Hey guys! It's my turn for a council contest!

My daughter and wife gave me the idea for this contest.

Post a picture of your ugliest toy.

 

A few rules:

 

- The toy must naturally be ugly, no mutilations please!

- You must have been a member for at least ten days, with at least ten posts
- Multiple entries will be permitted. Though for the sake of my daughter's patience, I will limit each person to 2 entries.

 

Winner shall be chosen by my daughter. She is unbiased and will have no problem calling an ugly toy what it is.

This contest will have a slight overlap with May's, due to my being late. This contest will run from now until May 5. I will do the drawing on May 6.

Little stretched for time at the moment, so a picture of your prize will have to wait. I will try and get one up by tomorrow. I also plan on stopping at my comic shop before the contest is over to add some random goodness to the package, so the picture will not contain everything you will win.

Should it be a manufactured toy that is ugly, or a wrecked toy from years of play making it ugly?

Or does it matter?

Hmm...toys that were born ugly, or toys that became ugly with the ravages of time? (Ag...I forgot to hit the post button, so Sixthwizard beat me to it!) I don't own any ugly toys (at least I don't think I do), so I'll likely bow out of this one. If my nephew didn't live in Japan, I'd ask him for his input.

Current collecting goal: obtain all 148 Monster In My Pocket Series 1 figures in regular colors (71.62% there)

 

So many toys, so little money!

I think it would be most fair if we only dealt in naturally ugly toys, as opposed to playing mishaps. Besides, I always love seeing naturally ugly toys.

Don't bow out! You have to have something that is ugly. Don't be ashamed! I'll snap a couple of pictures of my stuff.

Just to also make the rules even more clear: It can be any toy. I am not restricting this contest to LRGs only. So if you have ugly action figures, they are welcome.

Ooh, another great contest idea. I think more of my toys are ugly than not, so this will be fun, haha.

There are a shitload of ugly die-cast out there these days...would buying one solely for the purpose of entering this contest be cheating?

I eliminated the man-made ugliness because that could be cheating. I don't think buying a toy for the purpose of winning is cheating, though I wouldn't want you to buy something and not win. Your call, I guess.

I think they're gorgeous, but let's see what your daughter things of them ;)
PS: I've tried repeatedly to upload these right side up, but for whatever reason, they keep showing up sideways.

No, not Draz's daughter.

Just admitting defeat in the face of that awesomely hideous toy of yours.

I'm feeling pretty confident in the "ugliness" of my toys ;)

Yeah, those are pretty sweet, man.

I forgot that you posted that two-headed troll a while back. I asked my mom where she got hers, and she said that it was a booth prize that she won at the 1968 Texas state fair.
Hers has green hair, but is identical to yours otherwise, even the eye colors.

They're so weird! I mean, even by today's standards, it takes a specific kind of creativity to think up something like that. But in the 60's? Unheard of!
PS: The "WTF" factor on the second one you posted  :blink:

Still, it's awesome, and I would love to have something like that in my collection. Heh, between the two of us, we've got a super twisted version of "The Island of Misfit Toys" :D

I will be looking for my ugliest.

 

In the meantime, I do not own this one, but I think if anyone did, they would win.

Sweet Jesus, that thing is insane. Thanks for the nightmares. :p

 

I am on the fence about whether I want to post toys that were designed to be ugly (for example, Madballs or that monstrosity above), or toys that are mostly ugly in their crappiness/weirdness.

Just nabbed a bunch of stuff from the shop for you guys!

I think you're going to love it!

 

 

Edit:

And here they are! An ugly contest wouldn't be complete without a few ugly prizes, amirite? I've got more stuff in my personal stash, but I wanted to give a wealth of stuff away. So there will most definitely be more than this.
