When I was growing up, things were certainly different. What was considered “risqué” is now commonplace. It’s sad but true.
Nowadays, toys are nearly living nightmares. I am glad some of these were not around when I was growing up – makes me think twice about what I give my kids for sure! Take a look…
Babies giving birth to babies!
We won’t even get into the thought of how a baby got pregnant…what act would be necessary AND what part of health class they forgot (try the pituitary gland). Bad idea all around.
The Fuhrer – really?
(no comment)
Skipper gets boobs
To Matte’s credit, Skipper was always flat as a board. And then Barbie had a super huge bust – there was no in between. The alarming part here is that one can “Make her grow from a young girl to a teenager in seconds!” and she’s “twice as much fun.” The false timeline for boob growth and implication that only with boobs is someone fun is not a good plan.
Pole Dancing Doll
Well there’s always something to aspire to!
Stripper Pole with Video
Would love to see what messages they are including in the DVD…unbelievable.
Flasher Doll
It may be a tad too early for this…
Barbie gets pregnant
Interesting concept but might bring adult topics up too early in life.
Uh…no
So the diaper fits both the baby and the monkey…hmmm
Oreo Barbie
Is there a Nilla Wafer Barbie too? How about Cheez-It Barbie or Red Hot Barbie?
Hmmm…
Couldn’t come up with a different shape?
Penis Gummy-things
Great for a bachelorette party – not for my kids! Hello?
The Avenging Narwhal?
And what is he avenging? How could a sea creature have anything to avenge on land (koala?)? Narwhals also hang out in the north pole area – Greenland, Russia, etc. Last I checked, penguins dwell mostly in Antarctica (far South America, South Africa and Galapagos Islands excluded).
The Water Weenie
So it’s basically a super condom?
Wolverine
Nice placement.
The Punisher
Rapist/Super Hero? It’s a confusing message.
Oh Pooh!
Not you too!
Lego Prison Camp
Now where was that Hitler doll?
The Face Bank
If banks only had faces!! Creepy!
Mouse/Demon Doll
Strange…
Jolly Chimp?
Eyes bulge, teeth flash – yikes!
Mr. Buttons
Looks weird – like he’s gonna steal your teeth!
Ah, umm…
Nope.
Ewoks gone bad?
We’re not sure what these are – but there’s a bone sticking out and faces are melting. Next!
Oh great – ET’s “finger”
And it lights up! Looks like another type of “toy” for folks much older than 4.
