We've seen our share of crappy designs, but store shelves are so abundant with them, there's always more to poke fun at. For example, toys. They're usually designed and made by adults, so you'd expect a considerable amount of consideration before manufacturing them, right? Well, not so much. Bored Panda has collected some of the most questionable toy design fails to prove that some designers have no clue what they're doing.

From a doll head, used as an actual tail for a pony to a psychotic Elmo, it seems ridiculous someone actually greenlighted these horrible ideas. We're pretty sure, however, that the employees who did have a 'long talk' with their bosses after the fact. Scroll down to check out what we mean and vote for the funniest toy design fails that made you cringe the most.

Why Do These Toy Design Fails Happen?

Sure, it’s all fun and games to look at these funny toy design fails, but have you ever wondered how come they’re actually there for you to buy in the first place? Surely, you have to be some evil mastermind to create these atrocities, right? While that might very well be the truth, we figured more realistic causes that might allow some of these worst toy design fails to happen: 

First things first—to create engaging toys, the manufacturers have to do thorough market research. If they skip this step and imagine kids being these little monsters, chances are they’re headed for a toy design fail. 

Furthermore, even if the designers did market research but failed to actually test the products with real children, toy fails might be inevitable.

Lastly, the quality of production (like stamping completely wrong eyes on a doll) and even an overly complex design can be a straight pathway to some epic toy design fails. 

All in all, it requires a great deal of creativity and thought to create really good toys. If some parts in the process are missing, it might lead to some toy fails of massive proportions. But hey, at least we have these funniest toy fails to laugh at!
