Is there any better way to introduce children to the birds and the bees, then by teaching through the packaging of their toys? I think not. Dinosaurs humping. If Barbie and Ken were packaged like this, parents would not have to explain sex to their kids.

When you aren’t looking, your toys are having some fun of their own. Doing stuff like re-creating the cover for Abbey Road for instance. Hit the link for a lot more.

That sounds like a sexual reference in a Heavy Metal song, minus the Hasbro part.

I first told you about Hasbro’s new line of Mighty Muggs toys last week. Well, Hasbro sent me a cool sample of none other then Spidey’s arch-rival Venom in Mighty Mugg form. I want to pass it on to a lucky reader.

Comment below before midnight on March 31st, for your chance to win him. Funniest comment wins! I want to hear some Mighty Muggs inspired comedy. Contest is open to anyone in the U.S.

These things are freakish and at the same time freakishly awesome, so it should be easy to make us laugh.

So am I, but that’s both a blessing and a curse. This new series of 6 inch toys by Hasbro, on the other hand, is totally cool. They come in Star Wars and Marvel characters and even Indiana Jones versions. Some of my favorites are Venom, Iron Man, Darth Maul and the Stormtrooper.

They are just plain cute and cuddly, but they also look like they could turn evil in a pinch too.

As Christmas approaches, some of us can’t help but lament on some choice moments from the Star Wars saga that never quite made it to store shelves. Here are a few toys that Lucas has been denying us, blast his flannel wearing hide! Courtesy of McMorran.

Want to recreate the moisture farm massacre, where Luke’s aunt and uncle were killed by imperial stormtroopers? I hear ya. Me too.

More toys that we should have had include the ‘Force’ action figure, and that dead Ewok from Jedi. How about a box full of rocks from the Princess’s home planet Alderaan freshly destroyed by the Death Star?

Don’t get enough of your celebrity fix from us? Don’t like the way the story unfolded between Britney and the Paparazzi in real life? Recreate the encounter they way you wanted it to go down with The Paparazzi Play Set.

Yes it’s creepy to play with your little celebrity chasing figures, but damnit, you just have to catch TomKat coming out of that movie opening.

Comes complete with nine vinyl paparazzi and a cardboard “velvet” rope. Re-enact scenes from E! News as they are happening. All for $14.95.

But don’t forget, there’s an outside world out there. Maybe you can experience some of it after you finish that fan letter and clean up that pile of glue and magazines with all the letters cut out.
