For the past few weeks
Last Resorts Toys has been running a really exciting campaign on Kickstarter to get these really awesome
Trash Bag Bunch XL vinyl figures produced based on the original Trash Bag Bunch mini figures of the early ‘90s. There’s only a few days left to back this KS campaign and it’s almost fully funded, so if you’re considering adding these Trash Bag Bunch XL figures to your collection the time to act is now!
These Trash Bag Bunch XL vinyl figures are official licensed updates of the original figures from 1991, but four times the size and with heaps more details! Trash Bag Bunch XL are four times the size of the original mini figures with added details and articulation. Each figure has been designed, sculpted and prototyped by hand. As part of this campaign, Last Resort Toys are supersizing two Trash Bag Bunch figures: Liceplant and Muckoid.
Liceplant is 9” tall and 7.5” wide, while Muckoid is 7.5” tall and nearly as deep and wide. The larger scale has allowed for increased detail, more intricate paint schemes, and the addition of articulation. Liceplant has 2 points of articulation at the arms, and Muckoid has 6 points of articulation – both arms, and a swivel on all four eyes. Due to the extra parts and more complicated design, Muckoid's production costs are higher, as reflected in the price.
Both figures are available for pre-order on Kickstarter now
here in multiple colorways, including a KS exclusive colorway. The Kickstarter exclusive colorway is a red and blue Liceplant and an orange and blue Muckoid. These paint schemes are based on the pre-production photos of the second series of Trash Bag Bunch, many of which were never produced.
In case you’re not familiar with this retro toy line, the Trash Bag Bunch was a set of mini figures released by Galoob in 1991. It had a great play gimmick where the toys were packed in little trash bags and you didn't know what toy you got until you dropped the bag into water where it would dissolve; frothing and foaming to reveal your new toy!
