Welcome

I've just started this brand new blog September 22 2014 as a comprehensive list of toys that are either dangerous or disturbing. Consider it a safety warning to take these toys away from your Children, or just be ghoulish and read through to see how you could have injured yourself mentally or physically as a Child. Please be patient as I add entries, this will be ongoing. Thanks so much for coming by!

The Birds Barbie


What Is It?

Barbie made a doll of Tippi Hedren's character Melanie from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds.

What Happened?

Well having children play with a Barbie that features birds pecking at her (she doesn't look very afraid though) was rather controversial.  This does say PG-13 I believe on the doll, but let's face it...Kids see Barbie...Kids want to play with Barbie.  Alfred Hitchcock + impressional youth = angry Parents (though I'm not sure it would exactly influence Kids to perpetrate bird attacks on people).

Aftermath?

It was a limited edition Barbie in 2008, so it was only made briefly
