Comment on Bulette (‘Patchisaurs’) by faelrin

Oh wow, glad to see this weird little critter a review. Had no idea it was the inspiration behind the DnD Bulette monster either. That was fun to learn about.

Most monster toys are, naturally, inspired by or represent creatures from established fiction or folklore. But every now and again that relationship gets turned on its head. Take the bulette, for example, one of the rare cases where a random toy has inspired a fictional creature. The birth of ‘Patchisaurs’ If you grew up in the 1970s and 80s you almost certainly encountered the ubiquitous range of simple plastic monster toys now known informally as patchisaurs.

Today it’s my great pleasure to feature the blog’s first review of Mothra: Queen of the Monsters! Making her onscreen debut in the 1961 film Mothra, Mothra has appeared in more Toho films than any other kaiju except Godzilla, a frequent ally of Mothra.

[…] an enraged howl. Quite the stark contrast to the humble walking pose of his North American cousin, the Sasquatch. I’m guessing that he’s intended to appear menacing, but to my eye, he looks like a heel […]

First and foremost, thanks to Happy Hen Toys for this review sample.:) The yeti (Abomanixhomo messneri) is a very large and elusive ape that dwells in the Himalayan mountain range. Adults are usually around 7-8 feet tall and 500 lbs in weight, but there are unconfirmed reports of 15 foot tall specimens that are capable of killing full grown yaks simply by seizing them by the horns and tearing their heads off.

Godzilla (Model Kit on Card, ReAction Figures by Super7)

One day, while feeling defeated in my search for new Mattel dinosaurs at Target, I decided to peruse the adult collectables section. Being a dinosaur and animal collector first and foremost, I rarely leave this section with anything but also being a sci-fi and horror nerd, I still like to see what they’ve got.

While I’ve never read any of the Lord of the Rings novels (and honestly have no real interest of ever changing that), I’m very fond of the film trilogy by Peter Jackson. My favourite out of the three is The Two Towers, and one reason is because of the character Treebeard.

Basilisk (Fantasy World by Papo)

The basilisk is famously known as the “king of serpents,” a venomous creature so lethal that simply looking into its cold eyes brings upon death. According to Pliny the Elder’s Natural History, written in 79 AD, “When it hisses, all the other serpents fly from it: and it does not advance its body, like the others, by a succession of folds, but moves along upright and erect upon the middle.

The chupacabra (Spanish for “goat sucker”) is a cryptid whose origins can be traced back to1995, when in Puerto Rico livestock began turning up dead, drained of blood, and possessing puncture wounds. Eyewitnesses described a bipedal creature, with large red eyes, spines running down the back, hairless skin, and standing 3-4’ (0.9 to 1.2 m) tall.

Flying Alien Queen (Aliens by Kenner)

The Kenner Aliens line really came into its own beginning with Series 2. Whereas the xenomorphs in the first wave were relatively conservative in design, the later ones were all over the place, and all in a good way. There was the Killer Crab Alien, the Mantis Alien, the Rhino Alien, and the Snake Alien among others.

Even if you don’t follow ufology and alien coverups, you’ve no doubt heard about the Roswell incident, one of the most famous conspiracy theories of all time. It has been referenced countless times in media, including in The X-files, Independence Day, Star Trek, and The Simpsons, and it has made the city of Roswell, New Mexico a holy land of sorts for ufologists, to the point that Roswell now supports a robust tourism industry based on ufology.

The full set of figures found in the Monsters book and box set. Eclectic does not begin to describe it. (Editor note: This is the final of the three Monster Toy Blog-relevant book/toy sets. Unlike the Magical Creatures and Mythical Beasts sets, I never covered this one on the FaunaFigures blog, but I’ll use the same general format) Here I am with the last Groovy Tubes set from Innovative Kids that focused on monsters, myths and fantasy (there was a Knights one…not sure if that would fit but I don’t have it).
