^He's actually called "Brutus" on the box. It stems back from the '60s and '70s when King Features thought Paramount created Bluto for the cartoons when in actuality he was a one-off villian from the comic strip around the time the Fleischer Bros. were examining it for cartoon ideas. This has caused a lot of confusion amongst licencers and both Bluto and Brutus pop up interchangibly on a lot of merch.
Bluto is now on my shelf right next to Eric Powell's comic character The Goon ... I think they compliment each other.
I haven't bought many toys in the last few years, but recent musings on my neat but small collection left me to realize I should have a more diverse collection. Mine's basically all Godzilla and Hellboy and The Goon with a few old Ninja Turtles (and the Usagi figure from the newer TMNT line. The one that actually resembles the comic character) and the MST3K bots that have come with the DVD sets.
I'm not mainly just destructive beasts. I need to more accurately reflect my personality!
...so the Popeyes are my first stop. I've decided I also need: a Tardis. a stuffed Totoro, a stuffed Winnie the Pooh, something Scrooge McDuck, and something Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
Oh, I also picked up this neat Groucho Marx Christmas ornament from a Carlton Cards that was going out of business:
Because nothing says Christmas like a Jewish comedian!
