In space, no one can hear you squeal like a pig. |
One of the best moments in
Toy Story 3 is when
Hamm (as The
Evil Dr. Porkchop) hovers on to the scene in his piggy bank shaped spaceship. I have known of this Imaginext version of '
The Evil Dr. Porkchop's Spaceship' made by
Fisher-Price for a while now, and have always thought it was extremely awesome. But, not collecting Toy Story stuff, I could never justify picking it up.
But when I saw it at the local thrift store for $2 I couldn't pass on it! I was caught in it's tractor-beam and sucked into it's space-bacony goodness.

KHHHHAAAAAAANNNNNN I help you? |
When I picked it up, something in the cockpit rattled. It's Dr. Porkchop himself!
|
That's one small step for pickled pig's feet... | |
This spaceship originally came with this Hamm in bowler hat, as well as an Imaginext Buzz Lightyear and a barrel/bomb. Unfortunately the bomb and Buzz are missing, but finding the ship with Dr. Porkchop included - for $2 - more than makes up for the other missing bits.

I made the Kessel Run in less than 12 pork-secs. |
This thing is pretty rad. I think I might bring it to work to keep as desk-art and to brighten my day every time I look at it. I mean seriously: a pig shaped spaceship - what's not to love?
|
Save me, George Clooney! |
Bonus: Any standard sized Imaginext figure will fit in the cockpit. I might have Batman piloting this thing on my desk at work.
Piiiigs iiiiin Spaaaaccceeeeee!!!!!!!
I took pictures of this just yesterday! Have you seen the huge Evil Dr Porkchop spaceship playset ? Its like 5 times the size of this one.
ReplyDeleteI've seen pics online but never saw it in person. It does look impressive though- it would make a great Mother Ship for this littler one!
DeleteI didn't see the 3rd movie yet. It is on my list.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one!
DeleteI would buy it for $2! Killing deal for something so much fun.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's incredibly fun!
DeleteWhat a sweet find! Been thinking of trying to track one down as well, but similarly, it wasn't worth it for me at retail.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found it - it had been on my radar for a while!
DeleteSweet! First time I see this toy.
