When you’re a kid, toys are magical. With just a toy and a little bit of imagination, a kid can transport herself to another place for hours on end.
But when you’re an adult, and you look at the toys you used to play with, that magic is gone. Instead, it’s difficult not to see just how badly made many of our beloved toys really are.
Today via Bored Panda we’ve got 15 toys that are so shoddy it’s hard to imagine even the most imaginative kid having fun with them. In fact, when you laugh at how crappy they are, it’s probably the first time these toys have brought ANYONE joy.
The point is, we should always be looking forward, never back. (Like I keep trying to tell that judge.)
