yes, there is such thing as 'the turds' they are these fantastic collectable. hundreds of people share my enthusiasm to collect them, because they just make you laugh when you see the names, and designs. they are quite cheap for the quality. here are a few of the names: shatman, hannibal lecturd, smellboy, holy sh*t and about 60 more, with a lot more soon to be released. anyone else on here collect them or have any interest in them?

Yes, I collect The Turds too and you are right, they are a fantastic collectable to own. They are made of polyresin and so are quite durable. Obviously they are not for everyone but I think it is hard to be offended by them because the designs have a unique charm to them, making them very likeable.
Some figurines can be quite rare too, with a staggering collectors value of up to 250 pounds, or more.
They are definately worth checking out, and who knows you might fall in love with The Turds and become a stool collector yourself.

yeah some of the values of them are amazing, and will rise in the future. really you need to have a good sense of humour, mainly toilet humour. i currently have 48 of them, with a few in the post, and as long as they are still being made i will still be collecting.

I don't collect them for the value (although I have a few that are worth a bit), I collect them because they are good fun, and something different...and different is always good.

I did wonder if someone would have started a thread based on Pacemaker UK's The Turds or if I would have to add it!
I promote The Turds for Pacemaker UK and I have every model that has been released officially to date as well as a few special bits and bobs too...I think these are brilliant and when I'm feeling down they always make me smile.
I know some people will think these models are offensive, but before they judge they should go to the official site (http://www.theturds.com) and see what they are like first. I have seen you and old alike see these and think they are superb...seems like toilet humour is a winner all round!
