Plungerman

Smile, you're on camera. Known for his fearless energy and twin plungers, Plungerman charges into battle with unmatched intensity. "Do you know what a roller pigeon is, Cathy? They climb high and fast, then roll over and plunge just as fast toward the earth. There are shallow plungers and deep plungers. You can't breed two deep plungers, or their young will plunge all the way down, hit, and die. Dave is a deep plunger, Cathy; let us hope one of his parents was not." Plungerman is, after the toilets themselves, sort of the "face" of Skibidi Toilet (which is ironic, considering he doesn't have one). He's the one who became a Fortnite skin, after all... though that may have more to do with him being the only one to have a distinctive weapon. The first resistance faction introduced in the series, Cameramen initially appeared in Episode 8 (though retconned into later "fullscreen" versions of earlier episodes). The idea of "guy in a business suit with a surveilance camera for a head" isn't exactly the most groundbreaking idea - it's like something Banksy would come up with - and even this series' creator had already used it years earlier in a music video he directed. While the normal Cameramen (including the one who's also in this first series of toys) have white heads, Plungerman's is black. It's the same CCTV security camera model, but the color is one of the things that helps set him apart. The Cameramen are dapper dressers, with their rank-and-file wearing suits, shirt and tie, a long overcoat, and black gloves. Plungerman gets the same uniform, just in his more unique colors. It's hard to make out details on the sculpt on a toy as dark as this, but (other than the hands) he's using the same molds as the Cameraman figure, and that has nice, subtle wrinkles around the buttons on his jacket, folded seams for the pockets on his outer coat, laces on his shoes, and generally good proportions overall. You could mix this body in with the various suit-wearing Marvel Legends and it wouldn't look noticeably out of place. In his first appearances, Plungerman was wearing a grey suit, black shirt, and red tie. Or rather, a Cameraman model with a grey suit, black shirt, and red tie appeared, and then subsequently became a named character when he started to do stuff. His model was later changed to have a black tie, but unfortunately, this toy doesn't do either of those: he's been given a black suit and a grey shirt and tie, which is, alas, backwards. The regular Cameraman toy gets a lighter suit, white shirt, and black tie, so all we can assume is that giving Plungerman accessories blew the budget, and they had to "Snake-Eyes" him to offset it. When we say he "started to do stuff," it's worth noting it was a lot of off-screen stuff. Like, we'd see him facing off with enemies in a badass pose, but we never really saw him do anything, because the scene would always end or cut away before he could show off. Still, the toy moves really well, with swivel/​hinge ankles, double-hinged knees, swivel thighs, balljoint hips, a balljoint chest, swivel/​hinge wrists, double-hinged elbows, swivel biceps, swivel/​hinge shoulders, and a balljointed head. Considering these are the first action figures made by Bonkers Toys, that's great work, even if some of them are a little looser or wobblier than you'd regularly see. If you are planning to use this as a base for a custom figure, know that the head works by having the balljoint go down into the neck, instead of up into the head, so that whole area would need some work to make it compatible. Naturally, Plungerman comes with his plungers. They were, at the outset, just normal cup plungers, the kind that you see all the time in cartoons (despite the fact those are better for sinks or tubs rather than toilets). He later upgraded them to spiked versions when he found those insufficent for more advanced Toilets, though this toy sticks with the Mark 1 models. They're molded from very stiff ABS plastic, so the won't flex at all like real plungers would, and the cup on them is thin enough that light shines through easily (though that may not be an intentional decision). The handles are painted gold rather than anything wooden. While the regular Cameraman toy has relaxed hands, Plungerman gets ones shaped to hold the weapons. Unfortunately, there's no way to stow them on his back when he's not holding them. I was impressed enough by TV Woman to give one of the boys a try, and am pleased to report that they're of the same general quality: not top-of-the-line, but above average. The only thing we'd want to change would be having Plungerman wearing his proper colors, so it was more than just his accessories that marked him as who he is. -- 08/13/25 What's your favorite bathroom utensil?
