This is something I've been thinking about for a while. What made some of these MiSTed films stink?
<Mr. B Natural mode>
Why, it was the lack of merchandising! If they just had a few knickknacks related to this film, they would have made a bundle off of it!
</Mr. B Natural mode>
So, my game is simple: Think of the best, worst, and most oddball thing you can have related to a MiSTed film.
The film this time out is: Manos, the Hands of Fate. (I'm starting with an easy one.)
Secret prizes will be awarded to winners!

The Torgo Costume Set: Comes with Goat Leg apparatus, an outfit, a staff, a hat, and a bag of pot and a bong (for the patented Torgo stagger).
Plush Peppy The Poodle: self-explanatory.
Plush Torgo: self-explanatory.
Plush Master: self-explanatory.
Plush Master's Wife: self-explanatory.
Plush Margaret: self explanmatory.
Margaret Fashion Doll: A Barbie-like fashion doll.
Master's Wife Fashion Doll: A Barbie-like fashion doll.
Talking Torgo: A 12-inch figure of our beloved anti-hero. Push a button on his back and he says one of several phrases:
"I am Torgo. I take care of the place while The Master is away."
"The Master would not approve."
"There is no way out of here. It will be dark soon. There is no way out of here."
"The Master likes you."
"You have several wives! Why can't I have one for myself?"
and more...

A paint-by-numbers painting of the Master.
Torgo hats, just like beanie caps only slightly less creepy.
Action Figures, Action Figures, Action Figures. Even The Love Boat had 'em!
And the accessorizing cars to put them in.

The Torgo "Flaming Hand" Tiki torch. Excellent for keeping those pesky mosquitos away during cookouts.  |

“Torgo’s Knees.” Great padding when you’re working in the garden.
This is actually a very good idea. I think you could make lots of money from this, considering the cult following the movie has. Hell, I’d buy one right now!

And of course there's the Manos: the Hands of Fate inspired costumes. The Master's robe: dark, with the imprint of the hands, that comes with a breathable cotton panel and an interior pocket for your Mentos. Chirping hellbeast extra.

How about one of those electrical gizmos that repeat back what you say into the microphone.
You could called it the Torgometer, because Torgo always says his lines twice.
“No madam, not dead like you know it; He is with us always. Not dead, like you know it."

Best: ChibodeeCrocket's rock 'em sock 'em Master's Wives. Relive the worst catfight in movie history in the comfort of your own home! You win a cable car from The Crawling Eye!
Worst: Rob T. Firefly's Manos: The can of paint. You win Eegah's used turkey leg.

One I would have done: Your very own evil hand of fate on a stick. You too can put a curse on someone from a distance with your very own evil hand of fate!
Adding a rule: Simple action figures are out. Any idiot can make an action figure. I want it to do something special to reflect the film.
Next movie: Robot Holocaust!
Good luck!

O.k. I guess Robot Holocaust wasn't a good one to do.
Otrfan wins a deadly sock puppet from Robot Holocaust.
Let's try this one: Space Mutiny!
