Other recalled toys/inventions

Monster Morpher 1.0- the original Monster Morpher toy, just like the original it had ALL of those available monster forms plus a few others including the Alien and Predator from Alien VS Predator, it worked just like the original, however something went wrong and the transformations into said monster form of choice were too scary, painful and traumatic- it got recalled after a friend of ours tested it out and underwent a painful transformation into Manbat from Batman. When we made the second one we toned all of the transformation sequences down so they wouldn't traumatise the user.
Marvin the Mushabelly Mutant- this was a rather freaky mushabelly space mutant that you could attach different parts to, made a vampire-like hisssing sound when you squeezed it's tummy, got recalled after one of it's extra heads started sprouting spider-like legs and walked away like in John Carpenter's the Thing.
Dead Ted the scare bear- the first ever Scare Bear, Dead Ted was a grey and black scare bear that looked kind of like one of the undead, had one eye that had popped out of it's socket, vampire-like fangs, claws, and various scars and bruises. Got recalled after it came to life and went on a zombie style rampage.
Magic Mirror Love Tester- this toy was a mirror, you press a button and it tells you how well your love life is on a scale from Lovelorn Loser to Absolute Dreamboat. Got recalled after one of them caused a couple to break up on valentine's day.
Jerkass Ladybug- one of the Not-So-Nice Ladybugs range of toys, this one often said rude and hurtful insults when you squeezed his hand. Got recalled after a friend of our dad's brought it into work and the toy insulted the poor guy's boss, the boss got so mad that he fired him for it.
Exploding Bob- this fun toy was one that exploded whenever you pressed a button on his platform. He was a little space alien dressed in a daredevil type costume. Got recalled after the toy got set on fire.
Little Jay 1-0 - the original Jay Leno Playtime Friend, was just like the one we have now except for one small problem- it was evil. It kept staring at us with glowing red eyes and asking us to be it's friends, we had it recalled after it turned me into an evil wereleno as a result of me not agreeing to play with it.

  1. I've got Exploding Bob. He hasn't caught on fire yet, and I've had him for 12 explosively fun years.
