Well my disclaimer before I go any further, I adore furry British animals and the saddest thing to see is them dead on the side of roads, but I have a sense of humour so when I was tentatively asked to consider reviewing Roadkill Toys I did laugh when I read about them.
I knew Conor would find it hilarious he is at that wonderful age where the gross things in life are thrilling.
Chris too never has grown up.
Paige I thought would hate them but found them funny she kept as I did saying awww though!
These are the sort of prezzie any self respecting Goth would adore for their bedtime cuddly, they also make a shocking gift for the in laws. Go on how pleasing would it be to see your resident Mrs Bucket (Its pronounced Bouquet!) gasp.
The door wedge Pop Goes the Weasel produced howls of laughter here. Its got to be a talking point this Christmas if nothing else as poor Pop's eyes bulge. He comes in a little coffin and is quite dainty so not altogether horrifying.
He has an epitaph on the front of his resting place that says Herein lies Pop The Weasel
In Death May His Body Be of Some Use as a Door Wedge!
Awwww!
Roadkill Toys specialise in creating original toy characters with an unusual twist – they have all been run over...well not literally. Roadkill Toys like to call it “Squash Plush Couture”, so unlike real Roadkill, these remain soft, plush and retain their colours. Oh and they don’t smell.
There’s three Roadkill Toys in the Squash Plush Couture collection; Twitch the Racoon, Grind the Rabbit and Splodge the Hedgehog. All these not so cuddly collectibles come with a death certificate and in body bag packaging, all retailing at £25 each.
For those who like gifts of a more practical nature, Roadkill Toys would like to introduce Pop the Weasel. It’s a door wedge! Putting the fun into function, Roadkill Toys have captured Pop just as he pops his clogs. The weasel door wedge has its little paws splayed out in front. His googly eye pops out every time the door is jammed on top of his battered body. Pop the Weasel comes in his very own made-to-measure coffin with plastic peepholes on the lid. Inside is a death certificate witnessed and signed by a doctor, and a toe tag attached to his twitching paw giving details of his demise.
Pop the Weasel retails at £15.
The entire Roadkill Toys collection is available on www.roadkilltoys.com
