8" tall, while the Wedge of Spite is no-less intimidating at 6" tall. Featuring articulation at the arms, wrists, legs and feet, they also come equipped with three interchangeable Mayhem Accessories: the cranium-cracking ‘Hammer Time’ Hammer, the ever-trusty Stick-With-A-Nail-In-It, and the classic Broken Gin Bottle.

All this greatness comes packaged as a complete set in a four-color windowless cartoon-festooned box designed by Dorkin and Dyer.

The Origin of Booska

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I previously featured the designer toy Booska. The toy version is actually based on popular Japanese children’s show back in the 1960s.

Booska is the name of a cute, friendly human-sized kaiju (monster) that looks like a cross between a bucktoothed teddy bear and a giraffe. It was originally an iguana until its owner fed it experimental food, a similar concept to the cartoon Ned’s Newt.

Created by Eiji Tsuburaya, Booska made his debut in the popular 1966 children’s TV series, Monster Booska, produced by Tsuburaya Productions (which had just created Ultraman months earlier).
