Anyone remember a thrasher/punk band from the 1980's called "GWAR"?
Well, Shocker Toys LLC has purchased licensing rights to develop and sell a set of GWAR action figures.
GWAR was so extreme in its music, lyrics and costumes it was almost like a parody. The band members had outlandish names: Oderus Urungus, Flattus Maximus, Beefcake the Mighty, Jizmak Da Gusha and Balsac the Jaws of Death. These guys made Raiders football fans look like Hare Krishna monks.
This coming Summer, all five GWAR band members will be honored with 6-8 inch fully sculpted figures, and will retail for $15.00 a set. The company is also throwing in a GWAR comic book with each purchase.

You keep referring to GWAR in the past tense. They're still around, and still playing. I saw them in Boise, Idaho last year. If you go see them, don't wear clothes you care about. Their stage show is one part Grand Guignol to two parts Troma. Worth a see.
As a GWAR fan I must chime in. GWAR was indeed a parody of metal bands. They have had a huge following for 20 years and continue to tour and put out excellent albums.
We will make sure the 7 inch line is well done by a sideshow sculptor who did freddy and jason Gwar def deserves this! Our smaller line will be interchangable.
and don't forget that they were Beavis and Butthead's favorite group!
If only we had Beavis and Butthead.....

You have to check out the Flickr.com image set I made of the GWAR Art show that happened in their hometown of Richmond, VA last weekend.

I have been to several concerts in the last year alone... GWAR hasn't changed at all but their music is heavier their costumes more realistic and the blood gushes forth much more! I myself am preparing to go to Douglas Ed. Center Under the art direction of Savini... I post this msg as a fan/blog h/e After I get my degree Oderus and I are finally going to talk future "enslavement" THAT I PROMISE YOU! "HAIL GWAR!"

You can per-order them finally! =)
Shouldn't these have been out by now? Has Shocker dropped the ball on ANOTHER line he's promised?
gwar fuckin rocks im 15 and i saw them in concert in buffallo ny it was fucking amazing
I'm glad somebody pointed out that they are still touring...hell they are putting out a new CD in like September! I'm going to the Sounds of the underground Tour in Portland, Or...SO EXCITED!!
gwar is AWESOME GAWR FOREVER!!!
I agree with Anonymous about not wearing clothes that you care about. I have been to several GWAR shows. All you have to do is buy a cheap Fruit of the Loom white t-shirt and go to see them live wearing that shirt. Free GWAR memorabilia.
And my brother is not a fan of metal music at all and I took him to a GWAR show and he had a damn good time. Their stage performance alone is worth going there.
I am one of many huge gwar fans and I have liked them ever since the firt hell-o album and yes I was 16 at the time and now 32 still loving gwar till I die!!! p.s. girls loves gwar cause I am one!!
its about time
