The Worst Girls Toy Ever

When I was a kid, I had My Little Pony's and they looked like this. Saccharine and silly, but harmless.



I've been waiting for the opportunity to use the phrase "threw up in my mouth a little," and here it is.



WHAT is THAT, you ask? That is a Strutz. Interesting how it rhymes with Slutz. Or Putz. Or Nutz.

Look closer. Not only is it obscenely ugly, but it's wearing high heels and carrying a purse.

I don't even know where to start. I had no idea it was possible to take something as innocent as a pony and turn it into a four-legged hooker. This thing makes My Little Pony look like a choir girl.

I'm so flabbergasted, I'll just say this: These are not cute and they are not funny. Please don't buy one for my daughter or I'll disown you.

Gees. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Not only did they slutty up the pony, they made the top of her leg as skinny as the bottom.

Mer said...

Great post- I totally agree with you. I threw up a bit too!

Jen said...

OMG. Do not let my daughter see that thing. She's gravitates toward this kind of stuff.

Kuckie said...

UGH. That rates right up there with those blasted Bratz dolls...I hate those things!!

Scribbit said...

Oh my. I cannot believe it--so what, is the horse supposed to also be sexually appealing?

Worst, dumbest, you got it right on that one.

So much for Misty and Flick, huh?

Missy said...

I completely agree with you. that thing is awful!! Makes me glad that all of my barbies and my little ponies and stuff like that is still in my mother's attic for when Kylie gets old enough!

Terina said...

yuck. i may have to learn to sew to make toys for my kids if this is the kind of crap that they'll have on the shelves when lucy gets older.

It's a horse, so the Howler will want it...and she will NOT be getting it.

And now I have to update my "Do Not Even Consider Getting This Crap For My Daughter"

Jane said...

That's TERRIBLE!!! If I had a daughter, I would NEVER let her see Bratz dolls- not that I'm Gloria Steinham but they reinforce every awful stereotype I wouldnt want me daughter to be.

Teresa said...

I could not agree with you more!!

The Mrs. said...

HORRIFYING! If I saw it I'd run!

Katie said...

I never knew a toy horse could look like a whore....but apparently it is possible!

Erin said...

Good grief I laughed so hard at your post! Then I thanked God I have boys. I can't believe they made a horse with stripper hair and a purse! What will they think of next? Who actually buys this crap anyway?

VDog said...

That is atrocious. What happened to My Little Pony? What was so wrong that they needed to "improve" on the concept??

Al_Pal said...

Terrible!
