A Closer Look - Palisades Toys Sickly Stimpy Figure

The now defunct company Palisades Toys made one of my favorite cartoons, Ren & Stimpy into an action figure and mini pvc bust lines. Palisades closed their doors quite a few years back which was really sad. They were a great company but the whole action figure scene at that time was not that good.



Palisades Toys was a company that paid attention to detail on characters and accessories. One of my favorite figures was the Stimpy Variant called Sickly Tongue Stimpy. Every figure was always packed with a log in its own blister card. When things started to go down it was when these were showing up at the KB Toys Outlet stores (think these stores are now closed too) for cheap. Loved this figure a lot and purchased as many as they had to create the Sickly Tongue Stimpy Army.

Stimpy stands 5" tall. He came with a bunch of accessories including a log, litter box and a few others which are all boxed up and stored separately. The attention to detail is crazy. Love the tongue. Wish Palisades did not close down. Still need Sven!!! Another thing Palisades was known for was the crazy amount of accessories you would get with their figures. They were a great company that was always accessible to their fans at shows and on their forums. Miss these guys. Wish they were still around!
