What kind of name is Wreck-Gar anyway?? Wreck what? Didn't we do this in the poll thread? It's a bit of a play on words. Wreck-Gar/Wrecker |

The only good Wreck-Gar toy is Curry-Gar. What kind of name is Wreck-Gar anyway?? Wreck what? What's a Gar? I can't believe I'm hearing this question. What sort of a He-Man fan are you?! |

I thought it was just a shortening of Wreckage and Garbage, for whatever reason.

That would make more sense than Phil's madness.

Exactly. "Wreck" is shortned from Wreckage, while "Gar" is shortened from Garbage I never thought of that! It makes sense now. I also had to be told that Kup was short for PicKUP truck. (And I suppose Nosecone is short for Picknose Coneage.) Edit: Corrected 'hort' to 'short'. Martin |

I thought it was just a shortening of Wreckage and Garbage, for whatever reason. Huh. I never actually considered that second part, either. I guess they should've renamed him to Wreck-Rub for the UK. Although I will concede that I also don't disagree with Phil's original point either - it is both that portmanteau, and also a word that *could* be pronounced "wreckAR", so I think it works from both points of view. |

The three SS86 Junkions together. Perfect.  |
