What the heck is a Squatz? Why do we need one? Why does it fizzle? This little nugget of fizzy gold teamed up with DC Comics to put some iconic DC characters into Squatz form.

Have you ever been at the grocery store and seen a toy on the rack of the check out counter next to the beef jerky and wondered, "who buys that garbage?" The answer is simple. I buy that garbage. About a year ago, I found a little toy called "Squatz" at my local grocery store and spent $9 on something that took me what felt like 9 hours to get out of the package. However, if you know me, then you know I can resist a toy, especially if it's a weird one.

So, I have a fat Hal Jordan and a fat Aquaman not, and I couldn't tell you where they are. I can only assume they took my DeLorean out for a ride and never came back. $9 down the drain. Have you guys ever seen these things? Better yet, has anyone bought these things before?

Also the name is a little too close to another word...that's kinda gross.

You don't make me want it less! Hope you enjoy your fat toys.

Bad ass Delorean!

I saw these the other day at a store I was coming across and thought they looked neat. Don't know if I'll pay 9 bucks for em but cool!

Just in case anyone was wondering why I say "Gimme back my son," you haven't watched the movie Ransom enough times.

The DeLorean has a glowing flux capacitor? WANT. O_O

Man those are like the dehydrated sponge toys you can buy at the store. Only you get like 5 or 10 for like 5 bucks.

Is there a Squatz WonderWoman?

Yes... she's horribly fat looking

It won't let me post pics though

The worst part about this video was me trying to justify the price for the figures.

"Well, it's like your paying $4.50 each for mini squat figurines, but the high price is due to the surcharge of the "fizzy" experience..."

Ok, the toys themselves suck, but I think we've just come up with a great crossover comic: Green Lantern and Aquaman in 'Return to Coming Back From Going To The Future!'

Basically, GL and AM travel through time and space in a revamped DeLorean. Also, they eat a lot of junk food, hence the gained weight.

My God... a loss of time and money with this toys. They looks ugly

Fun video!

Not really seeing the point of them if you can't 'fizz' them in the bathtub. Surely kids would want somekind of interaction rather than staring at a bowl or a sink.

Suddenly reminded of this little plastic/sponge dinosaur thing I got as a kid which expanded and grew bigger when you put it in water. It was swiftly banned when a child nearly died when he swallowed one and it expanded in his throat. Any innuendo's in this post are purely coincidental...

This is the very definition of "taking one for the team."

Nacho cheese gives me the fizzie squatz.

Yay! Comic vine video!

That's so meta... Watching a video of me on the show I host.... Maybe that will be one of our themes in the next couple of weeks.

OMG!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DELOREAN????

I am totally buying this!!!

I like how if you leave the plastic wrapper on it makes a cricket noise....and the part where the larger fat Hal turned into a smaller fat Hal. Ingenious design.

I was in Toys R US last week and almost bought one of these lol

@Crimson Eagle: @danhimself: It looks like the Diamond Select 1/15th Mark I Time Machine, you can find them on amazon or most online toy shops.

Good video.
