Anybody know who this weird looking dude is?

Posted in Identify Help

Anybody recognize who this guy is or what toy line he's from? I got him Tuesday, in a small paper lunch bag full of random "creepy dudes" figures that I bought from a local thrift store, but I'm drawing a complete blank on his identity. He's roughly the same scale/style as the original 3-3/4" G.I.JOE figures (he doesn't have their "swivel-arm-battle-grip" elbow/biceps joints though, but he does have wrist joints, which vintage JOEs lack, and he's got a swivel waist instead of the G.I.JOE rubber O-ring). There isn't any copyright date or company name molded on the body anywhere that I can find (just "L" and "R" codes to designate which sides of his body the limbs go on during assembly at the factory), but, if I had to guess, I'd say he's probably from the 80s or 90s. He's got a translucent yellow-orange body through which you can see his blackened rib cage and arm/leg bones, which is pretty cool. While it's possible that he's just from some cheap/generic toy line, he does seem like better quality than that to me, so, I'd speculate that he was made by one of the bigger toy companies and I'm just not familiar with whatever franchise/property he belongs to.

Okay, a guy on another forum I belong to asked around for me and found out what he is. Turns out he's "Hamburger Brain" from Jakks Pacific's MXS Zombies line--something that I'd never heard of or seen before. He came in a boxed set with a human (Xterminator), two motorcycles, two bike stands, a machine gun, and an air tank. Mystery solved!

Possibly. His pallid, purplish skin tone and black bones suggest something rather unpleasant has befallen him and the yellow/orange color of the transparent plastic would go with electricity.

I wonder if that's supposed to be the "electrified" or "x-ray" version of a character, like all those weird Batman figures from the '90s
