South Park

While I'm waiting on new stuff to arrive, I thought I'd share one of my all time favourite scenes from South Park. For those of you who don't watch South Park, you're missing out & you suck. Go get cultured already!


NOTE: If this video won't play, you should be able to watch it here - Trust My Coon Sense

Additionally, Alex DeLarge shows up in the extended movie-length version of Imaginationland, amongst the villains. Absolutely great film by the way, I highly recommend it.


There are other A Clockwork Orange references in the show, but these two are the most obvious.
Even in the original South Park movie, when Cartman has the V-chip implanted in his brain & we watch him being tested, suggests a loose parody of the similar scene in ACO. Brilliant really.

Mexican Toys - Homer Parodies - Alex

Here's a little something I stumbled across on eBay recently. A Homer Simpson Alex parody. Now, don't quote me on this, but from all my hunting, I'm pretty sure they're made by a company/artist called 'Mexican Toys'. They do parodies of all sort of characters, justice league for example, but Alex is of course where, my interest lay.


It's a beautiful item, a smooth paint job, the walking stick is a loose accessory, slides into the left hand & it's about 5.5inches tall. Overall a stunning figure, I'm incredibly pleased with it. By far one of the greatest items I've found on eBay all year.


I'm unsure how limited they are, I only found a few sites listing them, or with details about them. My suggestion if you want one, seek one out as soon as possible. The eBay seller I bought from claimed they were handmade(though there's no artist signature & I personally wonder, considering the perfectly smooth quality of the paint), so there's a chance the numbers are very low. I think it's a wonderful piece, completely worth adding to ones collection.
