You might remember Wooly Willy/The Magnetic Man, a toy that was all the rage a couple of decades ago. Well, he’s back… sort of.

It’s not about magnets anymore, but the concept of the Food Face Dinner Plate is the same: a bald guy’s face kids can transform. And playing with food is highly recommended, despite what people might say. Just be careful, once you let the kids near one of these you can never convince them that food is not meant to be a toy.

On the plus side, a fun plate could turn a picky eater into a child eager to see what’s for dinner… even if it’s just to test out his new idea for his bald friend’s beard.

If this walrus knew how to speak, he’d be asking for royalties right now. Better known as the lolrus, this big boy and his bucket have made internet history. Some silly memes have a life of their own and they keep growing…

The latest development in this saga is the adorable Lolrus Plush Toy. He finally found his bucket and now he’s happily holding on to it.

The plushie is poseable, and wouldn’t his cute little triumphant face look great on your desk? Yes it would.

Oh, and there’s also a Happy Cat toy, but it’s kinda ugly.

The “Attack of the 50 Foot Baby” Stacking Blocks are a toy for the kids… made to entertain the parents. It’s pretty obvious.

It’s not exactly 50 ft (more like 30 inches), but what baby wouldn’t love to knock something down and not get scolded? The blocks are made from sturday cardboard, easy to push and stack, and if you’re lucky, the tots might enjoy it so much they’ll forget to test if your expensive vases can break.

But most parents will probably want it for the name. Admit it, don’t you just picture watching those home movies years later and laughing your ass off? The poor kid won’t have any idea what‘s so funny, but it might be a good time to introduce him or her to some classic movies.

What does a puzzle-addict do when he’s broken all the records on Rubik’s Cube (without taking it apart)? If he’s loyal to the brand and eager for a new challege, he picks up the Rubik’s 360.

The new game from Ernő Rubik brings a different approach: it’s a sphere and it’s less mathematics-based than its famous predecesor.

The goal is to move 6 colored balls from the center sphere to the compartments on the outer sphere, passing through a middle sphere with 2 holes.

This seems to be based more on luck and dexterity, so it might not appeal to all the fans of the cube, but it’s nevertheless a toy to look forward to. It won’t be launched until July or August, but you can already preorder it.

USB gizmos that talk to you are for lonely people who are bored at work, right? Does anyone else like them? I suppose they can be funny for 5 minutes, but afterwards you’ll be begging for your money back.

Anyway, if you’re very bored or hate your co-workers very much (or really love Family Guy), the Stewie IZMO Figure is your next best (USB-powered) friend.

As you type, Stewie will blink and wave his arm in a menacing way while the laser lights up, and will also occasionally talk to you/scare the shit out of the guy in the cubicle next to yours.

Now it’s time to figure out who of your friends is a Family Guy fan, give him this for his birthday and run away as fast as you can. He’ll love it, but there’s no need for you to suffer unnecessarily.

Believe it or not, a game of cards can beat playing on the computer or watching a movie… if you choose the right game and the right friends to play it with.

In this case, the friends need…. braaaaaainz! Sorry, couldn’t help it.

The Zombie Fluxx Card Game is another variation on a very cool theme: the game with ever-changing rules. The best thing? A player doesn’t have to win for the game to end; the undead can prevail.

There’s 4 types of cards: Keepers, Goals, Actions and Rules, plus a horde of Zombie Creeper cards. You’ll learn how to play it when you get it, but here’s a few teaser examples:
Goal Card: “Brain Sandwich – You win if you have Brains and Sandwiches on the table, plus at least one Zombie.”
Rule Card: “Zombie Jamboree” – All the Zombies gather in the center and then get redealt to each player.
Creeper: “Zombie Quartet” – Four Zombies to munch brains in front of you.

The “zombie apocalypse”? It’s called Ungoal Card: “Zombie Victory” – If there are at least 5 Zombie Creeper cards on the table, and all players have at least 1, the game ends with no winner. (The Zombies win!)

We can say that, in general, girls like stuffed animals. We can say that, in general, girls like to get cheesy Valentine’s presents.

The Shit Bitch Bear is one, but not the other… and it could work, really. Yeah, it’s not exactly the typical “I love you”, but girls do get bored of always getting the same things.

Of course, don’t ever try to give it to someone who makes a big deal out of Valentine’s or who lacks a sense of humor. Actually, don’t try it with 99% of the female population.

But if your significant other is a bit twisted, doesn’t appreciate commercial holidays and can take a joke… I say give it a shot. The message is positive, underneath it all.

Also available in brown, but it kinda looks like a truck hit it, so I’d personally go for the white one.

The Toofhairy is 7 years old and comes from Glasgow. Its turn-on is toothpaste, and its turn-off is cavities. It’s adorable and it can be yours.

The full-size version was released a while ago, so now it’s time for a smaller incarnation: the Toofhairy Mini, 3 inches high and ready to be clipped to your bag or backpack. Who could resist those big blue eyes?

And if you’ve got a kid who’s started losing baby teeth, you know what to get to make them feel better, right? Wish I had toys like this when I was 5.

If you want to teach your kid some science, you can go the boring way (books and theory) or the fun way (hands-on kits).

Although they might not always admit it, kids are attracted to things that make them go “ew”, so the Disgusting Science Set is one of the best bets for parents who want to drag their children away from the TV.

Hey, who wouldn’t love to grow mold? It’s more exciting when it’s in a controlled environment, not on the bedroom walls, anyway. Then there’s bacteria in Petri dishes (do I see a microscope coming for a birthday?), fake blood, the reason why we pass gas and have smelly feet, and they can even get to know the tiny creatures that live on us…

It’s probably not suited for all children, but I can imagine a couple of boys who’ll have the time of their lives threatening their sisters with the green mold they just grew.

All evil robots bent on destroying mankind were babies in the beginning. Maybe if they’d gotten more love their murderous tendecies would have subsided…

This is our chance to try saving the world. If we show a Huggable Killer Plush Robot some affection it might change its mind about blowing the Earth to pieces and maybe, just maybe, it will talk his brothers into letting us live for a while longer.

You can even choose yours: Stepper who looks a bit calmer, or Ninja Servo, who might need some pacifying before it even accepts a hug.
