The Pet Rock is brilliant in it's simplicity, and the people who bought it were happily in on the joke. It was a cool cultural phenomenon and a bit of silly when this nation needed some silliness. It was also unique. This though...not so much. My original point was that this sort of half-assed lameness has run rampant in the toy biz these days. Silliness and generic lameness are a dime a dozen now.

The pet rock was great, you got the box, owners manual, and bedding, it was a great joke novelty gag gift with a lot of character. Like cans of dehydrated water, something to put on a shelf as a conversation starter or make yourself smile.

This line doesn't evoke anything, it's just a nothing product.
What even are these characters supposed to be? I see a pencil in there...but...what the fuck? Who is this for? Last edited by BizCopperhead; 11-13-2022 at 06:16 PM.. |

Old saying goes into play here. If you don't want it don't buy it. People will buy these and the company will make money off them. Why does a line have to evoke anything to be fun?
