Weekend Discussion Thread: Action Figures

Alert reader Matthew writes:

Now that Crow and Tom Servo figures have been created, what action figures from the MSTed movies would you like to have or create? I’m talking primarily about characters from the movies themselves (i.e. Trumpy, Mr. B, Zap Rowsdower), and maybe for a separate list characters BBI came up with themselves (Auntie McFrank, Timmy, Toaster Pastry Servo).

I myself would probably start with the “Lame Action-Heroes 3-pack”, Puma Man, Zap Rowsdower, and The Paper Chase Guy.

I think this maybe the only ACTUAL action figure from a MSTed movie…

How about Dave “Big McHugelarge” Ryder from “Space Mutiny?”

What figures would YOU like to see?

    This has been mentioned, but I would proudly display a Krankor figure right here on my computer desk. And I would deliver the backstory if anyone asked about it.

    You know those figures attached to a base that when you push the base in, they collapse? I’d like a Torgo one of those please.

    Would also be nice to have a Mike set. Could include Capt. Janeway Mike, “bad” Mike from Timechasers, and puppet Mike from Prince of Space.

    150+ posts and no one has asked for a Jack Elam as Jesse from The Girl In Lover’s Lane?

    He’d come with a box of groceries and you could squeeze his legs together to make his eyes go all lazy. Also included would be your own pair of kid sized “Jack Elam Eyes” for role-playing fun.

    They could even have the whole diner playset that includes the exclusive (and elusive) “Big Stupid” figure.

    This is a great topic, I actually just ordered an 12-inch G.I. Joe and blue jumpsuit to have a Mike figure somewhat in scale with my Crow and Tom Servo figs.

    Maybe he could omit a stinky odor, like that old He-Man figure, Stinkor.

    I have a really awesome Mole People action figure that I don’t think anybody mentioned. They also made a bobble-head of him. I also had a giant scorpion model kit that was very reminiscent of Black Scorpion.

    Why stop at figures, though. I would totally buy an entire Rowsdower action playset. Didn’t MST3K do a bunch of skits with unappealing toys based on the movies? Like Tickle-Me Carlo Lombardi. That was funny but very close to something marketable. How about a Peter Graves Teddy Ruxpin that delivers monologues and exposition to children. All the best MST3K movies needed their own video games too. The Deadly Bees would make an amazing role playing game.

    A set of nonaction figures from Radar Secret Service. Two guys watching the radar action on TV, the villans holed up in the apartment with Sid Melton, interchangeable blond women, one keeps asking “What about Blackie” and the two agents driving around in the goitermobile.

    Also a Racket Girls set, nonstop women wrestling ring, Peaches with action chest, scary grandma in two piece gym outfit, Little Joe and Scalli (pencil thin moustache included) and Mr. Big, but has no face, only a back of the head.

    If you thought Johny Longtorso was evil. Here’s a scale figure of the Monster from Monster-A-Go-Go. It’s an empty box with a piece of paper that reads, “There was no monster…”

    How about individually named and sold ants from Phase 4. Likewise bees and grasshoppers from The Deadly Bees and Beginning of the End

  31. The Bolem says:

    That’s indeed evil Cornjob, but the scary part is that’s how the first Star Wars figures were sold. No, seriously.

    Which reminds me, any SW action figures and vehicles could technically be the start of a Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders! Just find one of those cymbal monkeys (If that Gumby comic cover I posted a link to is any indication, they’re probably ALL servants of Hell), and all we’d need is an actual Rock’n’Roll Martian: probably Droppo with some accessories stolen from “Kiss: Psycho Circus” figures.

    There’s an idea I don’t think was touched on: actual toys that appeared in MSTed movies, starting with all the ones the 2 Santas produced! I’d be reluctant to include Torg the robot, but Mexican Santa’s sleigh was also technically identified as a giant wind-up toy, making it the only one creepier than the wind-up monkey.

    The must-have, however, comes from Secret Agent Super Dragon: If I had Babyface’s remote controlled dragon that actually breathes fire like a blowtorch, I could:

    a.) Relive those halcyon days a generation before my birth that Joel’s description made me nostalgic for nonetheless, when no one apparently cared if toys could easily maim children, even under supervision.
    Wait, what the hell am I saying? I was born right after toys first actually got good, and grew up surrounded by the most diverse range of robots and articulated figures who could use unique vehicles we’ll ever see in a single toy store! So I’d mostly use my Super Dragon to:

    b.) Seek out and immolate the morons who instituted the “drop-test” safety standard for American toys, to show them what an actual dangerous toy can do, so that maybe Transfans could a reissue of 2 foot tall Fortress Maximus east of the Pacific. Seriously, you can’t sell a toy in this country if it could break apart due to being deliberately thrown from the equivalent of a second story balcony. Unless you go on to outlaw all hard plastic toys because a child could conceivably whittle them into shivs, that rule ain’t preventin’ any serious injuries, folks.

    Any other experiments have actual toys featured prominently in them? I’m probably forgetting a lot.

    And #171: I have the colorized version of that Moleman (#109), including the most plastic ‘shroom accessories of any toy! If only he’d included some Bat-girls instead…

    I’d like some character action figures/dolls/toys, actually, and I am wondering why they were never made. Here would be my list:

    SET #1:
    * Joel Robinson (red/burgandy jumpsuit)
    * Dr. Forrester
    * Dr. Erdhart
    * Crow
    * Tom Servo
    * Gypsy

    SET #2:
    * TV’s Frank
    * Mike Nelson (green jumpsuit)
    * Pearl Forrester (first costume)
    * Mitchell!
    * Mike as Capt. Janeway
    * TOrgO

    SET #3:
    * Pearl (second costume)
    * Prof. Bobo
    * Observer
    * Nanites
    * Krankor (comes with weapons that are useless against him)
    * Big McHugelarge

    SET #4:
    * KTMA Joel
    * KTMA Servo
    * KTMA Crow
    * KTMA Gypsy
    * KTMA Cambot
    * KTMA Dr. F (Larry didn’t really change much XP)

    ACCESSORIES:
    * SOL Bridge Model (CC 2-7)
    * SOL Bridge Model (CC 1)
    * SOL Bridge Model (S-FC)
    * SOL Bridge Model (KTMA)
    * Deep 13
    * Deep Ape
    * The Widowmaker
    * Castle Forrester
    * SOL Storm Shelter (MST3K: The Movie)

    Personally, I’d make them about the size of other sci-fi action figures. Oh, the crossovers I would make photo-comics of…
    *imagines MST3K plus Doctor Who*

    Beat me to it — even the oily idea! I would add an action powerfist doll of the Rick Astley guy that socked him in the film.

    What would I like to see… Well from the show, I would like to see a Mike Nelson, Joel figure. Then Dr Forrester, Pearl Forrester, TVs Frank, Bo Bo, Brain Guy.

    Then from the movies, it would be funny to see Joe Estavez from Soul Taker, Joe Don Baker from Final Justice, Rowsdower, the monster from Track of the Moon Beast, Merlin and his possessed monkey toy from Merlins shop of Mystical Wonders, Nick from Time Chasers, and that Coil guy that made people aware of how important Springs are.

    That’ll be funny to see.

    Maybe a few runner-ups would be a Bobby-and-Grandpa (The Creeping Terror) 2-pack, some of the Eye Creatures, The Creeping Terror himself, and The Crawling Hand. Plus, Cousin Billy at the Rock Shop, Old Man Crenshaw, and a big Creature and little Creature 2-pack from “Boggy Creek III–er, II. And, Santa and Pitch, and Douglas with his Spce Capsule.

    . A Wham-O Air Blaster for Torg

    I always thought a rock ’em sock ’em robot version with Santa and Pitch would be great. Voice-chip activation when one or the other gets their “block” knocked off would be Santa: “help me Merlin!” and Pitch: “curses rer rer rer rer rer rer curses…”.
