COOL CAPSULES: Numb Skullz ''Bernie''

We've seen the Numb Skullz here before, with Bernie's ''capsule cousin'' Louie appearing in a previous Cool Capsules feature. However, last night as I was leaving a store I spotted a Numb Skullz vending machine and - as I'd had no luck finding any of the new GI Joe or Marvel Universe figures - I decided to console myself with a 50c toy instead. And Bernie was the result.

COOL CAPSULES: Numb Skullz ''Louie''

''Gogo's Crazy Bones.'' Three words that have spawned an entire industry of homages, knock-offs, look-alikes and ''tributes'' in the world of vending machine toys. On that list of toys - which includes Bok Choi Boys and Freaky Geeks - you can add another entrant: the Numb Skullz.
