Every now and then a toy comes around that is just ugly as hell. KR shit excluded, what is the sculpt that made you think... What the fuck is that?

First one that comes to mind for myself

This thing

... and all its variations

I still don't get it

gary busey approves this message

unless you own a porn store I've never understood this one:

No! Not the Charactics Zandora!

I think they're pretty cool, IMO.

don't get me wrong, Ricky is an incredible sculptor AND painter. But when I saw this for the first time my gut reaction was definitely like, holy shit this is fugs. which for some people is a great thing.

Citizen Busey strikes again!

the zandora has more appeal in those different color ways, but still doesn't save it for me. Is it a Drill with eyes?


these have always creeped me out, not in a good way.


one mans fugly is another mans masterpiece

Basically, yeah. It's from Zone Fighter. Bullmark spin-off company, Orange, made a vinyl figure of it in the late 70s. Charactics based this figure on the original standard size toy.

thanks for the info. Came across this clip where godzilla rips off Zandollas tail and beats him with it!

Great fight…. he's still ugly but i'm warming up to him.

that is so pimp

Yes! The versions with hair are particularly horrendous.

the raw power and the firestarter are my favs!!! those two toys are grails for me

I love it, I have one, but damn it's ugly

I've actually always liked the Charactics Zandora for some reason, with the Devastator one being the best. I just bought the one in that photo.

I like XXX-La too because it's so absurd.

Nags are meh. I like some versions, but they are few and far between. Hair and clothes don't belong on sofubi.

This:


Not because of the sculpt, because it's one of my favorites ever. Not because of the colors, because the palette is great. But the paint application just totally kills it for me... Yet I still own one.

And BLObPUS Gori Gori and Ichibanboshi Monkey Man. I think I just don't like most monkey sculpts.

this. i dont like monkeys at all, dont understand the allure of monkey vinyl toys.

galtans paint apps are sloppy, but i think thats why i like them!

This thing...I like the sculpt but barf a little bit in mouth every time I look at it.

holy shit! that's vulgar

I know I'm going to start a fight, but Skull Bee. Sorry dudes. I appreciate it's history and roll, I respect the skill behind it's sculpt and all. I just think it's ugly. It (don't know why) reminds me of Nu Metal. Plus I don't care about Judo.

In the end it's a tough topic. I mean I like ugly toys (Nag, Bemon, Chaos) and actually respect and appreciate most of the sculptors/creators and their work even if I'm not a fan of the toy. But that's mine. Skull Bee. Especially those split ones. Go ahead, bash me now

But hey, at least it has self awareness.

Paging Mark, Toby and Andy!!!

Ok, ama gonna just close this thread with this:

double you tee fuck.

a sarumon covered in semen and cereal?
