Really bad funny ugly toys

February 4, 2008 10:59 AM

Anyone know of any toy websites that sell really ugly toys? (Other than Archie McPhee) I'm talking toys that are unintentionally bad, sooo bad they're funny. (The same way that really bad movies are funny). Toys that make you go "WTF???"

I'd suggest just browsing your local Toys R Us, Wal-mart, K-mart, zellers, dollar store, etc and pickup what seems bad to you...

I think any review site that features the Oozinator or questionably phallic Dora the Explorer toys will get you in the right direction.

Baron Bob sells some real crap a la Archie Mcphee.

I also like American Science and Surplus for some real esoteric gift items.

And try American Entertainment for some truly geeky stuff.

If you want something truly horrific I think a road trip to a China Town of a major city is in order.

Isn't that what The Dollar Tree is for?

We've also seen truly horrific things at Toys R Us as well, but Chinatown and dollar stores are predictably hideous.

J-List sells some things that are in amazingly bad taste. All the following links are NSFW:

The Poop Pointer
The Oppai Ball
The Oppai mouse pad
Hip Parade

Thanks for Fustar, DB. Those are effing great! The trouble is finding out where to buy it. I'd love to get that Mexican Darth Vader doll.

Fústar is himself rather effing great, so I'm glad you're getting a kick out of the site.
