So Bad It's Good/Toys

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of So Bad It's Good in Toys include:

  • GoBots Rocklords. Think Transformers, but instead becoming something cool like a car, a dinosaur, a plane, or a tank, they became rocks! You could choose between granite, quartz or shale amongst others!
    • The really stupid bit is in Go Bots movie - they transform and roll out and slowly clump away down the road like bricks turning under their own power.
    • Parodied in the Tom Hanks movie Big, where Hanks - playing a kid who has been transformed into a grown-up - is shown a new toy that his employers are working on. It's an immobile skyscraper that turns into a giant robot. "So what's so fun about playing with a building? That's not any fun!" He then goes on to propose "a big prehistoric insect with maybe like giant claws that could pick up a car and crush it like that!"
  • The Piraka rap from Bionicle. Listen to it here in all of its hilarious glory.
  • Doggie Doo, in which you push on an air pump to make a plastic dog poop yellow play-doh, see it in it's glory here, it's notable for becoming an internet sensation in Germany, and instantly became a meme when it arrived in America, with it's toy commercials airing during the meme fountain My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
  • And speaking of My Little Pony, we have PINK Princess Celestia.
  • Many a Shoddy Knockoff Toy, particularly those collections of many figures that include, say, Superman, Goku, The Hulk, Batman and Captain America in the same blister pack.
