I was just talking about Oz last night.

Hey, you know what this is? It's some sort of big freaky, ugly scarecrow action figure, courtesy of MacFarlane Toys.

Okay, and hey, this here's some sort of horrific lion man.

And this thing? This thing seems to be some sort of clumsy robot/cyborg/metal dude thingie...

Hey, wait a moment - a scarecrow, a lion and a metal guy? These couldn't possibly be Wizard of Oz figures, could they? I mean, if they were, they'd still need a Wizard of some sort, and this steampunk'd fop certainly couldn't be it. I mean, what would that make Toto, some sort of sloppy carnivore roughly the size of a show pony? It couldn't be.

Okay, what's the worst part of this, exactly: MacFarlane aping American McGee for the cheap "Ooooh, childhood memory turned dark" pop, or just the idea of a dark, sinister Wizard of Oz in the first place? Oh, or wait, I forgot one: Dorothy in bondage. You heard me. Comes with horrible mutant Munchkins. Someone remind me to hate MacFarlane later on today, okay?

OK, just for the record, I liked McFarlane's toys until I saw these!!

I'll never be able to watch the WoO again without nightmares!

I'm the same way, I liked most of the MF toy stuff beforehand, buy I really don't like the fleshy, wounded toys her.
