Watching Home Alone for the first time in like 25 years, notice they Toy Machine monster is Buzz's light switch cover. This movie came out in 1990. Toy Machine started in 93. What's going on here?

Funny that both Jamie and Ed have now been accused of stealing their company's logos from 90's era children's movies.

Reckon they were smashing through Disney and Pixar classics whilst editing Welcome to Hell?

I can't remember where or when i saw it but Ed talks about this in a video interview. Said he found the switch cover at a garage sale/flea market and wanted it to be a toy graphic.

I think I liked it better when it was a mystery.

It was a light switch cover that Ed found and created a logo with. After it became their most recognized logo, the lady who created the covers then sent him a cease and desist and thats when the new monster was created around 96/97. Ed talks about it and more in this new zine I just did. If anyone has any weird/rare TM shit from the 90's, would love to include it. Check it out here

9. Metal Light-Switch Cover

I bought this in a shop in Santa Barbara back in 1991. It was over the switch in my apartment living room when I was looking for a new shirt-graphic idea for my new company, Toy Machine, in 1993. I did a crayon rubbing of it and made it into a shirt graphic, which somehow took off and later became our logo. I got a cease-and-desist letter from the lady who created it and had to change it into the logo we use now.

Humans work as a circuit, information being passed along through telepathic electrical energy, words are only vessels to transfer ideas from one brain to the next, there are no words without imagery, who are the master builders of these images, why are certain images chosen, Jamie Thomas is only a vessel of the builder Walt Disney, using skulls to spread death and destruction amongst the population of skateboarders, Ed Templeton is only a vessel of the builder John Hughes, spreading the fear of monsters, has the monster worked its way into eds soul, is exploitation of children on the pier and veganism to destroy the body merely a symptom of the monster, or is it simply the cause of why the monster was chosen to represent himself...
