At www.MyFavToys.com, the Benders by Hog Wild Toys are a really big deal.  We've got ‘em, and at 10-15% off regular retail!

Perhaps you are already a Bender zealot, and know the story of how bartender-turned designer Steve Walterscheid developed the first wire, magnetic character who eventually became the original Joe Bender.  Well, Joe has come a long way since then.  From sports-themed Benders, to Cheerleaders, Pirates,  Action Heroes, Monsters, Space Benders, and on and on... the Benders are threatening to take over the world (or at least our My Favorite Toys store at University Mall in Carbondale, IL), as well as our online store, www.MyFavToys.com!

So just how does one describe a Bender figurine?  Well, like other beauties, a Bender's socially-redeeming qualities are in the eye of the beholder.  Some, including the inventor (artist?), Steve, consider characters such as the Wild West Benders or Mountain Bike Joe, to be sculpture.  In fact, a couple of our favorite Benders, Vincent Van Joe and Mona Bender, are themselves artists, with their own easels and pallets.

But Benders are so much more.  With their handsome plastic coating, you can pose and bend (get it, you can bend benders...by golly, we think that's where they got their name!) any Bender to come alive with possibilities.  The Climbing Wall Bender can climb and hold onto his tin wall. The Bikini Benders --- Ruby, Carmen, Britney, and Lucy --- lounge on their wire hammocks, worshipping the sun.  The Blues Benders --- Wet Willie the guitarist, Sticks on drums, Blind Betty on keyboard, and Otis on sax --- will rock your soul.  As you will see when you peruse the entire line of Benders on the www.MyFavToys.com website or at our My Favorite Toys bricks and mortar store, these Bender guys and gals know no boundaries.  Well, almost no boundaries.  It is possible to bend a Bender in rapid succession so much that they break a limb.  That's why we recommend Bender fun for humans over eight years-old.

Of course, any self-respecting Bender-crazed person knows that even the Bender packaging serves a purpose.  Most Benders come in their own tin --- it's where they sleep when they're not hard at work or play.

Bender collectors have quite a network.  Through the Hog Wild Toys website you can find the Benders Times, a separate site featuring everything you possibly want to know about Benders.

You can join the Benders Club, and sell, buy or swap Benders.   There's lots of other real cool stuff there.

Just remember that your best site for Benders is www.MyFavToys.com, where we always sell Benders for prices that are 10-15% less than even the Hog Wild Toys site.

So whether you are a beginning Bender buyer or a long-time aficionado, come visit www.MyFavToys.com often for the Benders of your dreams!
