The Iron Monster "Glow in the Dark" Version from Miscreation Toys

    One of the best things about collecting anything is figuring out how you're going to display it.  I love the look of old display cases packed to the gills with so much stuff that every time you look at them you notice something different.  The problem I have with most vinyl is that there seems to be some unwritten rule that everything will be one of two sizes and that's it.  I need giant toys to stand in the back and look menacing while not getting lost amid the cluttered masses in front of them.  Welcome to the solution of my dreams.  

    Ok, there's plenty more to love about this Iron Monster from Miscreation Toys than just his whopping 15 inch height.  For one, I love classic film monsters, and this dude is based on The Phantom Creeps from 1939.  And he reminds me a lot of the guy that comes out and stalks Rob Zombie around on stage.  He also glows in the dark and comes with an 11x17 print by Worthy Enemies, who also did the header card art.  This dude is available in limited quantities right now from http://autopsybabies.bigcartel.com/.

Autopsy Zombie Staple Baby Custom Show at Toy Art Gallery

    There are many moments I can look back on and pinpoint as those in which I knew I would marry my wife Sharon.  Like the fact that one of our first dates was spent gawking at the medical specimens that fill the Mutter Museum.  We fell in love amongst the wax models of syphilis and the eerie, cheshire grins of fetal skeletons.  But one thing I've never been a big fan of are the wet specimens; those floppy bits of tissue suspended in preserving solution.  I just imagine them breaking open and the only recourse being to burn everything that the gross liquid touches.  This goes double for the weird babies in jars, who sometimes bother me and other times I can look at with interest.  It really just depends on the mood I'm in when we happen to be at the museum.  

    I feel much the same about these Autopsy Babies from Miscreation Toys.  Some days they look interesting, others I just want to yell "KILL IT WITH FIRE".  Bizarre wouldn't even begin to describe them.  But if you're looking for a good time and the idea of plastic corpses tickles your fancy then may I suggest a trip to Toy Art Gallery this Saturday (March 8th) for their custom show featuring these little rotten tots.  The opening reception is from 7-10pm.
