I've been really enjoying the recent
Bizarre Toy Find articles and wondered if I could find similar things around my town.
So this past weekend I dragged a few of my friends to some of the local flea-markets to see if I could obtain one of these "treasures".
And I'm extremely happy to report I found one on my very first outing!
Little Animal's Telephone!
Look at that thing!
It's apparently a toy telephone that looks like Goku from the show Dragon Ball Z.
I say apparently because it has no real description of what it is.
As you can see it's simply named "TELEPHONE" from a company called "Little Animal".
Aside from the unlicensed picture of Goku on the right, there's no indication of who or what this is supposed to be.
So besides the "Voice or Musical" telephone part, what does it do?
It has a flashlight (or "Electric torch") that is controlled by moving it's arm up and down.
Anything else?
I have no idea. But that is a fine bit of Engrish there isn't it?
"Nighttime a bankable actor" may not be quite as good as "
Can seesaw the booy", but I'd say it's a fine second place.
Oh, and there's one other odd thing I noticed about it.
They made him a woman!
For some reason they gave him lipstick and mascara, really makes the thing look creepy as hell.
There it is in all it's unboxed glory!
So, can a extremely cheap toy that looks like it's been sitting in a warehouse for ten years possibly still work?
Yep.
I had a blast finding this thing.
And I will definitely be going to more flea-markets in the future in search for additional items of such quality.
P.S. I did pick up one other thing while I was out.
This elf appears to have eaten all the other elves to obtain the magical snowball.
I'm sure I would have done the same thing.
