One thing I have not made clear here is my love for 80's action figures. So, let's clear the air. I love 80's action figures. If I had alot of money, maybe I would be one of those weird guys who collects them and leaves them in their bubble cases afraid that if exposed to 21st century air they would lose value instantly. Nah, I think that I would be no different than the 1983 version of myself. They would be immediately ripped open to begin their conquest of the other action figures (including the sexy Teela?).
Huh....well this explains something.
Huh....well this explains something.One phenomenon that particularly interested me as a young avid collector were crossover characters. It was always interesting to think "what if". "What if He-Man fought Megatron...what would happen?!?!" "What if Snake Eyes fought Daniel LaRusso???" Ok, maybe that last one isnt that big of a question, but Hasbro did answered one of the biggest "What Ifs" of the 80's.
What if William "The Refrigerator" Perry were an action figure.
I can see the gap from here.
Yep. There he is. Just as svelte as in real-life. There are only a couple of obvious things of note here. First of all his weapon of choice is a type of mace with a football shaped end to it. You don't want to take him too far out of his element. It's also pretty lucky that no one else had number 72, since that could have been awkward. As far as I can tell, the only details on this guy that "truly" make him the Fridge are the moustache and gap between his teeth.
Still looking for some Cobras to bust. (has the gap become larger?!?)

Still looking for some Cobras to bust. (has the gap become larger?!?)I don't really remember the specifics of Fridge's stint with the Joes, and frankly I'm too lazy to really look it up, but I will assume that it was a great success and he was honorably discharged at some point. Overall it was pretty weird. It didn't "make sense" like when wrestler Sergeant Slaughter became a joe. I wasn't a big sports fan back then, but looking back I can see how he could have been drafted into "America's highly trained special mission force"
I'm not sure what the Fridge is these days. I can only assume that he continues his own war on terror. His days with the Joes have no doubt instilled in him the drive to make sure Cobra does not gain a foothold on our soil and that freedom is defended at all costs.
"Yo Joe!!"

the gap was widened so that he could slip hot dogs in. You would be amazed how many seconds are wasted opening your mouth and chewing in a hot dog eating contest.
!product inspiration! The Fridge Pez Hot Dog dispenser!
Thats funny. That was my thought too.
Dispenser or Disposal? Either way, it will be in Bed Bath and Beyond by '09.
