Custom Delights: Battletoads by G-Brand
Yes. These are Battletoads and you know what, they deserve some respect. When I was growing up, these toads were the stars of one of the greatest beat-em ups of all time. Nowadays however, these aggressive amphibians are little more than a punchline and it's got me seeing red. Luckily, thanks to these custom figures by G-Brand of FigureRealm, I'm back to seeing a lovely shade of toad green. Made mostly from wrestling figures Rash, Zitz, and Pimple are perfect representations of their video game counterparts, full of the extreme early 90's flavor that made them so popular in the first place. Seriously, look at Rash. With those sunglasses and fingerless gloves, he's only a leather jacket away from being in a hair metal band. Rare, if you are listening, please make a new Battletoads game. In this time of turmoil its what America needs right now. Plus, I really like punching pigs in the face. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Sweet! Those are epic! Love the Battletoads, but damn, their games were brutal. I still can't beat the NES game, even with save states! Still, one awesome title! =) I'd love to see a pic set with these custom Battletoads squaring off against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 11:00 PM on 05.23.2013 Fate of figma Strength comes into questionRemember how awesome Wonder Festival 2013 Winter was with its torrent of figma goodness?
