I just made a post about this on our http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/2009/05/27/things-i-own-luis-ricardo-el-monstruo-de-sancheztein/, but I thought I would share it here as well. This is one of my favorite toys that I own. Its not made in Japan, but I think its super weird random and fun! I barely have info on it except from what I posted on the Bloglin.
Hahaha. I cracked up when I saw this on the Mishka blog. Just the expression on his face made me laugh.
The dude with the beard and lab coat reminds of Cleveland's old late night horror host "The Ghoul" http://www.theghoul.com/index2.html
Wow...I thought that was a pretty obscure reference. We must have a few old school Clevelanders on the board. BTW, I was always more of a Superhost fan myself. Why? Because he was the one that showed the Godzilla flicks... -- jJ
Was a fan of both Big Chuck and Little John as well as Superhost. Cleveland needs local shows like these on air again. A taste of the show for anyone interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR4nXinhPTk
