![]() ![]() ![]() What frustrated me the most, with people who unboxed dozens of them especially, was the insistence to produce the slime according to instructions, even after complaining many times how messy it was and how the slime was backed up to rot inside the head. I confess that I was familiar with the poopsie ones from YouTube, where I got my lame fix of toys during your hyatus. For a topic like this, you don't want to be #2! Well, it was your duty to review this segment of toys. (Poop-off?) (Nice touch with the dog drinking out of the toilet bowl.) Reply Delete It's no surprise to me that she won the toy face-off. Plus, the outfit and the dog accessories all look nice and well-made. Of all of these, the only one I don't find disturbing is the dog, because I can easily imagine a child getting this set and pretending to have a real dog, and maybe learning that once they do get a real pet, they'll have to clean up after it, as well as feed it, walk it, and play with it. I had forgotten about Magic Sand up til now that was a pretty fun toy. I am so disturbed by Shelbert's poop yodelling. I'll confess I laughed pretty hard at that. I hope you're pleased with yourself.) man, but the dog. I also repeated aloud to myself, under my breath, various variations on "eMission accomplished? LOL (there was also a lot of facepalming at the myriad and terrible puns. Remember your "what were they thinking?" post many many long ages ago? I thought that phrase several times during this review. Y'know, I wouldn't have even thought about whether the pacifier would fit in the heart-shaped hole if you hadn't drawn my attention to its *ahem* suggestive shape. And I definitely got my money's worth of fun, at least from that first one. And those Sparkly Critters, even though they can't be reused, smell bad, and have a poop feature that isn't reliable, they're the cheapest of the bunch by far. I really wanted to give Gotta Go Turdle a higher place, too, because he's so cute and is a better-designed toy than the Sparkly Critters, but I'm not sure he has the staying power to be worth $30. However, the toy is not worth the current nearly $40 price, so they fall to third. The Pooparoos would have been in second place, mostly because the toilet is excellent (and could be used for a lot of different games) and because the figures can be used again and again. Also, the set comes with a doll, a nice outfit, and several really great accessories. And even though Tanner was the most expensive by quite a lot, she wins this category because she's the toy that I'm most likely to keep (Lina has bonded with her). I have to take into consideration the prices that I paid for each of these toys, not just their original retail value. This is a Pooparoo Surpriseroo by Mattel, and I think they first came out back in 2018: The first toy I'm going to show you lured me in with its brightly-colored toilet. So, I scooped up what I thought were four of the best poop-themed toys I could find, and here we are. You know me, once I've latched onto a theme of any kind, it's hard to stop. While researching the Cutie Tooties, I found a surprising number of other poop-themed toys.and I remembered the Sparkly Critter that was sitting in my Amazon cart. Then, two months later when I was doing the Mischa's Toy Jewels post, I discovered the Cutie Tooties, which come inside poop-shaped containers. We giggled over those for a bit and I threw one in my cart, but didn't actually buy it right away. These little rascals exude colorful slime from various orifices and look like this: The first thing that happened is that my friend Katrina (bad influence) sent me a link to a Poopsie toy called Sparkly Critters. But for anyone who stuck around, let me take a second to explain how this, uh, special review came about. I probably lost a few readers with that intro, wouldn't you say? Sorry-I couldn't help myself. But on the other hand, why muck about with a long, constipated introduction when I could just let 'er rip? Expelling words is the whole point of a blog, after all. ![]() And I don't want to soil my reputation by pinching off my prose or plopping down any old thing. That would eliminate all of the suspense and waste this valuable writing space. ![]() How does one introduce a review about poop-themed toys?
