Yeti Bio

The American Defense line from Remco went bat excrement crazy after starting out as a bunch of me-too copies of concepts made popular by GI Joe. The amount of colorful and downright nutty concepts is a treasure trove for those who appreciate weirdness and a just-go-with-it sense of fun in their toys. I think sometimes we get pedantic in our nerdy pursuits, and toys like this can breathe some innocent fun into our world of just-so adulthood.
That’s so over the top terrible that it’s spectacular. A claw hand and he doesn’t need to eat for a month? Plus, he can digest walrus tusks and shoe leather? This guy fits right in with the Big Brawler/Sure Fire type filecards of the early 2000’s.
”Trying to act like a knock-off version of G.I.Joe snow troopers from the 1980’s”.
THAT dude’s awesome.
Claw hand, only eats once a month?? This bloke thinks he’s a scorpion
Bet a 4 year old dreamt that one up….or its a VERY desperate attempt at appealing to a child to buy the thing!
