It's Friday, which means it's time to travel to the past... This time around, @vegettoex.bsky.social shares the history and stories behind an infamous line of figure releases from Irwin back in 2000 (with a historical cameo from @roccobotte.bsky.social!). 🔗 www.kanzenshuu.com/2026/08/14/f...

I've always wondered what the reasoning was for this - best I can find is speculation they just thought the characters weren't good enough to sell on their own, so they thought including accessories would get kids' attention.

I really really love this. I remember screaming about it back in the day but it's really funny to look back on now.

It’s crazy the turnaround Irwin made from this line and their original line that was what, less than a year later?

I had this figure as a kid, and loved laughing about the machine gun inclusion with friends. I don't remember the jokes being around online then? But it's a non-zero chance the boys and I were influenced by Mike's rant. Great trip down memory lane. 😊
