Yeah its pretty gross. I mean we had gross things like Spewballs and Creepy Crawlers and Garbage Pail Kids but I dunno. I'll never understand poo toys.

I have never been a fan of poop toys no matter what form they take or how they're marketed but I think these are some of the most gross poop toys I've seen.

MGAE is gonna get themselves into more lawsuits with these "parodies" :lol:

You can't just take the likeness of a trademarked character, make it poop and call it a parody to save your butt.
Chew-Kaka and Harry Pooper and the Turd-les... ha ha... That's what really annoys me. Not the poop trend but them using other companies' characters to make a quick buck. Even their Poopsie Pets had some really "interesting" choices with their blue hedgehog named "Speed" XD

Garbage Pail Kids and Wacky Packages never got in any kind of trouble.

Honestly I love parodies and find them hilarious. Not something I would collect because I'm not a fan of the art style of the figures themselves. Then again most of the time the poop themed things out there don't bother me because most of the time it's thankfully not realistic enough to set off my "Ew! This is poop!" reflex.

Except that MGAE is known for suing the companies they parody. One of these days they'll get countersued. They can be happy Louis Vuitton merely dismissed them when they tried to sue them over their poop bag :cool:

I actually thought they had gone to the bother of getting licensing. XD

Not my cup of tea, but if kids get a kick out of them... that’s fine. Honestly, I think half the reason kids like this kind of thing is because it gets adults so riled up. :haha:

Garbage Pail Kids actually WERE sued though, weren’t they? For being too similar to Cabbage Patch Kids?

Wow, that's really bold! How does some rinky dink toy company have the nerve to try and sue big name companies? One of these days they're gonna land themselves in deep...doo-doo.
