1992 Toy Island talking monsters

Should I be afraid of Coffin Joe?

[Unknown Primate]

Be afraid....  be VERY afraid!

[Gasport]

WOW...Terrific score, Ray! Too bad they never made it to the US...Do i detect a little Shock Monster going on with the Zombie figure? CONGRATS!!

Now let me get this straight Ray, you do mean the curse of OUGHIN Joe! That's all I need at my time of life a coughing fit, oh the horror. Seriously, many thanks for your kind words they are a nice gesture. As a postscript I would like to add a bit more to their back story.I am a compulsive package opener,yes no matter what it is Sideshow or Aurora out they all came from their assorted packages no toy was safe. However for some unknown (not primates) reason I never had the urge to open these figures, I even opened my Mego Star trek and Planet of the apes figures played with the superheroes but they remained unopened. They were destined for Ray from the start. He is a very honest man even to the point of explaining how hard they were to get, even before we made a deal now that's trusting. As he also explained back in 2008 when I first joined he expressed his interest if ever I wanted to let them go, so now they now reside in the New World. I can just see the Zombie with out-stretched arms crossing the Atlantic "I'm the King of the World!" To the theme of Titanic, I wish you well you brain eating cadaver. Thank you again Ray.

It is too bad I have to start a new thread on these, as I would have preferred to post this in the original Toy Island monster thread I started in 2008. But that thread was recently locked.

To make sure that does not happen to this thread, I have enlisted the assistance of my Coffin Joe action figure.

Hi Ray, long time no see/chat.
This doll, where did you get it? I tried to read you thread but couldn't understand where or how, so I'm asking you.
On Facebook, Mojica (yeah, the man) asked if someone knew who made it and if he could get one of those for his own collection, because he didn't had it.
He was alking about this:



And this:



If you know something let me know!

Abraços!

! Muy incredible!

Hello Luckmann! About the doll, it is a custom figure made by Matt Jaycox a few years ago. Matt made three copies. He kept one for himself, gave one to me, and sent one to Mojica, who should have it in his possession.

When you say Mojica asked about it on Facebook, please keep in mind that celebrities often have social media managers. And keep in mind that Mojica does not speak English.

It is my understanding that Mojica does in fact have one of these dolls. I am not going to believe otherwise unless Mojica stands in front of me, eye to eye, and tells me so. But that is probably not going to happen soon, as I cannot afford to fly to Brazil to talk to someone about a doll. I have the word of one of Mojica's close associates that the doll was delivered into Mojica's hands. On the other hand, I have some posts on Facebook that say otherwise. Which should I believe?

Things can be kind of sketchy in Brazil, and the language and cultural barriers can be tremendous. It is very difficult for an English-speaking American to take care of business in Brazil without flying there and dealing with it in person. If I ever return to Brazil, and I am able to meet Mojica again, I will take the opportunity to ask him about the doll. If he tells me in person that he did not receive it, I will get to the bottom of it. But until that day comes, I cannot and will not worry about it.

Understood Ray. I got your point.
I just asked because I read it on his facebook wall and cannot answer if was him or someone from his staff.
If this upsets you, I apologize, that was not my objective.
The facebook profile is really Mojica's profile, he confirms it on a Youtube video.
IF he does or doesn't have the doll, I can't tell you, my friend, but I'd like to.
Again, I'm sorry to bother you and I promissed it'll never happen again but I strongly recommend that you try some contact with his staff, there are too many brazilian people saying bad things on it, and as you said, we are a kind of hard talking people.

Wish you the best, bro!

Well that would suck if he never got it.

I worked hard on that thing.

[Howler]

I do like that werewolf toy. What a great name as well.

Yes, that would be disappointing for all concerned.

This seller is using photos of my Toy Island Zombie in her ebay auction. Who knows if she even owns a Zombie. The only two pictures she uses are both mine, the same pictures posted earlier in this thread. I'm going to complain to her and ask her to remove the photos. I would be careful about bidding on this. Using someone else's photos in your auction, instead of photos of the actual piece you are selling, is quite shady.

Looks like she put up a different pic. Can't say if that's hers either, though. 

[raycastile]

The seller has revised the listing and removed my photos. So the photos up now should be the seller's actual toy, though I cannot verify that.

[Yecch!]

These are beautiful! I especially like the weirdo vampire.

She should take a picture of the zombie holding today's newspaper, like from back when extortionists had class! eBay has made it into such a tawdry, vulgar act.
