Wildebeest, from the Bandai Teen Titans action figure line.
This guy is cool in such a ridiculous way. A mutant Gnu - what's not to love? I know nothing about him, but was able to find some wikis about his comicbook versions as well as this Teen Titans cartoon version. I had originally assumed he was a villain, but apparently he was a Teen Titan ally, at least in the cartoon.
Wildebeest is a little roughed up with a couple chipped spots on his paint. No wait: 'Battle scars.' Aw yeah!
He originally came with a club accessory, but of course mine is missing his weapon.
I recently found this guy at my local thrift store. He only cost fifty cents, so I can handle the battle scars. In fact, this is the second Wildebeest I've found at that thrift store. But the first one I found a couple years ago was in such terrible filthy gunked-up shape that I had no option but to pass on him. Seriously, he was disgusting. But I always wanted to find him in good shape after that, and it finally happened.
Nice find! And I think there was a whole society of these guys.
ReplyDeleteA whole society? I never gnu! (Get it? Haw Haw Haw!)
DeleteIf you ever find the disgustingly gunky one again send it my way. This would make a FANTASTIC base for a customized Krampus action figure.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, it was in BAD shape! But I will keep you in mind if I do see another!
