Sold Separately

Filed under: — Joe @ 7:22 pm

Back in 1991, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew came up with Johnny Longtorso, “the man who comes in pieces“, an action figure that was sold one limb at a time. Well, it’s taken almost a decade, but someone has actually brought the idea to market. Disappointingly, the Stikfas pieces are rather nondescript; no Super Sideburn Add-Ons here, alas. Now Radio Shack is bringing this idea to the perfect market with their new line of everything-sold-separately remote-controlled cars. Me? I’ll stick with the ultimate in customizable toys, old-skool Legos.

    Hello,
    I have seen something similar to the Stikfas they are called Shockinis made by Shocker Toys and we are having a contest on our site using them at http://www.customdungeon.com
    They have a block figure that is customizable but its pre assembled we picked it up at a store listed on their site http://www.shockertoys.com
    The two of these figures are pretty cool the Stikfas and the Shockinis.
