Official sources within Dairycon today revealed a picture of yet another Dairycon exclusive:

It can be none other than Toiletbot!

Holy Crap!

This is one for the record book, folks. Toiletbot was last seen about 10 years ago... just before the first Dairycon Convention.

Sporting what appears to be articulation and a number of accessories, Toiletbot marks his triumphant return as a fully-realized production figure for the Dairycon Convention. Suffice it to say, Dairycon is staying close to its roots with this one.

Toiletbot will be offered as a Limited Lucky Draw exclusive item to those who attend the Dairycon Convention. Limited to a handful of pieces at the show, he will come handsomely packed and with a full array of secret accessories!

Although it's too-late to register for Dairycon, you can watch the site for additional reveals and updates. It will be a great treat, especially for those lucky enough to attend!

If you haven't already heard, Confirmation Packets for Dairycon will be mailed out the week of March 30th. As always, you can visit the Dairyland Transfans site here:

Ten years ago? Can you enlighten us on this matter a bit more?

[Mkall]

That is strange and awesome at the same time.

Also more pics can be found here

For those of you whom may somehow recognize the precursor to this figure, the original has appeared before, premeiring in 1999! Pictures of him were seen in both Toyfare Magazine (Issue #27):

as well as Lee's AFN (issue #83):

Pity the arms can't fold into the rear tank.
Of course, it's intentional level of FAIL makes it riotous too.

I want this more than I could ever want any of the movie figures.

[UltraPrimal]

WTF? WTF?! Seriously WTF!?! This is the most bizarre TF I've ever seen. I don't even wanna see what's in the bowl. There's either a turd or, judging from where the bowl is in relation to the rest of his body, something else. And he doesn't even really transform. His robot kibble just goes behind him. OH and they've blinged it too. This really is a crap toy. But it's awesome too.

[nemesis-prime]

TAKE THAT LUCKY DRAW GOLD FIGS!!! THIS IS AWSOME I WANT ONE. BUT ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT

[Windracer]

Win.

Of epic proportions.

[First-Aid]

I literally have tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard. This is without any doubt in my mind the BEST THING EVER!

[D-340]

OOOOOHHHH, makes me wish I had registered for Dairycon in time this year! This is so awesome. Kinda reminds of the toilet in my first apartment, which coincidentally, was when I lived in Wisconsin.

[Bed Bugs]

I'm not 100% sure, but I have a VERY good feeling I know where the toilet came from to make this figure.

My sister used to buy all kinds of WWF/WWE wrestling figures in the 1990's and some of them came with accessories and weapons for "Hardcore" matches. Of those weapons, I distinctly remember a toilet that came with one of the wrestlers.

I've tried Google to find a pic of it, and I've pretty much struck out.

The best image of it that I could find is on an Ebay auction listed here.

So someone could by that auction, grab a junker jumpstarter and make their own Toiletbot...

[Firebird]

Thats awesome

Is it wrong that I like that way more that Botcon Kup.

[Dead Metal]

That is awesome!
He's even in a flash animated short as far as I remember, I'll see if I can find it.

Ah, I was thinking they'd just used clay to mess with the mold from that toilet where you dunk the lollipop "plunger" into the candy powder inside the bowl lol.

Hmm... that gives me an idea... ...Wonder if the convenience store around the corner still sells those...

[nemesis-prime]

anyone rember this toy i had it it was awsome

[Windsweeper]

Could do with a better name. Not exactly bowling me over.

Chamber maybe?

Or perhaps we could have Waspinator engage 'Pottybot'.

After I saw this, I was compelled to pull the Jumpstarters out of storage.

Is he an Autobot or Decepticon?

Just get the feeling he's not very popular whichever side he's on.

[Diem]

A few days early?

*sits back, twiddles thumbs*

[Zeds]

HOLY CRAP! Not that I got that pun out of the way the body form looks like a Twintwister from the 80s.

[Methusalen]

HOLY CRAP! Not that I got that pun out of the way the body form looks like a Twintwister from the 80s.

That would be because the head & limbs ARE from a Jumpstarter figure.

[craggy]

yeah its a jumpstarter and a wwf toilet accessory.

i'm not sure i'm really getting the whole Dairycon thing though. is it a real convention, and they just make these custom figures as a joke, or what?

[Sabrblade]

Look! It's "O-Ring" from that April Fools TFA S3 episode guide!

[Bed Bugs]

Dairycon is indeed a real convention held at the Ramada Inn in Fond du Lac, WI.

The exclusives usually go for humor, because us Cheeseheads are silly people.

They were crap anyway from what I remember so this is poetic justice.

[typh0id]

I wish I could say I DIDN'T want this...

Really wish I could say that...

[T-Macksimus]

Finally, a figure that is destined to get more...crap than Wheelie!
