The Toy Fair's Top 10 Strangest Products

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the log-log-it's-heavy-it's-solid-it's-wood dept.

FloggingMollyrox writes "UGO looks at the recent 2004 Toy Fair's Top 10 Strangest Products. Forget about Lord of the Rings and Spider-Man, the real stuff was an art farm that grows vegetables, a pogo stick that shoots you over the moon, 'real' shrunken heads, and an educational plush toy based on an alien invasion."

When something sucks up 90% of an Athlon-2400, it's just evil. Because of that, Ugo, mediamgr.ugo.com went very quickly into the list of domains that my Squid proxy blocks. It was just intolerable.
