Creepy Gift?
My lovely niece Kaylin turned four last week, and this is the gift I sent her from an educational Irish toy company. I think this is the kind of toy that if I had it when I was four, I would never forget its creepy weirdnesss.
The most morbidly fascinating part is when you get right down to the skeleton; The figure is cartoony and big-headed, but you don't often see a cartoony big-headed skeleton, so it's extra wrong. It reminds me of the work of Michael Paulus.
Anyway, I hope Kaylin is mesmerized by this, always remembers it, and attempts to describe it to her appalled friends in 20 years.



this is AMAZING!
my 7 yr old niece would really dig this.
i know she'd be fascinated w/ it!
