50 Epic Toy Design Fails That Are So Bad, It’s Hilarious
We've seen our share of crappy design, 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 toys to prove that some designers have no clue what they're doing.
From a doll head, used as an actual pony tail to a psychotic Elmo, it seems ridiculous someone actually greenlighted these ideas. We're pretty sure, however, that the employees who did had a 'long talk' with their bosses after the fact. Scroll down to check out what we mean and vote for the ones that made you cringe the most.

This Fantastic Toy
true story: I had something like this as a kid (4/5yo) and I really thought that's what the male genitalia does (I can't ask then, culture thing). fast forward a year or so I had a dental emergency and my dad taking me to the dentist and decided to use his motorcycle so we can get there faster. I was so shocked I really thought he'd really would do the thing but I was even more shocked when he didn't bc I thought he didn't do it bc of my sake. what if the police stopped him for not putting the thing in the thing?? anyway, I learned the real thing soon after. I felt so stupid.

Who Greenlighted This Toy?
This toy is for very small kids, for them there's nothing wrong with this. Also, if not for this post, and I had seen this toy somewhere, honestly I would have not thought anything negative otherwise.

I actually thought #1 with the sad cactus inside was brilliant. It helps you feel better knowing your dog gets a second chance with a toy they rip apart... and having to reflect on their actions every time they see that sad face, lol.
yes! i love the sad cactus! very clever and so funny!
But why does it have to be sad...

Willie D'Kay what
actually this toy was designed that way. there is another design that is an acorn, which reveals a sad nut
Stephanie Pyke Good response!
I must admit most of them are very funny. Some fails, like the soccer ball printing or paw concentration camp are brilliant XD But I also have to say, that we - adults - are perverts :P A kid won't see anything wrong in a doll figurine with a hole where you attach the wooden branch or the pupming hole in a baloon between its legs. It's our filthy minds making most of these toys embarassing :P
Yeah, but it's mostly adults who design these toys, so.. ...
well even if u dont think of it as dirty how do you think you as a parent would look to other parents letting your child play with something like this and they will learn what it is eventually the toy just speeds up the process
Parents should be less judgmental of each other. Especially when you take different cultural sensitivities and customs into account. As someone who has a kid nothing amour me more than other people judging my parenting. Unless someone is neglecting or harming their child or it's development, it's nobody's business how another raises their kid.
Christian Lebis no
How would the toy speed up the process? I don't know about you, but I didn't make that kind of connections until I was well into my teens, so there would be many years before in which to play without thinking of anything related to sex. So, if other parents looked down on me when my hypothetical child were still small, I would think them to be weird and unable to think like a child.

Apparently, I was playing with my toys all wrong.
#51 crayon chin chan yes controversial tv series in the 90's japanese mothers wrote to the tv station saying that the children were "mimicking " shin chan bad manners (i sure the sexual connotations in some episodes, didn't please the moms either) . and the creators of the series made a episode to laugh off the complains . in the episode chin chan watch a new tv series called "shin chan" and he imitates the boy from the series saying bad words showing his butt and other things that made his mom crazy so she imitates the bad behavior and she thinks it work because shin chan stops saying bad words when the mom ask why he is not talking like the tv shin chan he said " because he is boring and i dont want to do it anymore". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD-AtaY8pUs
#51 is actually exactly what it's supposed to be. If anyone has watched the Shin-chan anime, he does an elephant dance with his penis.
Sense of humor. It matters.
I would've wondered what's so funny a few years back... But now I'm starting to turn into a "boring" adult, as my friend and I used to call them. And it turns out I simply couldn't appreciate adults' humour. Well, now I do, at least most of it... However, it doesn't have a lot of variety in all those jokes and fails.Every second fail features a d*ck fail.
