China vs Japan. The strangest toys in the world

Our memories of childhood are inextricably linked with toys. Looking at these objects, your thoughts involuntarily return to that serene time. When children buy a toy they like, they don’t let anyone near it for weeks.

Manufacturers produce toys for every taste, the main thing is to please the baby. But today, quite scary toys have been created for children that frighten more than entertain. It’s easier not to even figure out what they are giving to the child, but to immediately ban them.

Gun with Teddy bear. The Teddy bear is a fairly popular toy, and who among the boys would deny themselves the pleasure of shooting a gun. But this gun is intended exclusively for shooting with a soft toy. Usually people hunt bears, but hunting someone with bears is quite strange. A Japanese man invented such a toy. Just what can children learn by shooting bears with a gun? Oddly enough, this item is sold as a toy.

Dolls with amputated limbs. Manufacturers sometimes try to accustom children from childhood to the bitterness of adult life. So, dolls that have no legs have appeared on sale. Children aged 4 years are encouraged to learn more about amputees. The toy offers to attach prosthetics to the body of an unfortunate girl and provide her with crutches. People with such a problem really need help and sympathy, but is it necessary to involve children in this issue? After all, amputated limbs cannot be considered funny toys with which they should be treated.

Shaving a child.

And this toy is trying to prepare the child for adult life. The manufacturer considered it necessary to introduce the baby to shaving techniques. But who in their right mind would buy a hairy doll for a child? In addition, her vegetation is distributed throughout her body. And giving a child a sharp object for shaving is also quite dangerous. Monkey from Toy Story 3.

Children usually love monkeys. But this character from the famous Pixar cartoon turned out to be quite scary. The manufacturer's sense of humor failed. The monkey got big bulging eyes and an angry expression on his face. It’s scary to look at, let alone play. But she is a character from a famous cartoon, which determined her sales. And this character came from television. Meet "Dexter", a blood spatter specialist and part-time homicidal maniac. His figurine is made of high quality, but will such a toy be useful for children? Along with Dexter, the set includes a knife for cutting corpses and a glass for collecting a blood sample. What parent can reward their child with such entertainment? But if you remove the blood and the knife, the toy could become really popular, because the television series is so popular.

Food chain "Friends". Toys teach children to be friends. But is it really possible to talk about this in terms of the food chain? Is it possible to make friends with the one you eat and the one who eats you? The manufacturer of this toy believes this is possible. But such an idea of ​​​​friendship can give a child a wrong concept of life. The toy represents a chain of “friends” who eat each other.

Stripper pole. Do you want your little one to come ready for the fun of being a man? Buy him this toy. It is a pole for a stripper. There is even fake money to encourage the dancer. But the doll will have to be selected separately. Perhaps caring parents want to prepare their children in a financial crisis for such a profession?

Pregnant Barbie doll. Since its inception, the Barbie doll has become very popular. The manufacturer allowed her to master many professions, rewarded her with a house, a car and even a boyfriend. But this version of the world famous doll is more frightening than entertaining. The adults decided to make Barbie a mother. She was released pregnant, with a big belly. At the same time, a small baby is shown inside Barbie. And upside down too. But will 5-6 year old children like such a spectacle? But the set includes robes for the noticeably plump beauty. If other versions of Barbie really came out cool, then this time the manufacturer has outdone itself and even too much.

Pee and Poo.

This is what happens when creative ideas come into the world of children's toys. The characters named Pee and Poo were created by a master's degree in graphic design, Emma Maggitt. This toy is unlikely to allow one to learn how to design something beautiful. After all, who wants to play with the waste of their body? I wonder what the adults were thinking when they released such a brand? Are there any children who would like to have such “friends”?

Why do children love scary toys?

Adults have noticed more than once that children enjoy playing with scary toys. For them, they sometimes become the most beloved. Psychologists believe that with the help of scary toys, a child can play out negative emotions, overcome his fears, and throw out aggression.

It is known that monster toys have existed at all times among different peoples. They were depicted as evil fairy-tale and mythical characters. In Rus', children made wolves, bears, Leshy, Snake-Gorynych, etc. from clay. Such toys were devoid of detailed parts, thanks to which the child’s imagination developed. During the game, the kid came up with almost everything himself, and the toy was only a symbol of a scary character.

Classic scary toys include Baba Yaga, Snake Gorynych, and the wolf. With modern scary toys the situation is more complicated, because parents need more knowledge to choose them. Modern monsters are detailed, they can easily be mistaken for living ones. On store shelves we see robots, huge insects, monsters, and wild animals. Such toys are not particularly useful for children. In addition, they confuse the child with their technology and versatility. Basically, modern toys are all aggressive, both positive and negative characters.

Top scariest toys

Many toys no longer serve their purpose. They are not healthy or necessary for children. We are talking about scary toys that can harm a child’s psyche and negatively affect the formation of his character.

In order not to harm the child, according to experts, one should abandon various types of shooting toys (machine guns and pistols), which make children aggressive, as well as games such as Darts. It is from Darts that the largest number of children have suffered; even deaths have been reported.

The list of the most dangerous toys for our children includes numerous obscene toys. It’s simply amazing what the manufacturers were thinking about and what goal they were pursuing when they released a vibrating broom, a doll dancing on a pole, a smoking doll gnome or a toy Hitler. It is known about the existence of soldiers who have a machine gun instead of a causal place. It is surprising not only that such terrible toys appear on the market, but also that someone buys these monsters for their children, without thinking about what effect this game or toy will have on the child’s psyche that has not yet formed.

A saddle for a person has gone on sale. This is a toy with a 5+ rating. The packaging depicts the father on all fours, wearing such a saddle. I wonder what she can teach the baby?

Toys with scary faces

There are many toys that manufacturers have “awarded” with terrifying and even frightening grimaces. Particularly susceptible children are afraid to sleep in the same room with them, they are afraid to even be close to them. Thus, it can be argued that these children are in a constant stressful situation.

Toys with scary faces and monster toys should serve as visual aids of what children's toys should not be. Are they capable of causing positive emotions in children? An example of such a scary toy is Cheburashka zombie. He is released with different grimaces that cannot be called cute. We also know about a two-headed monster tearing off the head of a teddy bear.

Toys that disgust you

Among the children's toys that stores offer to purchase, you can find truly terrifying toys that can cause disgust even in an adult. For example, a child is asked to play with toy poop and urine. There is a young troll doll, covered in sensitive places (and not only) with thick red hair. The child is asked to shave it.

No less disgusting is a toy in the shape of a pregnant baby in a diaper. What is also amazing is that the fetus itself, located in his stomach, is also pregnant. There is a game where a child is asked to play as a cat that has been run over by a car, because of which its ribs are already rotting, and its intestines have fallen out of its stomach and lie nearby.

The most terrible dolls

Manufacturers have not forgotten about monster dolls. Many of them are produced in small batches or to order. In 1959, a Maribel doll appeared in America, which came with a plaster, plaster casts, bandages and crutches. She was also called the recovering doll. In 1972, a doll released by Mattel went on sale. She has slanted eyes and a distorted face. By moving it with your left hand, you can see how the doll makes faces. Monster dolls are popular now

Twilight dolls have become very popular lately. They are purchased mostly by those who are fans of the saga of the same name. A vampire child doll costs at least six hundred and fifty dollars. She has vampire eyes and fangs protruding from her mouth.

According to the site, scary ones are among the top most popular dolls, but the leader there is another toy.

Each of us, being already an adult, fully formed person, perfectly remembers passages from distant childhood, when he was very good, cheerful and carefree. We can also remember our favorite toys or games. They are definitely associated with something wonderful, when you were looking forward to this gift from your parents, as if on the eve of a holiday.

In the world of modern technology, it is very difficult to choose a good toy for a child that will not clutter his head with all sorts of nonsense. As a rule, children want a tablet, a computer or a cool modern phone. Let's figure out what's so unusual about surprising a child?

Tuttuki Bako.

An extremely strange but fun Japanese toy. Before us is a small electronic mod with a black and white screen on which the character appears. There is a hole for a finger on the side. The whole point of the game is that the child can influence the character (person, bird, etc.) with his own finger by inserting it into the hole of the electronic mod. Not all children are delighted with “Tuttuki Bako”; this toy is rather an acquired taste. However, the toy is very popular in Japan because... The creators of Tamagotchi took part in its development.

A very nice toy for little children. The “branches” of the toy rotate and transform into a full-fledged tree. At first glance, the toy is very simple and looks more like a piece of furniture, but it will help a small child develop their imagination and just play, just like with a rattle. “Playable Art Helicone” costs quite a bit of money and is affordable for almost everyone.

Lego "Concentration Camp".

Although the product quality is good, this toy is beyond the scope of normal human thinking. It is not entirely clear what motivated the Polish artist Zbigniew Libera when creating this toy, but it becomes obvious that not all is well with his ideology. Created in 1996, the game became a product of evil with an admixture of Nazism, and the strangest thing is that this “exhibit” was purchased by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Poland for a lot of money. What then do the bodies of international law do?

Hexbug "Insects".

The company produces various microrobots in the guise of beetles, cockroaches, spiders and other insects. The culture of robotic insects began its journey in 1989. Now insects from Hexbug are able to respond to all external factors, from sound to light. These smart creatures behave like insects of nature. They scatter to the sides at the sight of danger or, on the contrary, gather in a heap. Microrobots are also capable of racing on special platforms and tracks. Most likely, the company's products will interest children with their unusual but fascinating appearance and built-in intelligence.

Ozobot is a very interesting toy for your child. It will help your child develop skills in managing basic electronics and software. Glowing mini-robots move along drawn lines, which gives the child the opportunity to dream up and come up with various labyrinths for this character. The child’s thinking will develop much faster, logic will begin to progress and strengthen.

Barbie "Obesity"

I don’t think it’s worth dwelling on this toy for a long time, however, it’s worth noting its stupidity and pointlessness. Is Barbie really trying to convey the maximum amount of life realism to little girls? This toy should be released under the title “It Happens” or “Barbie Isn’t the Same.”

Nerf N-Strike Elite Demolisher 2.

The new product from the Nerf company made all the boys tremble with joy and study diligently in order to receive a long-awaited gift from their parents. “Nerf N-Strike Elite Demolisher 2” is not just a machine gun on bullets, but a real combat installation for little “Rambos”. This toy weapon is capable of firing small projectiles at a distance of up to 28 meters. There is also a new enhancement - a combat grenade launcher with large projectiles that fly 5-6 meters using a built-in air pump. The presence of optical slats will allow you to optimize the sight for comfortable shooting.

Hexbug Aquabot 2.

An aquarium complete with a robot fish will bring a lot of excitement to your child. There are several types of such fish that you can choose according to your taste. A live aquarium is a big responsibility, especially for a child. Hexbug fish do not require feeding or special care, because... models are created for fun. The fish are able to glow in the dark and have a programmed response to sounds. A few minutes of the fish’s wakefulness ends with the fish going into sleep mode, but as soon as you knock on the aquarium or shout, the fish comes to life again. Your child will be able to play with nano fish at any time.

The question is, why are children now so..."unusual"?

Japanese cyber animals. Something like the infamous Tamagotchi that made the world go crazy in the second half of the nineties. But "rocobo" are very emotional animals - they react to the intonation of the owner's voice. If the owner covers them with Japanese profanity, the faces on the LCD screens wrinkle; if he praises them, on the contrary, they break into a smile. Kannichi Ryotsu is a character in Japanese humorous series and manga comics. A slightly dull and slightly frostbitten policeman. And what stupid, frostbitten Japanese policeman can do without his own Tamagotchi?
Purely Japanese gadget. It connects to the computer via a USB port and winks at the owner every time the owner presses the H key on the keyboard. What is the point in this in general and the Japanese flavor in particular? It's simple - the Japanese use the letter H to shorten the concept of ecchi (aka "hentai", aka just Japanese porn). So this little guy winks at his owner - I see what you're doing there, you old pervert.
If you have an extra two hundred dollars, then in Japan you can order a doll in the shape of... yourself. You can just look at yourself, you can play with yourself. But voodoo rituals don’t seem to be practiced in Japan.
Tolerance and political correctness should be in everything. Children's toys are no exception. Meet the transvestite doll.

What is natural is not ugly. So it is quite possible for children to play with urine and poop. The characters of “South Park” became friends with Mr. Shit, worse than your child.
All parents in all countries of the world teach their children to use the toilet. But Japanese parents have an assistant - the toilet tiger cub Shimajiro. It exists not only in the form of a toy; cartoons are also dedicated to it, capable of causing hysterics in those who live outside the Land of the Rising Sun.
This miniature golf club is sold in children's toy departments in some countries. Although it belongs in stores of completely different goods. Japanese children love to play with a doll depicting the President of the United States - Pearl Harbor is a thing of the past, Japan and America are now friends. But in Japan, even the toy American president takes on a Japanese flavor.
And this is the creation of Japanese designer Yoskay Yamamoto. The name of this toy can be translated as “fish out of water.” Apparently, leaving the water did not have the best effect on the appearance of the unfortunate fish.
One of the most cruel toys that I have ever seen in my entire life is a snow-white children's cap with bloody stains on the top of its head and a far from toy ax sticking out of it. This is a kind of entertainment for bloodthirsty children. By the way, for those for whom an ax is just light fun, we offer the option of a hat with a dummy of a disgusting caterpillar, which, literally tearing apart the child’s brain and the hat itself, crawls out in the area of ​​the crown. In general, the spectacle is not for the faint of heart. First you need to stick one of your fingers into this thing. Then you need to move your finger. The movements of your finger are tracked by a special sensor, digitized and displayed on the LCD screen. This thing has several games built in - you can mock a little man, a panda, or poke your fingers in a little girl's face. This is such an unusual, purely Japanese entertainment.
Today only the Japanese can become the owner of a plush herpes. Obviously, only in the inflamed consciousness of the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun could such a strange association between children's toys and biological atavisms be born. Beatle bears. The inspiration for Chinese manufacturers appears to have been psychotropic drugs and the cover of Sergeant Pepper.
Standing hamster. Radiation destroyed people, and it also made hamsters grow to such sizes. The same manufacturers offer everyone a life-size collapsible plush camel.
Every little girl, as we know, dreams of becoming a stripper when she grows up. In the meantime, you can play with a small folding stripper pole. In Japan, there may be no cockroaches left - the faithful life companions of many Russians. So they have to release these robotic cockroaches. Japanese cyber cockroaches are smart creatures. They are equipped with sensors that allow them to avoid obstacles and run away when they hear loud sounds.
Giving small children, especially girls, something that sticks, sorry, between their legs and, sorry again, vibrates is not the best idea. The authors of a toy called Harry Potter Vibrating Broom have a different opinion. They think they just made a cool copy of the broom that witches fly on. A taser, also known as a stun gun, is a common police tool in most countries of the world. The authors of a toy gadget called Police Electric Baton Shock apparently reasoned as follows - since children love to play policemen and bandits, then such a thing will definitely not bother them. Fortunately, it does not give an electric shock, but if you do not calculate the force of the blow, you can leave quite good bruises on the ribs. Just $3.50.
Buzz Lightning, the hero of the popular cartoon "Toy Story", a brave space ranger and a devoted friend of all children, suddenly appears before us in an unexpected light. From a technical point of view, this is just an attachment for a Coca-Cola glass. But the location of the drinking straw, in our opinion, is not entirely successful. Keep in mind that if your child drinks from such a glass, people will look at him strangely, point and laugh, as if they were in a Comedy Club or on a program with Petrosyan. If you're a fan of the movie "The Deer Hunter" with De Niro or just a big fan of Russian roulette, you can play this game with your offspring without much harm to your health. The only difference between this gadget and a real revolver is that it will not make a hole in your head, but will only give it a good click with a plastic piston.
If your children are pestering you with requests to “get a puppy,” buy them this little animal called Peeing Dog first. It's not that pleasant to iron because it's made of smooth plastic. He also cannot bark or wag his tail. But he can do one thing and does it very well and very often. He's peeing. Not dog urine, but ordinary water, but this is often enough for your children to change their minds and start wanting something simpler - for example, an aquarium with fish. The Playmobile Security Checkpoint kit will help you prepare for a career as a security guard at a major airport. True, it costs a lot - 175 dollars. Consider this an investment in your son's future.
This plastic replica of a breastfeeding baby can not only “ask for a boob,” but also imitate the process of sucking it. It gets by just fine with the included rubber nipple, but it still prefers live flesh. If the sight of your own five-year-old daughter, who has such a cybernetic leech attached to her breast, does not drive you into a stupor, get ready to part with $118.
Drop a handful of this wonderful powder into a bathtub filled with water and the contents will turn a deep blue color and turn into a gel. Liquid enough to splash around in, but at the same time thick enough to smear yourself with like healing mud. But that’s not all - as soon as you add another powder (supplied in the kit) to the resulting gel, the bath will return to normal water. These keychains seem to be aimed at Japanese vegetarians. With the help of these gizmos, you can study in detail the anatomical structure of animals and fish, which are eaten by bloodthirsty lovers of stew, sausage and canned fish. The only thing that stands out from this lineup is the keychain in the shape of a skinned panda - these bears, as far as I know, are not eaten in the East. But maybe such a keychain was made specifically to annoy the Chinese - Japan has had very strained relations with China since the thirties of the twentieth century.

Hand on heart, we must admit that the greatest thing that shines in this life for the children of poor people from the black neighborhoods of New York is the position of a janitor in a large skyscraper. So why not accustom them to this position from childhood? The Cleaning Trolley Kit includes everything you need, from a trolley and mops to aerosol cans. This pig's head is made of a very flexible and malleable material. The pork can be rolled into a pancake, but then it will still take its original shape.
If this puppet doll did not have legs, vulgar thoughts would not arise when looking at it. Why does a clown need a syringe? Do not know. Ask the manufacturers. But such a clown belongs in low-budget horror films. The sooner a child learns to cut fish, the better.
And this doll can become the best friend not only of your child, but also of your cat. This toy toilet shoots you know what.
This gun is much more harmless - it shoots teddy bears.
Yes, there are such toys. It's just a sled, and not at all what you think. You need to hold on to the thing in the center while going down a steep hill.
In fact, she’s the same Barbie, only not with a slender waist, but with a big belly. In which there is a small plastic baby. At any time, you can perform a “birth” and end up with a mother with a baby. The cost of the set is $100. Barbie for future drug addicts.
Obese Barbie.
Barbie zombie.
Barbie with anorexia. This is, if a child likes to play in a cemetery, probably...
The following are just pictures without description.

A distinctive feature of these new products is modern interactivity.

TOP – 10 best toys of 2014 according to Americans
