\ ( ^_^ ) /
After judicious use of a filet knife (what...I couldn't find a flat head screwdriver small enough) and a set of small pliers, I have fixed my glasses to semi-regular usage. It's still the teensiest bit wonky but meh...it's fixed.
This is an ad from the Toys'R'us xmas catalogue.
I'm sure it's not just me, but I'm quite disturbed by the description for this toy. Honestly, I know some toys do have an element of violence to it, like the Mattel Naruto toys that got banned since the figures were able to simulate a stabbing motion with the kunai, but still encouraging sadism in a catalogue a bit much. What seems to be possibly stranger, is that the toy is primarily aimed at younger children, so it would be parents or those older who would read the actual ad in the catalogue.
I find myself curious as to whether anyone would actually buy it, and if any, how many bought it after reading the catalogue.
