C.I.Boys

I was trying to post this last night, but Flickr and WordPress weren’t getting along. Given Sarah’s post, I thought it appropriate to try again.

They’re kind of hard to explain – their name is a reference to their grimace, which is supposed to be one of going to the bathroom. Let me put it this way – there was one series that was modeled after Capcom’s Street Fighter characters and was name "Shit Fighter." So… y’know.

Anyhow, as is popular with Japanese/Hong Kong vinyl figures, artists and designers are invited to create their own series, and this series is all 80s inspired, including Tattoo from Fantasy Island, Flavor Flav, Tron, and The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Well, in three boxes (at $9 a pop I might add), I got my Stay-puft. Why three boxes? Well, also popular with these toys is to package them in blind boxes – you have no idea what’s inside. So, to get one in three is pretty good. And the Tron you see, is one of the rare chase figures, so I made out AOK.
