Merry Chirstmas, kid

Stress and anxiety were some of the key components to these old school kids' toys.

Who amongst us has never played with Legos before? It's a universal experience. Legos are the absolute king of children's toys. In fact, they're probably the dominant franchise for recent age groups. Various well-crafted Lego video games, a slew of movies, the toys themselves, and even television shows! Lego saw the potential for its brand and hit it out of the park. That's not to say that Legos don't appeal to every age group , it's just that they're a well-run company for this current generat…

I think I know more about American Girl Dolls than you do, genius, and I really do mean that! I was an American Girl Doll stan as a child, and even though I haven't fully gotten to the adult doll collector stage of life, I wouldn't be surprised if I get there at some point. I spent many moons thumbing through the American Girl catalog as a kid, imagining what it would be like to have an ice cream bar for my doll for only $250!

Earlier this week, Universal came out with the trailer for their upcoming horror movie M3GAN , which follows a woman named Gemma who takes in her young n…

Who says that TikTok cannot be the arena for devastating psychosexual melodramas? Many haters have derided TikTok videos as vapid nonsense with no value whatsoever. The viral TikTok account Sylvanian Drama is all those things but is simultaneously one of the funniest series to hit the internet in a long time. Sylvanian Drama features various Sylvanian Families toys going through harrowing life experiences. They deal with eating disorders, alcoholism , bullying, sl*t shaming, fatphobia, murder,…

I never wanted to play with corn more in my life.

They're not so innocent

Starting 'em young

What happened to the days when Furbies were sweet innocent toys keeping lonely kids company? Now, they're evil cult leaders rallying TikTokers to the depths of the under world??

You can find a lot of weird crap on Amazon, including a knockoff Garfield toy called ‘Fat Orange Plush Cat Stuffed Animals Toy, Lifelike Yellow Tabby Cat Kitty Toy for Boys and Girls Children Xmas Birthday Gift.’ The toy advertised is a burned out and possibly alcoholic version of Garfield. If that wasn't cursed enough, Twitter user @PartyPat116 Oh my god my Roomie bought this knockoff Garfield plush off Amazon, and it came like this pic.twitter.com/Z5kK14JpOd — flashy girl from flushing (@Part…
