You can buy signed photos of pretty much any celebrity on eBay, assuming the celebrity was alive in the time of pens. Of his hundreds of tree huggers, Chucky is one of my favorites, both for the creepy eyes, and the idea that repeatedly dying has given him stray grays. The perpetually sneaky Chucky works well in this medium he is so the guy who would case the scene from behind a tree.Īs best as I can tell, the seller cuts and paints these himself. He makes “tree huggers” for virtually every character imaginable, which sounds like an exaggeration until you’re up to and you still haven’t seen his green-skinned mummy.ĭeduction indicates that a “tree hugger” is a two-dimensional wooden figure, which can be attached to a tree to suggest that said figure is peering out from behind it. I’ve been tracking this seller’s auctions for more than a year.
Blending an assault on Andy with the iconic promotional image of Chucky beheading a jack-in-the-box, it’s as hauntingly beautiful as a cheap, three inch plastic pinball game could be.
The games are of the sort one might find in the loot bag of a second grader’s birthday party, but what you’re really paying for is the cardboard background. If you’re more solvent, you should definitely buy this. I’ve quietly spied on those auctions for years… always wanting to bid, but never able to justify the overseas shipping rate. There’s an enormous number of horror-themed pinball games in exactly this scale and shape. “Bootleg horror toys” and “country shaped like a chicken leg” summarizes everything I know about Argentina. More bootleg horror toys have come out of Argentina than seemingly anywhere else. (And when I say “best,” I usually mean “weirdest.”)Īctive Auction Link | Posterity Screenshot Below are the five best Child’s Play items currently on eBay. To celebrate Chucky - because that’s what we’re doing today - I thought I’d dust off an abandoned Dino Drac series. Chucky started as a straight-up slasher, evolved into a sort of cartoon, and eventually settled into something approaching “outsider art.” I adored all of it. The second one is my favorite, but even the more polarizing fourth and fifth films worked for me. In my mind, there’s no bad Child’s Play movie. My earliest memories of horror movies come in blips and bleeps, but with Child’s Play, I was all-in. It wasn’t, but I fell in love all the same. Of the right age to clearly recognize him as a riff on Hasbro’s My Buddy dolls, I stupidly assumed that the Child’s Play franchise was at least partially targeted at kids. I was a late bloomer with horror, but Chucky was an exception.
