A Playmobil Martin Luther Is Finally Here To Reform the Toy Industry

Cheaper plastics, terrible battery life, buggy software, and about a million different toys based on Disney’s Frozen? It’s about time that someone stepped forward and gave the toy industry a good shakedown.

This Could be the Most Sought-After April Fool’s ThinkGeek Gag Yet

Mark my words, this year’s ThinkGeek April Fool’s prank will wind up coming real—just like that Tauntaun sleeping bag. The only question is whether Apple will be a spoilsport and stop kids from getting a miniature sense of what it’s like to queue up for a shiny new iProduct. All because of copyright protection blah…
