Frankentoys

[hot564231]

According to 5 year old Sammy, this mutant toy is called Mr. Ugly Head and he chokes people. At Happen’s Toy Lab in Cincinatti, Ohio, children create their own toys from recycled toy parts. The non-profit program encourages kids and adults to share in the joys of artistic creation. In one hour workshops “trained toy technicians, skilled in the art of toy assembly” assist participants to realize their creations. Every toy created is photographed and posted in the Toy Zoo on the Toy Lab website along with a description of its function or special attributes. I really love this idea and if I was anywhere near Cincinatti I’d borrow a kid or two so I could take part.

I love things like this, some of the toys on the site are quite original and some are boring, children have creative minds.

That's wrong. Wrong. I won't stand for this butchery -- this outrageous atrocity -- and I would remind you all, and little Sammy, what happened to the last child to play Dr. Frankenstein.

That's right. I'm talking to YOU,
Sid Phillips. We don't like being
blown up, Sid, or smashed, or
ripped apart...

From now on, you must take good
care of your toys. Because if you
don't, we'll find out, Sid. We
toys can see...

...everything.

Remember that.
