The Island Of Misfit Toys

I have been saving a few figures here and there over the years that most people would consider trash   I like to see either extreme amounts of play wear  or some other type of malicious "boyhood damage" - set on fire , burned/melted , severed limbs kid customs etc ....

Basically anything that you might say were Survivors , but just barely


I was browsing on Ebay and came across a couple card backs and figures that certainly meet the criteria


The seller said these were fresh "Barn Discoveries" :

The figures themselves actually don't appear to have been played with - C-3PO has tight limbs but it looks like parts of his finish may have experienced some slight damage due to moisture and sticking to the package itself .

The Jawa appeared unplayed with as well but , when I started to take the robe off , the hood practically tore all the way off . The thread on the seams is so dry rotted that it pulls apart easier then cotton candy


What's even cooler is this :

I'm not sure if it is a factory error - basically just a speck of his brown bandolier paint ended up in just the right spot to look like a pupil or if it is a spot of package debris that just ended up there by coincidence

Either way I like it and it reminds me of a certain horror character that you all know I identify with


I have more Misfit Toys that I'll add as time goes by but I am really hoping some of you guys have some abused toys to share with us too

Glad your enjoying the thread guys

I really look forward to seeing pics of everyone's Misfit Toys


Here are a few of mine to start off the loose figures ...

It looks like some kid tried to set him on fire

Chew-bie Wan Kenobi

This guy looks like it was a dog's chew toy

What kills me about it is that whoever owned it never threw it away

You would think 99 % of people would have considered it trash by this point , instead it ended up in a lot I picked up at some point on ebay and I now consider it part of my very own "crap collection"

Dig em. I have a kid altered collection myself. Here are few of mine that you may enjoy ourchickenshack.

I'm guessing this one is a small factory error ? It looks like the blue was applied a little to heavy or there was a slight amount of overspray

His eyes look weird to me anyway - just seems like there's more blue then usual and barely any white can be seen around the edges

What do you guys think ???

Here's a couple well loved figures
