On 'Crash Test Dummies' (The Toys)

Has anyone ever seen those crash test dummies action
figures? They have a button on their chest that causes the
figure's limbs and head to detach and fly off in all
directions. You can buy a car that you load them into so
that you can ram them into a wall and watch the body parts
go flying.

Now i know the intended message these toys are trying to
communicate to children is that of traffic safety but the
real entertainment is derived from seeing the toys 'die'
terribly.

yeah, my little brother had those... the parts would get
lost right away under furniture and you'd be left with a guy
missing an arm. and that's like 1/6 less fun to play with.
they should put a warning on them, "not for use on
non-carpeted areas".

That's a brilliant toy! I think kids are better off with
those than some of the other shit that's made today. Sure,
the real fun is to see the mangling and death, but I do not
doubt that it can affect the kids to become more focused on
safety, later on in life.

I'm still waiting for the transformers to come, cause I know
I'll be on the Autobots team (what I learned from my
childhood toys)
