OK, I’ve had some weird collectibles (no, honestly) but i have to say this is the daddy…
The Wicked Witch had a grizzly end in The Wizard of Oz and now you can own here severed leg… with a lampshade on it. Lovely.
Seriously though, it is a nice looking item. NECA wins the prize for the oddest piece of the day though…
From the site:
There’s no place like home — especially if you have one of these whimsical lamps from the beloved classic film The Wizard of Oz!
The Wicked Witch of the East‘s leg looks just as it did sticking out from under Dorothy‘s house, right down to the ruby slipper. Comes with a full-size shade shaped like a witch’s hat! Both the leg base and the lamp light up, adding a magical glow to any room.
Including the shade, it stands 20″ high x 11″ wide and has a 5-foot cord. Main light uses one 40-watt bulb (not included) and leg light uses one 5-watt type C bulb (included).

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
