Creepy Toys: At Last, The McDonald's/Madame Alexander Winged Monkey is Mine!

I'm coming to take you away...
This is, kidding aside, the kind of shit I live for.  Shopping for a windbreaker over at The Village Discount Outlet, I scanned the bin of naked Barbies by the checkout, as is my wont.  Imagine my excitement at finding this wee blue fellow.

Okay, so check this out:
1.  Winged monkeys = terror
2.  Madame Alexander dolls = unintentionally creepy (please be sure you're sitting down before you click the link.  I mean it.)
3.  McDonald's = evil, nefarious, gross and also creepy
4.  Part of a set (below) = geeky, stupid but also cool
5.  from a thrift store = impressively germy
6.  plus cost = 20 cents

= 120% excellence

And the Grand Prize question:  would any kid, other than a demented one, even want these as a Happy Meal toy?  Who decided these were something kids would remotely like?  However, I have seen them displayed ironically in the cubicles of folks who like to wave their nerd flag a bit, to which I say, Wave On.

Parenthetically, I also snagged a Jasmine today, with a singularly large and ill-fitting crown affixed immovably to her head.  She can hang out with my Aladdin Genie car.

Won't the Oz crew be happy to see one of their own?  So now I guess it's just the Lion left to hunt for.  Nice cobwebs, eh?  Welcome to my office - this is seriously the tiniest tip of the iceberg.  All kinds of trippy crap in here. 
And we thought we were creepy.
