Toy developers have to come up with enough ideas every day to quench the unrelenting need of kids to have more “stuff”. So it’s understandable that their ideas can’t all be winners, but these toys are worlds below the realm of “bad idea” of the “what the hell were you thinking” variety. Here are the 11 kids’ toys that make us second guess the entire children’s toy industry.

Giant Robot is proud to host Adventures in Lollipopland, a show featuring new works by Buff Monster.
Buff Monster is best known for his wheat-pasted, street art featuring lumps of ice cream, clouds, and squirting breasts. He needs just a few tones to seize your eyeballs–black, gray, white, and pinks–and his disarmingly sweet imagery has spilled over into the worlds of fashion, collectibles, and galleries, as well as collaborations for the likes of The Standard, Hurley, Vans, Helio, and Nike.
In Adventures in Lollipopland, Buff Monster is celebrating “the duality of cute and ice-cream-inspired traditional imagery, along with heavy-metal-inspired darker imagery. Some pieces are cute and fun; others are darker and more Satanic.” In contrast to his last show at GRNY, which featured kaiju-inspired characters along with a lot of writing in kanji, he considers this to be a neo traditional show. Pieces are slated to include 3 16″ x 16″ paintings, 30 10″ x 10″ wood panels, and some small, fun 7″ x 7″ pieces, as well as custom toys.
