Wow someone dropped the ball on this one big time. They are going to have to change distributors probably in order to avoid the backlash. Still it is quite funny that someone snuck it by them.

I am sure they will be on ebay eventually

That would have been the coolest toy ever.

How did a toy like that ever even get past the first stages of making it? How come as soon as someone saw the design of the toy they didn't pull it?

cause it was made overseas is my guess. And the people that made it were happy to be making it.

i never know how to take these statements because you can't hear tone of voice when something is in text....

but if you were serious... hmmm....

I know my respect for you probably means absolutaly nothing, but i can tell you if you WERE serious... yeah... no respect for Halx

like I said... that's making an assumption you were actually serious

These things will be worth a small fortune in ten years. They'll just go up in value after ebay bans them.

Not to completely give myself away, but I'm surprised people actually stop and consider the seriousness of such flagrantly obnoxious statements. I mean, you KNOW it's a fucked up thing to say. How am I supposed to take it that you'd actually expect me to say something as fucked up as that and mean it?

People need to understand that life is too important to take seriously.

Most of my repetoire of humor relies on sarcastic morbidity. Just so you can catch it next time.

They should have got Todd Mcfarlane to design it, then at least it would have had better detail.

What's the yellow on the right side? a button? I wonder if it talks.

The most disturbing thing of all is the fact that these toys went into bags of candy without anyone giving them a glance. If this was done with a malicious intent this could've gotten really ugly really quickly.

That's almost as good as an already bruised and impaled Rodney King doll. One pull of his string and he'll blurt out a drunken phrase in between cries for help.

hahahaha i want one!

i have a dark sense of humor, so while most people would be appalled at these things, I just laugh.. the controversy is wonderful.

This reminds me of a shirt I once saw that I couldn't stop laughing at... instead of "I <3 NY", the heart shape was a shape of a plane.

Not that I think 9/11 was funny, but man that was a hilarious shirt.

Thats really great. I mean you've got some anti-american company making toys overseas for children that depict 9\11? That bothers me a lot more than someone ordering the wrong junk to throw in crackerjack boxes.

KirStang

OMG! Track them down and invade them! Then we'll set up an interm, free government

Seriously though, making a toy like that is just not cool. It's making fun of two thousand deaths...They'd rethink the whole situation if one of their loved ones died in 9/11.

Bill O'Rights

Y'know...speaking as someone that also has a fucked up sense of humor, you've got to expect these types of responses to it. A lot of us have been around long enough to know your twisted sense of humor, but as the site continues to grow, a lot don't. Now, Ace has been around here for awhile now, but he aparently has yet to trip over one of your little "landmines". You might want to mark your response to him though. Then you can just copy and paste it for the next time.

To me that doesn't resemble a plane flying into the "twin towers". It looks like a plane is suspended between two anonymous skyscrapers. There is no explosion or anything... The only real connection is the model number - which could be coincidental.

I am just wondering if people who didn't know about 9/11, let's say children, would understand the intended meaning we assume the toy manufacturer wanted to portray.

nameinuse

I want one so badly.

waltert

wow, thats such a great prank. if they really had anti-american sentiment, they would have put poison in the candy. thats just someone's bad joke, and you cant really get worked up and crazy over it...otherwise you'll destroy all of the third world countires that make clothing.

animosity

It is part of American History now... Maybe the manufacturer was trying to educate children? I realize it was a tragedy but still... People need to stop being so uptight.

So toy tanks and guns are OK but let's have a cow over a toy depicting 2 buildings and a plane. Why isn't the plane just flying over a city? Looks like the approach to Dulles in Washington. Talk about having to squeeze between buildings!!

I guess stuff like that is just one more argument against moving manufacturing businesses out of the country. I can understand why people would be upset over the toy and I appreciate that they recalled them, but I still don't understand how nobody in the company saw them before they were packaged. There had to be workers in the packaging facility.

Good Sir, I have several questions in regard to the sale of your Rodney King doll. I would like to know the exact phrasing of its cries for help and its various drunken phrases. I also have questions about whether the doll is posable by its feet or if the doll is actually supended in the air by impaling. If your doll meets my requirements, I will happily pay in excess of 200$ USD for your authentic "already bruised and impaled Rodney King doll".

Thank you for your time good sir.
